Lesson #4: Know Your Business Inside Out
“I try to keep in touch with the details,” says Murdoch. “I also look at the product daily. That doesn't mean you interfere, but it's important occasionally to show the ability to be involved. It shows you understand what's happening.”

Simon Cowell Girlfriend
It might be hard for some American Idol fans to believe that somebody out there could actually be in love with the ruthless judge they see each week hurling out insults at contestants with merciless force and at lightening speed. But, stranger things have happened. She says it isn’t easy being labeled the Simon Cowell girlfriend, but Terri Seymour wouldn’t trade her position for anything in the world.

Lesson #3: Every Spare Second Counts For Success
“Where the idea for Harry Potter actually came from, I really couldn’t tell you,” says Rowling. “I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and it just popped into my head. I spent four hours thinking about what Hogwarts would be like – the most interesting train journey I've ever taken. By the time I got off at King's Cross, many of the characters in the books had already been invented.”

One On One with Pierre Omidyar
My preview of Woz’s book, I, Woz, got me thinking of engineers who embody purity. Another outstanding example of this is Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. On September 5, 2000, I did a “fireside chat” with Pierre at a Garage event in London. Here is a video of this interview:

Be It Resolved, Analysts are Worthless
The following email from the head of global equity research at HSBC (my long-ago employer) to London analysts is being called, at least in the U.K., crass and demotivating. I have to confess, I don't actually find it all that troubling: More than a few analysts that I used to work with could have used some tough talk:

The Apprentice - Idiots, Stalkers and Automobiles

Making an Exhibition of Yourself - Getting the most from business and trade shows
From 'Grow your own Business' to 'The Franchise Show'; from 'Ideal Business Show' to 'E Commerce 08', there are a wealth of business exhibitions to choose from. I recently attended the Business StartUp Show in London and its success was clear to see. The exhibition hall was buzzing all day, some of the bigger stands had swarms of people around them and queues for the business seminars snaked around the hall. Among all of the activity there were some wonderful examples of how to, and how not to, network at an exhibition. Events like this are, naturally, great ground for networking. Whether you are an exhibitor or a visitor, it's an opportunity to grasp with both hands. Here are some of my top tips for networking, both as a visitor to a business exhibition, and as an exhibitor based on what I observed on the day:

Business Travel and Relocation: Leased Apartment or Serviced Apartment?
If you are a business traveler, temporarily staying in a new location to work with a company, then you may be having some difficulty deciding what kind of accommodations to look for. A hotel room for an extended stay is almost certainly too expensive. Your options are likely limited to leasing an apartment, or renting a serviced apartment.

Being Organised Wins You More Business
My daughter is relocating to take up a job in London at the end of year which has proved to be a more traumatic experience for me, rather than her. ..... If you're a parent you'll know how it feels when one of your children leaves home. Of course it will be a great adventure for her, but for me and her father it's a bit scary. Living in another city is one thing, but relocating to another country... well that's even harder for her parents. ..... Anyhow, I won't ponder on this too long, but it's been an interesting experience. As Tia has to relocate herself with no help from her employer, it can be difficult if you don't know anyone there. So being a good networker and an organised person I've done 2 things.

The Wrap Up Of 2007
So here is my final newsletter for the year... time for a quick reflection on the past, and looking forward to the future. Business has been very rewarding this year, financially and emotionally. I've experienced some major highs and lows this year personally. And no matter how much I achieve, nothing is more important than my family and my health.

How To Solve Your Problems With The Right Solutions
Hope you enjoyed yourself over the break and are all renewed and revigorated to zoom ahead. Our family had a relaxing time at home. We didn't go away as my daughter relocated to London just after Christmas, so we were around to see her off. Guess where we'll be going on our next holiday? So it's back to business... Now's the time to clear out the clutter, write out your goals for the year, plan what you need to do and then take action.
