Lesson #5: Know When To Pull the Plug
| |
| “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible,” said Disney. He was a man who rarely turned down the chance to seize a new and exciting opportunity. Whether in his animations or his amusement parks, Disney has built his career upon creating unique and innovative experiences. Because he was constantly entering unknown territory, doing so inevitably required taking risks. Not all of his risks paid off. Like all other entrepreneurs, Disney needed to learn the lesson about when to commit to an idea and when to pull the plug. |

The Next Hill To Climb
| |
| I recently received an interesting letter from one of our subscribers, quite complimentary.

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.

Simplicity and Start-up Alchemy: An Interview with WordPress Creator, Matt Mullenweg
| |
| Shame on me.
I don’t know how to code. I should, but I need to get my Indonesian and Arabic fix before I can tackle Python and Ruby on Rails and Sugar-Coated Sugar Bombs.

The simple-to-use and open-source WordPress, or WP, is a favorite of diehard bloggers, and its 22-year old lead developer, Matt Mullenweg, is #16 on The 50 Most Important People on the Web list by PC World. Damn. That’s bad-ass. |

Lesson #1: Always be Selling
| |
| Sir Alan Sugar did not develop his marketing techniques by chance, he began noticing what people needed at an early age. In an interview with the Daily Mail in 2009, Sugar was quoted as saying, “I came from an environment where I had to succeed. Kids today are not as hungry as I was. They don't understand how tough my generation was.” |

Lesson #2: Negotiate to Make More Sales
| |
| Sir Alan Sugar had to learn how to negotiate from an early age. The skills came naturally to him when he was only 12-years-old and working in a bakery on Saturday mornings.

Lesson #4: Price Points Make You Money
| |
| Sir Alan Sugar developed an easy formula for the company he started in 1968, Amstrad. That formula would be called “price points.” It was so popular that several industries still use it today. This formula innovation would make Sugar say about himself, “I don't think too many people would want my job. I'm a bit of a Nutter.” |

Lesson #5: Gain Experience in Your Trade
| |
| “Entrepreneur is not a word to be used lightly, and it’s certainly not something you call yourself.

Sugar believes that people are born to be an entrepreneur or they are born to do something else. |
