The Knockout Entrepreneur: The Early Years of George Foreman
He went from being a lean, mean fighting machine to selling lean, mean grilling machines. At 6 foot 3.5 inches, George Foreman stands tall as a leader in the boxing world and business world alike. And, in both, he has risen to unprecedented heights of success. Considered one of the top ten greatest boxers of all time, and having sold almost 100 million George Foreman Grills, this is one entrepreneur who refuses to get knocked down.

Lesson #5: “I let negativity roll off me like water off a duck’s back.”
Growing up, Foreman’s life was not an easy one. He experienced one setback after another, each threatening to veer him off course towards greatness. Foreman, however, managed to overcome. From acknowledging his own weaknesses to avoiding the destructive power of negativity, Foreman’s career is evidence that greatness can often come from a path of greater struggle.

5.3.4 The unemployed: Public sector training
The unemployed in most developing countries are generally not the most economically vulnerable because, in the absence of state income support of some kind or another, the poor cannot afford not to work.

Why your organization needs media interview skills training
Many top executives have seen for themselves how challenging the media can be to deal with. If they haven't personally experienced the cold stares of the press corps, they certainly have seen their friends thrust into the frying pan. In our dealings with CEOs and other corporate leadership, it is typical for them to tell us that a journalist's job is to uncover sensational details and present them in a way that turns heads and raises eyebrows -- the facts notwithstanding. Many feel that journalists aren't interested in the truth; they are interested in bullying their subjects and making them look bad.

Fred Smith Has Lift-Off: The Beginnings of Federal Express
“By the early '70s when I'd gotten out of the service it was very clear that this new society was coming in earnest,” recalls Smith. “And so, at that point I said, ‘What the hell, let's try to put it together.’” After leaving the U.S. Marine Corps, Smith purchased a controlling interest in Ark Aviation Sales, a company that focused on aircraft maintenance. This was the first step towards realizing his goal of what would soon become Federal Express.

ATTRACTING GLOBAL SUCCESS (Part Four)
If enough effort by enough people, thinking the same things feeling the same emotions worked towards splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen thus giving us abundant FREE ENERGY to run almost everything cleanly…Do you think it would happen (excluding the greed of the oil corps). Of course it would because we focused on what we wanted more than what we wanted to complain about (giving the opposite the focus and energy).
African Digerati: Ethan Zuckerman
Ethan Zuckerman is the 5th in the African Digerati series of interviews. Honestly, I’m amazed with what Ethan has done with technology and what he continues to do - so much of which directly benefits Africans. His line-up of web projects is simply amazing. What isn’t mentioned here is that he founded Geekcorps, a non-profit technology volunteer corps, that creates real tangible technology change on the African continent. He’s also on my “required reading” list of African bloggers.

The Secrets of Morale and Cohesion
To become a world-class leader, an executive must have at least some appreciation and respect for the more ethereal aspects of leadership, such as morale, cohesion and esprit de corps. Even better is to have a profound understanding of these moral factors. They are not easily measured and can be quite fickle, even fragile. This article provides key distinctions between these concepts and helps to guide a leader in monitoring them.
The Art of Survival: An Interview with Jerry White
Jerry White is the co-founder of Survivor Corps (formerly Landmine Survivors Newwork). His life changed in 1984 when he lost his leg in a landmine explosion while visiting Israel. After this experience he has championed the cause of survivorship and became a leader in the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. In 1997 he shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Jody Williams for his efforts. He recently published a book called I Will Not Be Broken: Five Steps to Overcoming a Life Crisis.
The Netrepreneur: The Early Years of Netflix’s Reed Hastings
He used to teach mathematics in Swaziland as an American Peace Corps volunteer. So, when 48 year old Reed Hastings decided to found his own software company, some eyebrows were raised. But Hastings would prove the disbelievers wrong with the subsequent founding of Netflix, the largest movie-rental service via mail in the U.S. With over 10 million subscribers and sales in the billions, Hastings proved he was able to go from living in Africa, to living in affluence.

It's Re-Election Time! Get The Picture?
So while everyone was thinking about the brave troops who finally capped Osama Bin Laden the other day, I was also thinking about whether or not they had a 71-Quebec out there with them on that mission (that's Army Talk for "journalist," or at least it used to be). I guess they must have, because this week's big news is President Obama's decision not to release the photos that were taken of Dead Terrorist Number One. So since the global paparrazzi corps was busy sobering up in London after Will-'n'-Kate, and since civilian "journalists" only take pictures of car chases and tornado damage (when they can squeeze those things in around their grip-and-grin work at the White House), any photos that existed had to have been taken by some hard-working military journalist....
