On The Eve Of Destruction
In October of 1962, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the youngest president of the United States, had to make a momentous, possibly tragic decision.
Whether to face down the Russians on the high seas at the palpable risk of igniting a nuclear war. If Kennedy made the wrong decision, much of the world might have gone up in a mushroom cloud of destruction.

Love Is Not A Four-Letter Word
It is, instead, a mystery. A magical fusion of chemistry and karma that appears before us. A tour de force that cannot be turned on and cannot be shut down at will.
It is grander, more powerful and captivating than anything else in life. Where it comes from and how it takes sublime command of us, we have no idea. And we never will. It arises, takes life in another dimension far beyond human comprehension and shifts the axis of the earth under our feet. READ MORE
The Curse Of The Dangerous Mind
Anyone who watched the film Rain Man knew, instinctively, that the idiot savant played by Dustin Hoffman was part genius, part crazo.
The line between intellectual and\or artistic genius and derangement can be a slender and precarious one. And when the genius veers off the deep end, the downfall can be tragic, operatic and absolutely amazing due to the fact that there is a dynamic at work here that humans cannot comprehend. A kind of weird algorithm that is embedded in a dimension beyond our grasp.
The Beauty Of Getting It Wrong
Nothing wonderful starts off perfectly.
In spite of all the planning and strategizing, you put a toe in the water or swan dive off a board and instantly you are in the game, bound to get it wrong before you get it right.
Naked On A Stage….Dressed In A Meeting
We talk a lot in business about the power of teamwork. Great companies are built, it is said, on the power of exceptional teams.
There is certainly truth to this but it obfuscates the fact that teams are composed of individuals. And unless an individual is strong, smart and innovative, his value to a team is minimal. People don’t get great because they are joined together in groups, they can only contribute excellence in a way that– in the best of circumstances– makes the group greater than the sum of its parts.

John Fitzgerald Reagan
I was just a kid when out of the corner of my eye I saw JFK standing on the steps of the Capitol, coatless and hatless on a frigid January afternoon, taking the oath of office as the 35th president of the United States.
In a flash, all of the dates and factoids about this place called America came together in an explosive epiphany that manifested itself in a burst of passionate patriotism. Somehow, with his natural gift of leadership, his God-given ability to make us aspire to greatness, I understood what had come before in the shaping of this exceptional land and what would be next as we set our sites on the moon.

–> Please Take This Short Survey <—
I announced last week that I am making a fundamental change in the way I interact with the thousands of people who follow me on TV, read my Entrepreneur.com articles, listen in to my ABC radio show, and read my business and marketing books. I’ve realized that I haven’t had the opportunity to work with many of you one-on-one and I want to change that. The Internet provides the means for us to engage together through video, blog posts, comments, teleseminars, and email so we can work on our businesses together and learn from each other in a community environment.
I’m going to share with you insight that I’ve gained over the years. I’ve put together a short 3 question survey for you to take that will provide me with the insight I need to begin to help you overcome the challenges and struggles you face with your business.
I’ll be in touch later this week with the results of this survey and my next “Business Dispatch” video.
We’ll Talk Soon,
Mark Stevens
CEO, MSCO
