Sidney Frank who created his wealth marketing Jagermeister left $100 Million to Brown University 3 months before he passed away.
On Sunday, 49 students from low-income families who had received the Sidney E. Frank Scholarship graduated from Brown University in Rhode Island.
“Frank — who left Brown after one year in the late 1930s because he couldn’t afford to stay — gave the school a $100 million endowment in 2004. He stipulated that the fund’s income go exclusively to covering all tuition and expenses for the neediest of Brown’s admitted applicants.” – CNN.com
You have overcome your procrastination and started taken action – but where are your results?
I remember countless times where I would look back on all the time I had invested in something and see only minimal results!
Building profitable websites, enrolling a large organization of networkers, and increasing your sales takes some serious time and effort. As long as you stay the course and apply daily meaningful effort to your goals the results are inevitable.
Here is a great quote that has stayed in my mind over the years.
“The Story of the Stone Cutter” – by Jacob Riis
“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.â€

Last week I was on a webinar with Avinash Kaushik where he discussed – “5 Things Marketers Can Do Now” to increase revenue, reduce costs, improve customer loyalty and retention.
Avinash began the call with the following quote by Jan Carlzon:Â “You cannot improve one thing by 1,000 but you can improve 1,000 little things by 1%”
These are not just great words of wisdom for Internet Marketing, but for living one’s life!
Focus on making incremental improvements by focusing on several smaller easy wins rather than try to move a huge mountain.
Enjoy Avinash’s webinar and identify some opportunities to improve your metrics. You’ll learn a lot and he’ll have you cracking up too!
The best part had to have been his definition of Bounce Rate:
“I came. I puked. I Left!”

This weekend just may be your turning point just like Labor Day Weekend was for Pierre Omidyar. Over Labor Day weekend back in 1995 Pierre began writing code for what is now eBay.
“As the world wide web caught fire in the mid-1990s, a long-haired programmer named Pierre M. Omidyar fretted that big businesses would take over. “I wanted to give the power of the market back to individuals,” he said. So he spent Labor Day weekend in 1995 furiously coding a bare-bones site he called Auction Web. Omidyar, still working full-time at onetime Silicon Valley star General Magic, sought to create a perfect online market — one that would let real folks compete on a level playing field with the big boys.”
