The Ultimate Bunny-Hop: The Rise of the Playboy Empire

| Hefner was now unemployed and had just $8,000 to create the magazine of his dreams. He used $75 to purchase the rights to the never-before published nude pictures of Marilyn Monroe, before she had become a star. Ignoring the legal risks, Hefner decided to feature the photos on the cover and in the centerfold of his first issue. Named Playboy after a sports car that was struggling to get into production at the time, Hefner was not optimistic about its success. “On the first issue we put out we left the date off [December 1953] so that, if it didn’t sell right away, it could stay on the news-stands until it did,” he recalls. |

Lesson #5: Be Ready to Fail
| |
| When Hefner was asked to describe his ultimate fantasy, he said simply, “I’m living it.” But, Hefner’s path to success has not been as smooth as it might appear.

Filled with everyone from actors, singers and wrestlers to models that are nearly naked save for the bunny ears atop their heads, the Hugh Hefner Birthday bash is an annual happening that tops the social calendars of the A-List and who’s who of Hollywood.

Stuck in Middle Management? Consider Franchise Ownership As An Alternative
| |
| It’s the fault of those Baby Boomers, really, or so statisticians are telling us. That great mass of people born between the years of 1946 and 1964 are now firmly ensconced in upper management positions in corporate America, and those underneath, say in their late 30s to mid 40s, are finding their own career advancement put on hold as the Boomers, like the Energizer Bunny, just keep going and going and going. |

I conducted a thorough examination of the bunny's carcass before properly disposing of it - by which I mean, I looked at it from a safe and comfortable distance.
