Last post featured a quote from a brilliant book that, while published posthumously just several years ago, was written back in the late 1960’s by Harry Browne. The quote was, “Profit is a reward for satisfying the desire of someone else.” Though not the actual secret, it’s pretty powerful, in and of itself. The book…
Recently, on my Facebook page, I posted: “Profit is a reward for satisfying the desire of someone else.” ~ Harry Browne, The Secret of Selling Anything* Sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? And, it is.

Aside from what is learned directly from reading an article, I find they often trigger ideas that can be applied in other, more specific areas. Not very surprising when realizing success principles are success principles and transfer across the board. Such was the case when reading investment authority Steve Sjuggerud’s guest post recently in the…
First things first: The book, CONSCIOUS CAPITALISM: Liberating The Heroic Spirit Of Business is outstanding. As a case study on why companies that honor all of their stakeholders and not just their shareholders actually do much better financially than those who don’t, it’s terrific! As a look at how companies can create an enthusiastic and happy…
What really are the elements that lead toward and result in huge business success? Is it mainly – as we’re often told – about being different? Is it really the “WOW Factor” we hear so much about? Or, could it be that the winners constantly think “outside the box”? In a recent post with noted…

She asked, “Do you enjoy pain?” “Pain don’t hurt.” he replied. To which she responded, “Are you a freaking moron?!” Oh, wait, that’s what I shout…
