Bullet Proof Business in a Ballistic World

As a business person, do you ever feel like someone is shooting at you?

If so, you are not alone. It is not uncommon for people who are trying to take ground in the business arena to feel like they have become a target... of the local, state and federal governments... of competitors... and sometimes even from well meaning friends!

Bullet Proof Business in a Ballistic World is a compilation of business principles learned while doing business in the war zone in South Lebanon as President of Middle East Television in 1997-1998. Among my seventy-five employees on the payroll, thirty-three were Shiite Muslim Guards with A-K 47 assault rifles, pistols, grenades and guard dogs! My dress for work included a flak-jacket. My transportation was an armored car! The lessons I learned were priceless.

I believe this series will be a great encouragement to all business people. Keep your head down... and enjoy!

One Life Can Make A Difference

In a world that has become increasingly complicated and impersonal, it is easy to feel that each of our individual lives is relatively insignificant. But nothing could be further from the truth. Every life is unique! each of us is created with the potential to make this world a better place because of our presence in it?

The life of H.J. Heinz can inspire each of us to live a life that makes a difference. What makes his life so inspiring is his love for the common - the common place, the common man, today's common tasks and work. H.J. Heinz built an empire by doing common things uncommonly well! In the process, he left his mark in this world and left a legacy - a fortune - for generations to come. But his focus was never on his fortune. It never was about the ketchup!
