“Fail Forward Fast” by Pia Lord
In today's fast moving world, we have to get on the track and start going. It would be great to have every piece of information that we ever dreamed of before making a decision. Sometimes that is not possible though. A philosophy of Fail Forward Fast gets us there by allowing a decision to be made, action to occur and then reflection immediately afterward. There is no downtime involved but staying the course, the right course.

Lesson #2: Prioritize Your Customer
“There is only one boss,” said Walton. “The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.”

Lesson #2: Develop a Customer-Focused Philosophy
“Let’s say you decide to buy a car – red, two-door,” says Dell. “All sold out – four months to get one – but a really convincing salesperson talks you into the blue, four-door and probably the rust-proofing too. The salesperson gets a nice commission, when she actually sold you a car you didn’t want. Then, the dealer sends a signal back to the factory that blue four-doors are selling really well – build some more!” Contrary to this, Dell’s philosophy is that, “We’ll listen, and we’ll respond…It’s about the customer. It’s that simple.”

Lesson #4: Never Stop Running Scared
“The secret I learned early on from my father was to run scared and never think I had it made,” said Watson Jr. “I never felt I was completely adequate to the job and always ran scared…The fundamental for our success was running scared. I've seen us go by companies whose chief executives used to make me shake in awe." One of the biggest keys to IBM’s success was Watson Jr.’s inability to sit still, to accept his success and ride it out. Instead, Watson Jr. always kept his eye on the future, always looked for improvement, for the next big opportunity and he refused to settle.

Lesson #5: Invest Your Best Capital in Your Customers
“Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business,” said Barnum. “Large stores, gilt signs, flaming advertisements, will all prove unavailing if you or your employees treat your patrons abruptly.” In growing the most successful circus in the U.S., Barnum came to learn that it was not enough just to get the sale. Instead, what was important was making sure that customer would come back time and time again. Barnum was a master promoter, but he knew there was no advertising as valuable as word of mouth recommendations.

Lesson #2: Dont Rush It
“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking,” said Ford and he followed this philosophy ardently for the near half century in which he was in business.

Lesson #5: Be Flexible Enough To Change With The Times
“The third underlying element of the FedEx culture, after the philosophy and the continuous improvement management system, has been the focus on change,” says Smith. “As time changed and markets changed and peoples’ expectations changed, we changed with them.”

Lesson #4: Never Underestimate the Power of Research
Ogilvy came from a background in research; in his early years he had worked for the world-renowned George Gallup Audience Research Institute, which he later called “the luckiest break of my life.” It was at Gallup that Ogilvy learned about research and its importance in advertising. In fact, research became so central to Ogilvy’s philosophy of creating advertising that when he opened his own agency in 1952, Ogilvy billed himself as Research Director.

Lesson #1: Sharpen but Never Stray From Your Vision
“Remain true to yourself and your philosophy,” Armani once said. “Changing in the face of adversity will in fact diminish your credibility with your customers.”

Lesson #3: Create Long-Term Value For Your Shareholders
Before Schwartz ever made a decision to acquire a company or not, he would always ask himself one question: what can this company become? Schwartz was not interested in making short-term profit. Instead, his number one goal centered around creating value for his shareholders. “Every decision Onex makes is made on the basis of creating long-term value,” says Schwartz. “Our philosophy is to operate like a forever owner of an asset.”

Canada’s Billionaire Businessman: How Schwartz Made Onex a Success
Schwartz is 66 years old this year but has no plans of slowing down. As Chairman and CEO of one of Canada’s most successful companies, Schwartz’s goals for the future remain the same as they have for the past quarter century: “More people. More transactions. Larger amounts of capital. Identical philosophy,” he says. How did this son of an auto-parts dealer become one of the Top Ten Wealth Creators in all of Canada?

Lesson #2: Let The Customers Tell You What They Want
Before MySpace came to be, there was Friendster, a somewhat similar social networking site. But what distinguished the two from each other were their philosophies towards their users. “They had no room for fakesters,” says Anderson. “If a dog or a city or an idea had a page, they would delete it. Could anything better have happened to us? People said, ‘I’m going to go to MySpace because I can do what I want there.’”

