"We are all born originals - most of us die a copy" - Abraham Lincoln
Many consider Charlie Sheen a playboy, a genius, an addict, honest, an abuser, a top actor and in some circles, simply crazy. Perhaps all may true to varying degrees. But by any standard, Charlie Sheen is an original. And being such, he was the highest paid television actor (and seems that will continue...see below), he's sold out arenas...is the top story on every tabloid news channel...has the fastest growing twitter account in history (and commands 5K to simply reference a product in his tweets) and by no coincidence, rumor has it CBS wants to bring him back, with a raise!
Lessons learned:
1) Be an original. Copies can be replicated and as such are cheaper the more you make.
2) Be honest, regardless of the ramifications. You'll sleep better and be more respected.
3) Having the best product will always supersede having the best service. Think Soup Nazi!
4) The squeaky wheel gets the grease. These sayings were made up for a reason.
5) Any press is good press. See #4
6) Focus on "Winning". Based on the above, looks like he's right.
