Master of the Show: P.T. Barnum is Born
| |
| The Fiji Mermaid, Siamese twins Chang and Eng Bunker, General Tom Thumb the Midget – besides being considered “freaks”, they all had in common one man, P.T. Barnum. He was a master showman whose rise to fame came in the 19th century thanks to his traveling “freak shows”. But Barnum was more than that; he was above all else an entrepreneur and a highly successful salesman. Barnum knew how to get people talking. Today, the legacy of his work lives on in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, still billed as ‘The Greatest Show On Earth.’ |

Okay, I agree, it’s time to take to the road again!
| |
| I admit it, I have been lost in space. I have been under the weather, dialing for the invidious dollar, hiding in the cloak of my own fearful imagination, waiting for the other shoe to drop, worrying about phantoms, ghosts, shadows sliding across the wall, ex-wives, a couple of my five children who stopped speaking to me, preparing myself every morning to sit down and write, my new book for one thing, even took to reading my old books just to see whether or not I have actually written anything I could claim my stake on, believe me. |

Don't Think Too "Small"

| Don't Think Too "Small"
Simple as it may sound, many small companies stay small because their owners never dare to think big. It's true: Negative or defeatist thinking is the greatest obstacle to business success. As long as the entrepreneur thinks of himself as a nickel-and-dime operator, his company will never be more than a financial midget scratching around for subsistence earnings. It is an easy trap to fall into. You may, after all, run a small venture with relatively few employees and limited capital. Accepting the role of a small-time business owner is an inexcusable business mistake. It is like drawing a circle around your company and promising not to grow any bigger than these artificial borders. |

How I Changed a Copywriters Mind About Selling
| |
| There are already enough marketing manuals and marketing e-books online to make King Kong feel like a midget. Most of them are called “How to write killer advertising copy” or “How to write adverts that draw people to your product like bees to the honey jar”. Not to mention half a gazillion e-books and manuals called “How you can make money on the Internet by selling products called How to make money on the Internet”. |

America’s Got Talent?
| |
| If you have been watching NBC on Monday nights recently you may have seen the show “America’s Got Talent”. It doesn’t specify what kind of talent America’s got – just that we have it. Tonight we had examples of talent from midget break dancers, a Frank Sinatra wanna-be, and a group of eleven year old dancing girls. I guess they define “talent” quite loosely on this show.
Which brings me to the following question: just how do you define talent? Personally, I have been known to strum the banjo, but does that kind of talent prepare anyone to ascend the management ladder in today’s corporate America? I think not.
