The Unbridled Entrepreneur: The Early Years of Vera Wang
| |
| Fashion legend Vera Wang was born into an affluent family, but that did not prevent her from knowing failure. Her dreams of becoming an Olympic figure skater never managed to materialize. And, when she was rejected for a position as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue magazine, Wang thought she was all out of options. It was then that she decided to turn a personal dilemma into a business venture. Today, Wang is the Chairman, CEO, and owner of one of the most successful fashion houses in history. |

Mary Ellen Tribby and EarlyToRise.com’s Amazing Growth Spurt from 8 million to 27 million in one year
| |
| At the recent Strategic Profits seminar I attended in Florida I got introduced to Mary Ellen Tribby of EarlyToRise.com.
EarlyToRise is owned by Agora Publishing, which in Tribby’s words is an “Idea Company” and they focus on direct marketing.
I was totally blown away when they shared their metrics with me. They have a list of 300,000 people, and they make an average of $40 per person.
Their year-to-year growth is stunning. Take a peek:
* ‘04 - 3 million
* ‘05 - 5 milliom
* ‘06 - 8 million
* ‘07 - 27 million
* ‘08 - 36 million
Notice the huge spurt from ‘06 to ‘07?
After the event I had a chance to talk to Tribby and I asked her to explain the main “mind-shifts” or “strategic shifts” that lead to that stellar growth.
Here was her response |

Talk Shows Rule Daytime TV – Now Learn how To Book Yourself
| |
| Recently ABC announced that is was canceling its long-running soap operas All My Children and One Life to Live and replacing them with two new one-hour daytime talk shows, The Revolution and The Chew. These two shows are just some of the more current offerings to an already crowded daytime lineup which will also include such newcomers as Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric, Rosie O’Donnell and Fran Dresher. Add them to such returning old guards such as Dr. Phil, Ellen The Dr. Oz Show, The Gayle King Show, The Talk, The View, Rachel Ray and Martha Stewart and you have a pretty full day of talk. So, if you’re an expert in your field, or someone who has written a book or have a service or product that fits one of the shows’ target markets; get ready to start pitching. |
