Lesson #3: It Takes Guts to Get to Where You Want to Go
“We were just opportunistic,” said Hewlett. “We did anything to bring in a nickel. We made a bowling alley foul-line indicator, a clock drive for a telescope, a thing to make a urinal flush automatically, and a shock machine to make people lose weight.”

Richard Branson Virgin
Its name may raise some eyebrows, but there can be no doubt as to the tremendous success of the Richard Branson Virgin Group. Run as a cluster of separate and distinct companies that come together under the Virgin brand, this Group was first established by British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson.

Building a successful legacy one purposeful act at a time
In this article, Richard Monette expands on his popular article "The Success Formula". He uses the example of the Banff Centre - one of Canada's most well known and successful professional development hubs - 75th anniversary to present a clear recipe to building a successful legacy. Richard highlights the importance of broadening the spectrum of criteria organizations and individuals typically use to measure their success. More specifically, Richard explains how to go beyond the concrete, easily measurable and tangible results and account for the intangible, fleeting outcomes behind those numbers. Richard concludes that defining the fulfillment variable in the Success Formula is not a license to avoid the hard work required to deliver results.

Why Do So Many Business People Ignore The 80-20 Rule?
I was discussing Richard Koch's book "The 80/20 Principle: The Secret of Achieving More with Less!" with a client yesterday and it became apparent that lots of business people are either not aware of this concept, or do not know how to relate it to their business. Richard says that 80% of our results come from 20% of our activities. This can be seen to be true in just about any business I have had any involvement with as an Accountant and is something I continually tell people to look out for.

Obama Tell The Nation's Students
On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 in a speech reminiscent of the challenges of entrepreneurship, president Obama admonished the young minds to never give up. Once again, president Obama has used his oratorical skill in finally quenched the fire that encapsulate his planned speech to the nation's student and stirred us all to challenge obstacles and actualize our goals. Obama told the students "Take responsibility and refuse to let failure define you"... The president affirmed "If you quit, you are not just quitting on yourself, you are quitting on your country".

Tiger Feeding Frenzy Reminds Me Of Nixon Quote
As I watched the panoply of media descending on the Tiger Woods story like a Saharan dust storm I was immediately reminded of a quote in which Richard Nixon standing before a picture of John F. Kennedy lamented, "when people look at you they see what they want to be . . . when they look at me they see what they are."

Who Says There Are No Jobs?
Despite record levels of unemployment, we all know, of course, that our president is on the case. He's the Jobs President... if you don't believe it, just ask him, or any of his sycophantic Demediacrats! But only those who are sufficient Biblical scholars to have heard of Job (with a capital "J") understand that it's really a case of mispronunciation of the vowel....
Blazing Our Own Improvement Path
A timeless principle of inside out leadership is continuous personal growth. When U.S. Supreme Court associate justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., was hospitalized at the age of 92, President Roosevelt went to visit him. He found Holmes reading a Greek Primer. "Why are you reading that?" the president asked. The great jurist replied, "Why, Mr. President, to improve my mind."
The Turkeys We Send To D.C.
You've heard the old joke, the one they tell every year at this time: "Know why they aren't having Thanksgiving in (Chicago)? They sent the turkey to Washington!"
