The importance of finding your ideal clients
I've often talked about "feeding a starving crowd", a concept popularized by Gary Halbert. Back when he was teaching marketing classes, he would challenge his students by asking: “If you and I both owned a hamburger stand and we were in a contest to see who could sell...
Wise words from Peter Drucker
Management guru Peter Drucker once said: "What gets measured gets done” Rumour has it that the actually quote was "What gets measured gets managed” … Either way, the point is if you're measuring something then the chances of you acting on that information is a lot...

The “enchanted kettle”
I love the part in Think and Grow Rich about the “enchanted kettle”. A young drug clerk named Asa Candler spent his life savings ($500) buying an old-fashioned kettle, a wooden paddle, and a secret formula written on a slip of paper. 500 bucks might not seem like much...
