One of my favorite bios is by H.W. Brands about: President Andrew Jackson. i.e., Old Hickory There is a long list of lessons to learn about success and business by studying the life of this man who was so popular with his fans, two thousand of them once stormed the White House just to be around him after his inauguration. And the rooms were packed so tightly that day, they couldn't even leave except by going out windows. In fact, mobs of people lined up wherever he went, forcing him to sneak out back doors and other such maneuvers. Such was his popularity. One of these lessons of which is how raw Will Power moves mountains. I wonder if he might have been one of the strongest Willed men who ever lived. Take for example, the constant, excruciating physical pain he was in 24/7. This guy spent a lifetime engaging in all kinds of conflicts & fights â from his teenage years fighting redcoat soldiers (who butchered people in the most gruesome of ways) one-on-one during the Revolutionary War, to engaging in pistol duels with dozens of people, to leading militias, then the military, and then the nation itself as President. All of which took hair-raising tolls on his health, to say the least. Take the duels he was in. He got shot and injured at times. And, as a result, had severe lead poisoning much of his life. In fact, some samples of his hair were analyzed 100 years or so after his death, and his body had 20 times more lead in it than what is considered safe. And that lead poisoning kept him in perpetual agony. So much so: Soldiers watching him said he was often just 3 steps away from collapsing in the saddle. His abdomen was constantly on fire, violently vomiting out of the blue, and shaking and sweating, ready to pass out in the saddle on the way to battles. His temper flared out of control at the slightest thing causing him to blow up at people for little or no reason. And he was often nauseous, bedridden for sometimes weeks, and had written numerous letters about how this was it, he was done, going to retire, etc⦠only to be back leading another battle to victory over one enemy or another. He was just someone who refused to back down from a fight. Or, really, any kind of conflict. I donât think he could back down â as he completely thrived on it. Every time he was bedridden with yet another health problem, thinking he was going to retire (and this was before he was even President), heâd hear of another battle coming up, and suddenly his health and pain levels returned to a manageable level and heâd be off to the races. Itâs why they called him âOld Hickoryâ in the first place. He was not a large, imposing man by any means. He was tall & thin, and non imposing. Yet he controlled the minds and Will of other men and armies â including great men of war and politics â who observed his toughness made him like a hickory branch: Thin and bendable, but hard to break. i.e., the exact opposite of most people in business or anywhere else today. Whatever the case, there are many more lessons and insights in this book. Highly recommended. In other news: My second Villains book talks about Will Power. And, how to start building it far past anyone else you likely are to compete against in business. If this interests you, do this: 1. Go to the URL below 2.
