Financing the Future: J.P. Morgan Takes Off
Following the American Civil War, Morgan decided to get involved in the railroad business. Taking what he had learned both from his father and his own investment banking experience, Morgan began to purchase railroad companies that he noticed were struggling to stay afloat.

Refining Success: Standard Oil Takes Shape

Lesson #1: Keep Your Operations Lean And Clean
In 2001, Musk had another one of his many dreams: he wanted to launch a “Mars Oasis” project, landing a miniature greenhouse on Mars.

The Art of Being with Fear: Never Be Stopped By Fear Again
You are standing on railroad tracks when you begin to feel the vibration from the train on the metal rails. You consider running home. Then you hear the clatter of the rails from the oncoming train, the train horn, your heart starts to race, your body starts to shake and as you turn to run you are suddenly struck with terror. You begin to sweat and then suddenly you realize the train wasn't going to hit, but just pass you bay. You are still alive, but you have broken through to a whole new level of awareness and reality.

Excessive Cost Cutting and Your Business Model
When I travel for speaking engagements, my accommodations are often booked for me. I checked in early to my Holiday Inn Express room in Houston yesterday. As I looked around my room, signs of bean-counter hell abounded. As I scratched my itchy skin, I noticed that only shampoo and conditioner were in the bathroom. When I went to iron my clothes, I noticed something odd about the ironing board. It only was as high as my mid thigh. I am 5 foot 11, so this miniature ironing board was easier to use on my knees rather than bending over.

Hydroponic Grow Closet: The Perfect Place to Grow your Own Food
I recently had a response to one of my videos on growing in hydroponics and it said, more or less, that we should all stop denying the fact that we only need a hydroponic grow closet for one crop and one crop only. What absolute nonsense! The world would be starving if it wasn’t for the producers of food using hydroponics and a hydroponic grow closet is just a miniature version for us to use in our own homes. At the moment, I am growing broccoli, lettuce and cucumbers in my hydroponic grow closet and boy, do they taste good!
Don’t Allow the D’s in Your Life to Defeat You
Norman Vincent Peale, author of The Power of Positive Thinking is one of my all-time favourite persons. While preparing to write my usual Monday Rx blog post, I picked up the Miniature Edition of his book and it opened at the chapter “I Don’t Believe in Defeat”. What serendipity! That’s exactly what I was going to write about. For starters, here’s a quote from the chapter: “If you are thinking thoughts of defeat, I urge you to rid yourself of such thoughts, for as you think defeat you tend to get it. Adopt the “I don’t believe in defeat” attitude.”
