The Sandwich King: The Early Years of Subway’s Fred DeLuca
Fred DeLuca was nothing more than a kid from “The Projects”, looking for a way to pay his college tuition when he opened up a sandwich store in Bridgeport, Connecticut. At the time, he could not even afford the $25 lawyer’s fee he needed to sign the lease. That was back in 1956. Today, his store has blossomed into the third largest fast food chain in the world. Subway remains one of the largest global privately held companies and earns revenues in excess of $9.5 billion.

Living The American Dream: How Dov Charney Fashioned His Own Success
“Give me the chance of going to Harvard or being there when Google started and I want to be there making $3 an hour sweeping their floors. Or Apple when Steve Jobs started it,” says Charney. “Maybe I'm delusional but that's what I think American Apparel is.” For Charney, the success of American Apparel has just begun.

The Little Submarine That Could: DeLuca Takes Subway to the Top
In less than a week, DeLuca had gone from a struggling student earning minimum wage, to a submarine sandwich store owner, all thanks to his friend Pete Buck. “I talked to Pete on Sunday,” recalls DeLuca. “I borrowed my dad’s car on Monday and drove around a little bit and found a vacant store.” The next Saturday, DeLuca returned to the store with Buck and rented it.

Tip O'Neill, the late Speaker of The House of Representatives is often quoted as saying "All politics is local," meaning a politician that helps a constituent with a problem is likely to win that vote based on the personal assistance provided, irrespective of that politician's stance on the larger, more weighty, geo-political issues.

Beware Time Liabilities
Are you surrounded by Time Liabilities? I define a Time Liability as: a) anything that consumes time unnecessarily or b) anything that causes you to spend time in activities that are less profitable than your most profitable activity. If your filing system causes you to spend extra time doing $9 per hour clerical work, trying to find that important document you misplaced, then you have a Time Liability. If your workspace is so uncomfortable that you have to spend time at a chiropractor every month to correct your spine alignment problems, you definitely have a Time Liability!
Doing what you love priceless even at minimum wage
It has been said that if you find something to do that you love, you will never have to work a day as long as you live, and I believe that with all my heart.

Someone said that I seemed a bit prejudiced in favor on online business, but let me you that is simply not the case at all. My favorite business of all was actually my brick and mortar used bookstore. It probably never paid me much more than minimum wage considering the hours I put in, and sometimes not even that much, but it was the absolute perfect business for me...at least until the Internet came along.
