A Man of Firsts: How Johnson Achieved Success
| |
| “Retirement is not in this company’s vocabulary,” Johnson once said. “If you are well and able to work, you can stay at the company and that’s what I plan to do.” And, that is exactly what he did. Right up until the time of his death, Johnson continued to play an active role in the company. Although he named his daughter, Linda Johnson Rice, CEO of the company, he remained the inspiration behind its every move. He rose from the despair of welfare to become named the Greatest Minority Entrepreneur in U.S. History by Baylor University in 2003. A true rags to riches story, how did Johnson achieve the American Dream? |

Rags to Riches…Anecdotally Speaking
| |
| I love listening to a good story...especially ones about entrepreneurs and their path to eventual success. The woman or man who turned nothing into something, who did it quickly, and without the help of others, AKA the "rags to riches" story.
I think there is a yearning in every entrepreneur who hears these stories to identify with the subject and imagine how it could happen to them. Like there is some magic formula to success, and if we could just do this one or two things...our business would take off, our work load would ease up and we would start living the good life we deserve.

telling stories the brand connection
| |
| Today, we're interested in stories, and not particularly interested in facts. Every story needs facts, of course, but they are secondary. The facts are there just to provide some ballast for the story. There are always so many facts that don't fit into the story, and insofar as they don't fit, depending on our commitment to the story, we have a tendency to disregard them. Every good story has some connection to the truth of our experience, but the story's the thing.

Diamonds In Your Backyard
| |
| This is a story about David.
David was a very ambitious and proud man, who was desperate to be very rich. To this end he traveled the globe, spending years away from home searching for a diamond mine. He knew that once he owned a diamond mine his dream of riches would come true.
Unfortunately David ended his days neither rich nor happy. After he died the local condominium developer bought David’s property and started to dig the foundation. And what did he find? He found that for all these years David was sitting right on top of a very large, very rich diamond mine. I tell this story to remind us to look first in our own back yards for the glittering opportunities.

The Most Important PR Secret
| |
| What most entrepreneurs and companies don't understand is that often the main job of the PR firm is to find the right story. It's often not the obvious story that works, because that's the same angle that the competition will be pitching. Without the right story and tone, you have a weak campaign, at best. Finding the right story, that's what it all comes down to. |

Abject Executive Poverty
| |
| If you, as an executive are not happy, then you might want to read my story of round trip rags to riches. I, as an executive, was not happy either with all that "stuff" that money could buy. There was an emptiness that expensive suits, business class travel, and four or five star hotels could not fill.
Yet, as an aftermath of Global Financial Crisis that cost my tiny company $180,000, I realized what real happiness was all about.

Horace A.W. Tabor, \"Silver King\" and Baby Doe Tabor
| |
| Horace Tabor is a true "rags-to-riches-to-rags" story of Colorado's Silver King of the late 1800s. Though it shows the pioneer spirit that made this country great, it also gives us lessons in persistence, dedication, devotion and determination to transcend all obstacles to reach a specific goal in life -- that ever-elusive "pot of gold (in this case 'silver') at the end of the rainbow. Because in March we celebrate St. Patrick's day, and the fact that Horace's wife, Baby Doe Tabor, is of Irish heritage, makes this a most fitting article for Mazon's March 2011 newsletter, Building Bridges. Please enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed researching it. |
