Key Variables for Your 2010 Success Formula
Heading into the New Year, I’m constantly thinking whether a success formula exists, and if so, are there any key variables that form that equation. My friend gave a wonderful gift for Christmas, which is a book called Three Feet from Gold by Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid. A century ago, Napoleon Hill began his research for his bestseller Think and Grow Rich, which contained principles of self-motivation, leadership, service and achievement.

Three Feet from Gold is a story about a young entrepreneur who faced adversity when his life seemed to fall apart. However, he rose to the occasion by following the principles taught by Napoleon Hill and ended up becoming very successful.

Made in Missouri: James Cash Penney is Born
“I would never have amounted to anything were it not for adversity,” J.C. Penney once said. “I was forced to come up the hard way.” From being born on a poor farm in Missouri to creating a company that today brings in sales in excess of $19 billion, Penney indeed managed to overcome the odds. Today, the J.C. Penney Company has become an international success for its sales of clothing, jewelry, shoes, accessories, and home furnishings.

Ray Kroc Biography
The biography of Ray Kroc is a story of firsts. He was one of the first fifteen year olds to serve as an ambulance driver with the Red Cross during the First World War after lying about his age.

When Is It Rational To Be Irrational

Franchising Continues To be a Safe Way to Go in Troubled Economy
There are various areas where franchising scores over stand-alone businesses. First is that there’s a system to follow and that makes getting loans easy for the new players in this field. What’s more, the support system of the franchisor ensures that the person who is starting a franchise doesn’t have to face any problem while running the business alone.