Finding Success in Stocks: Schwab Launches His Company
Schwab was ten years into his career when he decided to venture off onto his own and start his own company. He had a vision for a business that would shatter the investing world. Schwab wanted to break down the barriers to Wall Street and make it easier for the average American to invest. How could he do that? Schwab had figured out how to lower the fees for buying and selling stock.

Lesson #5: “Get yourself a comfortable living, then do a little something to change the world”
In 1997, Microsoft approached Newmark with a proposal to start running banner ads on his site. Microsoft had recognized the growing popularity – and even greater potential – of Craigslist and wanted to get a piece of the action. But, like all of the venture capitalists that Newmark had already turned down, so too did he reject Microsoft’s offer.

How Guerrillas Economize
When guerrilla marketers think of economizing, they don’t necessarily think of trying to save money. What they do think of is getting the absolute most from any money they’ve invested in marketing. They realize there are two kinds of marketing -- expensive and inexpensive -- and they know that expensive marketing is the kind that doesn’t cover the investment they’ve made in it, while inexpensive marketing pays rich rewards for their investment. Guerrillas have the insight to know that economizing has nothing to do with cost; it has everything to do with results.

The Next Hill To Climb
I recently received an interesting letter from one of our subscribers, quite complimentary. He pointed out that he particularly enjoyed one week's edition of the newsletter having to do with success. Then he elaborated on the fact that he has achieved so many things--God has been really good to him--and his question was, "I guess it's like winning the World Series or the Super Bowl. After you have done that, there simply isn't a Universe Series or a Galaxy Bowl to win. When you are on top, how do you find a bigger hill to climb? Or do you?"

The art of being, doing, and having
One of my favorite phrases is, "You've got to be before you can do and do before you can have." In short, you have to be a person of character and do the right things, and then you can have the things you really want. To make the "be, do have" theory valid, look at some examples in your own life.

The Lazarus Philosophy: The Danger of Expectations and The Beauty of Duty

Problems
Got A Problem? Find A Problem! Many years ago Dr. Karl Meninger of the world-famed Meninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas, was asked the question: "What would you do if you feared that a nervous breakdown was coming on?"

Your Reputation...One Day at a Time
It used to be that a small team of people were responsible for the organization's reputation management efforts/activities. OMG those days are gone and they're never coming back. Today reputation management is a 24x7 job that is the responsibility of everyone on the team. Sure management sets the tone/direction but someone (even outside the organization who doesn't know squat) can bruise/tarnish the organization's reputation with inuendos, half-truths or lies. If you think the current wave of cyberbullies is a passing fad, think again. Those types of people are here to stay. All you can do is focus on doing your best.

A Philosophy To Live By
Wisdom goes back a long way and comes in the form of examples, illustrations, stories, cliches, parables, etc. One of the oldest bits of philosophy says that “for want of a nail a shoe was lost, for want of a shoe a horse was lost, for want of a horse a rider was lost, for want of a rider a leader was lost, for want of a leader a battle was lost, for want of a victory a war was lost, for want of a plan a nation was lost.”

Lesson #3: “There is something healthy about friendly competition”
“There’s a lot we can learn from smart people out in the world,” says Stone. “One of the things I like so much about President Obama is his global vision that it’s not a zero-sum game, where one country is going to win the game of earth. We have to work together.”

Most if not all systems will not tell you the biggest obstacle that you will face in building an online home based business. I want to let you in on that secret in this article.

Talking to Your Kids about Difficult Financial Times
Pick up a newspaper or click to the news reports - or just take a look at your bank statement - and it's evident that finances are tough these days. The crunch has affected many major companies, small businesses, banking institutions, manufacturers and individual households. And if you're feeling the pressure, you can be sure your children are feeling it, too. As a parent, one of your primary roles is to educate your children about how to live in the real world, and money management and problems are about as "real" as it gets. Here are some principles to consider as you enter into this vital discussion with your family.

