Homeless But Not Hopeless: Millionaire Chris Gardner’s Early Years
| |
| Chris Gardner wears a $10,000 watch on each wrist. On the right hand is a Cartier set to Chicago time, and on the left is a Roger Dubuis set to South African time. “I was late once and it cost me $50,000,” explains Gardner. “I figure it was cheaper to wear two watches.” For a man who not too long ago had only two suits to his name and could not even afford to pay rent, Gardner has come a long way. From living on the streets and bathing in public restrooms to owning a successful multi-million dollar stock brokerage firm, Gardner is living out the American dream. |

INTUITION An entrepreneurs biggest asset
| |
| I don’t know how many times I have heard Roger Hamilton the chairman of XL say “Why is it that some people find themselves flying for 4 hours to another country just because they know they should be there?” The answer is intuition. We have all heard of the female ‘6th sense’. This is the energy that all successful entrepreneurs use to decide when something is right or wrong. Whether you call it ‘gut feel’, ‘karma’, ‘spirit’ or just plain old luck, we all have it to varying degrees. |

Dreaming is fun, isn’t it? Part 3
| |
| Someone once said that what the mind can see, the body can achieve. I believe it. I go a step further. I believe that the mind must see it before the body is able to work for it. Look at another realm of human endeavor: sports. When Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile, he saw it long before he did it. Over and over in his mind, he later recalled, he visualized doing what had been deemed to be impossible. Interestingly enough, once Bannister did what no one else had ever done before, others quickly succeeded in doing it. |
