Lesson #1: Expect But Do Not Accept Your Regrets
“In many ways I guess if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have sold it,” says Joyce upon reflection of his 35 year career building one of the most successful businesses in Canadian history. “I would have stayed with it. But that is hindsight.”
Lesson #5: Turn Up the Volume to Tune out the Critics
BET might have gone on the air over twenty years ago, but it has no fewer critics today than it did when it first started. Indeed, throughout its lifetime, BET has been criticized from people all across the spectrum. From white conservatives to black liberals, BET had its enemies from all walks of life. But throughout it all, Johnson remained focused on his number one goal: to make his business profitable. Other than that, there was no criticism that could distract or deter him.

The Hot-Tempered Head Chef: The Early Years of Gordon Ramsay
He may be known in the UK for his Michelin star-rated restaurants, but Ramsay is better known the world over for being the confrontational and brash host on the television shows “Hell’s Kitchen,” and “Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares.” Those shows are just two of the business interests controlled by Gordon Ramsay Holdings, of which Ramsay owns a 69 percent stake valued at £55 million. A successful entrepreneur, Ramsay has come along way from his time as a boy who dreamed of nothing but football.

Leadership in Crisis
Top executive failure rates are estimated to be as high as seventy-five percent and rarely lower than thirty percent. A McKinsey study found that the pipeline for future leaders is broken. Only three percent of those responding to the survey felt their company developed leaders well. Why is this happening? Simply because leaders -- like the rest of us -- tend to judge their own performance significantly better than do those they work with.

What if Prioritising Was One of the Main Keys to Success?
I have discovered two things that many business owners tend to find rather challenging when running a business. These are... ...So… when it comes to your priorities, 20 percent of your time spent on the important ‘stuff’ will give you 80 percent of a return on that time... In the area of customers, it is vital to identify the 20 percent who account for 80 percent of your business...
Entrepreneurs Just Get Better With Age
According to recent studies 22 percent of men and 14 percent of women over 65 are self-employed. That's compared to just 7 percent for other age groups. According to a Vanderbilt University study the number of entrepreneurs age 45 to 64 will grow by 15 million by 2006.
The Costs of Ego
“Ego is the invisible line item on every company’s profit and loss statement.” Fifty-three percent of businesspeople estimate ego costs their company 6 to 15 percent of annual revenue; 21 percent say this cost ranges from 16 to 20 percent.

100% Commitment
Andrew Carnegie said, “The average person puts only 25 percent of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50 percent of their capacity and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100 percent.” We compete against our own potential every day.

Mobile Home Park Collection Tips
One of the most difficult and time consuming tasks of a mobile home park manager is in the collection of rents. It has been my experience that about 50 percent of your residents will never have a problem paying on time. Then about 25 percent may be late on occasion and are also not a major problem. It is the other 25 percent that will take most of your time and efforts.

The New Rules of What-If
If you own a computer or read the news, you’ve probably heard of the “two Steves” – Jobs and Wozniak, who founded Apple Computers in 1976. Far less likely is that you’ve heard of Ron Wayne. He designed the Apple logo and along with Steve Jobs and Wozniak, was one of the original founding partners in Apple. Afraid that their new startup computer company would fail, Ron sold back his 10% stake in Apple for $800, only 12 days after he got it. If he’d held onto that $800 stake, even as a silent partner, today he’d be worth around $22 billion.

Lesson #2: “If you look to lead, invest at least 40 percent of your time managing yourself”
“Here is the very heart and soul of the matter: If you look to lead, invest at least 40 percent of your time managing yourself – your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct,” said Hock. “Invest at least 30 percent managing those with authority over you, and 15 percent managing your peers. Use the remainder to induce those you ‘work for’ to understand and practice the theory.”
New 80/20 Equation
Most people have heard of the "80/20 Rule." It usually refers to an inefficiency in business or in life. For example, when 80 percent of your customers produce only 20 percent of your profit or 20 percent of your students are causing 80 percent of the problems.
