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.” |

A Funny Sales Training Story
| |
| Then the fun began… After the first night with his 15 people William came back and reported no sales. Nothing new there for William. It only gets funnier. At work the next day only 11 of his people showed up for work and I questioned William who proceeded to inform me that he was weeding the garden and he was just keeping the best people. Well that night he came back with his crew and again there were NO sales. Again no surprise.

Business Book of the Year?
| |
| The FT has out its "long list" of nominees for the FT/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year. The picks aren't too surprising (despite being forced to leave out the FT's own Gillian Tett's excellent Fool's Gold), with a cross-section of financial crises and management self-help books, leavened by one peak-oil text and a few internationalization works. |

William Harley
| |
| Of all the truly remarkable small business success stories, the story of William Harley is one that inspires and moves people to action.
Born in Milwaukee, WI in 1880, William S. Harley became lifelong friends with his neighbor Arthur Davidson. The product of their friendship would impact several generations, inspire a strong subculture and in some ways a nation: the Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
In 1901 William drew up plans for what he called a "bicycle motor." In essence this was a small motor meant to be attached to a bicycle and propel it. No motors really existed at the time so all parts for this motor were handmade at a friend's shop by Arthur and Bill Davidson. This is starting from the ground up on the level of extreme.
