Foreword:  One of the dominant behavioral traits of history’s most successful Entrepreneurial CEOs is: tenacity. 

When you look it up in any dictionary you’ll soon discover that it’s typically defined with two-word combinations such as: persistent determination, stubborn perseverance and unrelenting doggedness.

Anytime a behavioral trait like that requires an adjective and a noun to be defined accurately, it’s something I enjoy looking into … and that’s why this month’s “Tenacity Spotlight” is on Walt Disney.

These are what I call your evergreen lifer articles. They’re lifers. They’re evergreen. They’re always going to be there. I have evergreen articles in two places.

1. It’s amazing to me when I get Google alerts for my name and some newspaper somewhere in the world has pulled off the wire an article I wrote in 1995 and used it in their newspaper. It just stuns me! That’s offline where these are evergreen.

Hosting two Tele-Clinics (Back-2-Back) can lead to long-term profits…

Story Behind Tele-Clinic #1: On July 7th, 2008 I purchased a URL www.NewAmazingSoftware.com which is a “forwarding” URL to track the opt-in conversion of a “squeeze” page for a free Teleseminar.

Tele-Clinic #1 is scheduled at 5pm Pacific (8pm Eastern) and it even has an online “step-by-step” tutorial you can experience now by visiting: www.SmartStartSitePreview.com

“The medium is the message” is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium imbeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived.

McLuhan proposed that media itself, not the content carried, should be the focus of the communication. 

Well, I don’t agree.  I think the Messenger is the Message.  You, as the content provider, are the Message. Check out what I mean here on this 5-minute video: www.HubAndSpokeVideo.com

You don’t have to agree with me, but I do want you to (more…)

“Never invent, always improve.”

This four-word sentence is indelibly etched in my mind right now. I also have that quote framed and hanging on the wall of my home office.

The marketing philosophy of choosing improvement over invention has generated millions of dollars for my info publishing business and my students’ businesses.

Here’s one example: Nikola Tesla invented the modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems. Thomas Edison improved it. Telsa died broke. Edison died a millionaire.

Here’s another: Charles Haanel is the true (more…)
