A Little Extra Effort
I wonder about the many things we could do if we didn’t know that we couldn’t do them. Many people never make a serious effort to achieve worthwhile objectives because they assume they can’t reach them.

How Can You Determine If A Franchise Will Work in Your Area?
Before New York Broadway producers bring a production on the road, they’ll test it in a few smaller cities to see if the humor or pathos translates well to different audiences. After all, not every town sees life in the same way as New Yorkers. A similar comparison could be made with franchised businesses. A concept that does extremely well in one location may not have the same appeal in a different part of the country. Let’s imagine you live in Raleigh. While visiting friends in Scottsdale you discover they are franchisees of a business that provides landscaping to residential clients. They are doing very well and love the business. As soon as you get home, you research the concept and decide it is just what you’ve been looking for. But will this business do well in your area? The answer will depend on many factors.
Revving its Engines: Harley-Davidson Goes Hog Wild
After the success of their first three models of motorbikes, Harley and the Davidson boys all plunged themselves wholeheartedly into the newly formed company. Walter Davidson became the company’s first president, while his brother William handled much of the human resources, and Arthur handled sales and the establishment of a dealer network. William Harley served as the company’s chief engineer and treasurer. Together, the four worked day and night to get their business off the ground and running. “We worked every day, Sunday included, until at least ten o’clock at night,” recalled Walter Davidson. “I remember it was an event when we quit work on Christmas night at eight o’clock to attend a family reunion.”

Lesson #3: Develop A Habit Of Hard Work That Works
When Walter Davidson first heard about the attempts of his younger brother and his friend to build a motorcycle, he was intrigued with the possibilities. After helping the two youngsters assemble the parts they had fashioned, Davidson knew there was wealth of opportunities that lay ahead. He immediately quit his railroad job and moved back to Milwaukee, finding work as a machinist, in order to help build the business. However, in its early days, the Harley-Davidson Motor Co. did not have enough funds to pay the four founders. So dedicated was Davidson to the new company, that he continued to work as a machinist during the day, while assembling the motorcycles at night. This dedication and hard work was a trend that would become ingrained in the corporate culture of Harley-Davidson.

Cheeky Rebelliousness
Walter Isaacson, on Albert Einstein, from his new book, Einstein: His Life and Universe: "His slow development was combined with a cheeky rebelliousness toward authority, which led one schoolmaster to send him packing and another to declare that he would never amount to much."
The Rise Of The Corporate Mercenary
It is said that the term “freelance” originated – as did an amazing number of other things – with the novelist Sir Walter Scott, who first used it in his novel Ivanhoe.
Socially Branded Journalism: Crossing the Generational Divide
On February 27th, 1968 Walter Cronkite closed his broadcast by introducing “an analysis that must be speculative, personal, [and] subjective.” He was of course talking about the Vietnam War, and in particular the Tet offensive. While those of us who have not yet cracked the half century mark in terms of years on this planet may have only a general awareness of what history has told us was a “police action” that could not be won, Cronkite’s words created a ripple effect that unknowingly and ironically has come to symbolize our fast paced, 7/24 instant access social media world.
Deepening Our Discipline
During the 1960s, psychologist Walter Mischel conducted "the marshmallow test" with four-year-olds in the preschool at Stanford University to assess each preschooler's ability to delay gratification. Each four-year-old was given one marshmallow. They were told that they could eat it immediately or, if they waited until the researcher returned in twenty minutes, they could have two marshmallows.