Leadership Strategies - The Bigger Game Competencies from A to Z
For athletes to get to higher levels of achievement, they have to raise the bar to advanced self-awareness. They do this by accessing their potential, which they put into action through training. It is progression from where the athlete comes to the game with her/his existing competencies and then enrolls in coaching and training to expand to her/his bigger game possibilities.

80/20 Principle in Entrepreneurship
To work effectively and profitably in business our 20% input of work should yield 80% output. 1. Where is the 20% input in your daily work either at home or in business that returns 80% rewards? 2. What has to happen in your business to pay attention and focus on that best 80% return? We should act on what inspires us. Sometimes unknown to ourselves, there is a power in us greater than our resistance. Because of this we should feed our inspiration and starve our resistance. Do not rob the world of what you have to share.

But right now, I'm struggling with how to live by that philosophy and also run a business in the best way.

Top time management tips for busy entrepreneurs
I don’t think I’ve ever met a business owner who wasn’t busy. Managing your time is one of the hardest things you’ll need to do as an entrepreneur. There’s always too much to do, so you’ll need to manage your time well in order to get everything done. Here are my top time management tips:

Coaching with a Solutions Focus
In most coaching situations, identifying and analysing a problem becomes the precursor for action planning and subsequent change. Breaking from this traditional mould, ‘solutions focused coaching’ emphasises the solution rather than the problem, the future rather than the past and a positive focus on what is ‘going well’ rather than the negative approach of what is ‘not working’.

How to Deliver Your Sales Message

Zig Ziglar: The Art of Being, Doing and Having
One of my favorite phrases is, "You've got to be before you can do and do before you can have." In short, you have to be a person of character and do the right things, and then you can have the things you really want. To make the "be, do have" theory valid, look at some examples in your own life.

Reality Check
Are you one of those people who has been listening to me and others, like Robert Kiyosaki, about generating passive income and investing for a lifetime of prosperity? Maybe you've been wanting to find the "thing" or deal that will bring you retirement now. Or maybe you're just downright sick of having barely enough cash flow and find yourself saying you'll do or buy something once you get more money.

Seeing Perfection without Judgment
Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them. Leo Tolstoy Do we hold a vision of perfection in our life? Taking in an exquisite sunset, gazing at the ocean waves, smelling pine trees in a forest, gives us a feeling or sense of perfection and beauty. We can experience perfection when we watch a child laugh and play, or as we complete an exciting project we worked on. Yet there are many times when perfection seems like a far off dream; something we can't quite grasp. We become caught up in the struggle of a situation, or frustrated because someone else doesn't seem to live up to our expectations. We may criticize our self because we are not attractive enough, funny enough, bright enough, or as resourceful as we think we should be.

Are Small Capital Grants Worthwhile?
The MicroStart approach is to make small grants available to participating MFIs. These grants can be used to cover operating losses or to capitalize loan funds. SUM staff wanted these grants to be a way to funnel small doses of funds in a way that would not overwhelm a small and young MFI’s capacity to absorb them. Each grant has a ceiling of $150,000 and is used for either covering operating losses and/or for loan capital.

Beauty Keeps You Young
The more beauty you have in your life on purpose, the happier you are likely to be. Surround yourself with beautiful people, things, gardens, pets, food. It is important.

You can be comfortable and beautiful. Comfortable doesn't need to mean sloppy!

A Revenue Positive Business Model in Public Sector Purchasing (Part 1)
The core “philosophy” behind the New Public Management or “NPM” concept (which has been part of the government lexicon since the 1980s), is the belief that a “market orientation in the public sector will lead to greater cost-efficiency for governments, without having negative side effects on other objectives and considerations.” While there may be merit in the NPM vision, in reality its practical implementation has for the most part been sidetracked into an imitate versus innovate approach. Specifically, the philosophy has been reduced to one of using the same technological platforms and methodologies in the public sector as the ones used in the private sector.

How to eliminate Poverty – Lesson from the Parable of the Talents
In the bible, Jesus talks about the parable of the talents, wherein the person who multiplied his portion of the money was given more and the one who hoarded it lost even that.
