music business with talentless artists and made fame a characteristic
that can come irrespective of talent.

“I love my product,” said Lauder. “I
love to touch the creams, smell them, look at them, carry them with me.
A person has to love her harvest if she’s to expect others to love it.”

approach to its operations, getting her hands dirty in everything from
production to marketing to sales. She understood the importance of
hiring a good team, but her desire for perfection and quality drove her
to want to control all aspects of her company, at least until it got
too big for her to handle alone.

Luck is a dividend of sweat, said Kroc. The more you sweat, the luckier you get. Despite all his hard work, Kroc was not always a lucky man. From his early days in starting up McDonalds to even after the chain was a well-established global presence, Kroc experienced his fair share of failures. He was not immune to disappointment; what set Kroc apart from his competitors, however, was how he learned from his failures and bounced back.

again. Instead, Kroc strove to constantly improve his company and
retain his place at the forefront of the industry by taking advantage
of new opportunities. Even when there was big risk involved, Kroc stared the gamble in the face and rolled the dice.
