Elite athletes find key to corporate success
| |
| For Cathy Freeman and Ian Thorpe and now Stephanie Rice and Michael Phelps Olympic success has literally brought fame and fortune … but their high profile success is not just about the colour of their medals.
With the Olympics just over I can’t help but think of all the other athletes who won medals and wonder how many of them will end up with amazing sponsorship and media deals like Cathy, Ian, Stephanie and Michael. Not many I’ll bet. And with the Paralympics just begun, how many of these athletes will capitalise on their talent and success with lucrative sponsorship and media deals? Maybe even less. |

Ready to Wear: Lauren Launches His Line
| |
| Lauren’s handmade neckties were flying off the shelves. It was a conservative time in the fashion world and Lauren’s ties, showy as they were, were making a splash. But Lauren knew that if he was going to stick around in the business for much longer, he had to follow that up with something else – and fast. In 1968, with the help of a $50,000 loan, Lauren founded Polo Fashions. He chose the name not because he liked the sport; indeed, he had never played polo before in his life. But to Lauren, the name symbolized power and style – an image he wanted his clothes to project. |

Work and Play
| |
| I will always remember George Burns stating, "If you love your job, you will never work a day in your life."
George Burns enjoyed his life and his work for a century.
If you enjoy what you do, you can substitute the "Thank God it's Friday" club for the "Thank God it's Monday"
club. Beyond what you do for a living, you will receive tremendous benefits if you enjoy the people you work
with.
