Great story, great meaning

Filed Under: Leadership, Career Path, General Work, Work,
I got a pre-release/pre-published copy of this book a couple years ago, and thought "Meh, self-help isn't for me" but I had a long flight ahead of me and took an hour to read it. This book is amazing. I loved every word of it. I can't say how much I got out of it, as I tend to think in a very common-sense-like manner as it is (and much of this book seems like common sense) but the symbolism was wonderful (and I typically hate symbolism) and the diologue very user-friendly (so to speak). I highly recommend this book. I want give my copy to others who might get real help from it, but I love it so much, I don't want to let it go! I would suggest this book be used in any number of lesson plans for students, as well as in training opportunities for corporations. Something from this book will stick with whomever reads it. Bravo, Mr. Johnson!

Following this, the store grew to an emporium in 1870. Ten years later innovation at the company lead to the development of a durable fabric called garbardine. Toward the end of the 19th century, Burberry had become a publicly traded company and moved its location to 30 Haymarket St. in London. During the next 50 years the company would develop the Tielocken, a coat worn by English soldiers during the Boer War. Their products would also be used by Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole. Two royal warrants have been given to Burberry, one by Queen Elizabeth II and later by the Prince of Wales.<a href="http://http://www.famerbook.com/ef500bp1av-p-12.html/" title="ef 500bp"><strong>ef 500bp</strong></a> Currently, the company continues to maintain a strong following and international brand recognition.</P> <P><BR>Fossil was started in Texas in 1981 by entrepreneur Tom Kartsotis. After his older brother Kosta, a department store executive, mentioned how lucrative the merchandise importing business could be. A business importing moderately-prices watches, would be especially lucrative. On that advice Tom used his savings and the money he had from a ticket-selling business he owned with a friend and flew to Hong Kong. After making a deal with a manufacturer, he returned to Texas with 1,500 watches that were sold in Dallas boutiques and departments stores. Kartsotis brought on Lynne Stafford to be the Overseas Product Designer. Later his brother Kosta joined the company as well, which went public in 1993. Over time Fossil, Inc. branched out in other domestic and then international markets, including Switzerland.

Very classic in appearance, Burberry watches can be expensive. They can retail for about $300 USD and up, although occasionally they can be purchased for much less. This is much higher than Fossil watches, which can start lower than 75$ USD in price.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><BR>&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML>
