[b]Here is a case study I diligently did about Huffington Post and as a blogger, an entrepreneur or someone who just needs to be motivated, you must read it word by word and let me hear your view after reading it!!

According to Wikipedia, “The Huffington Post is an American news website, content-aggregator and blog founded by Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer, Andrew Breitbart and Jonah Peretti, featuring columnists and various news sources”.

Furthermore, “The site offers news, blogs, and original content, and covers politics, business, entertainment, technology, popular media, life & style, culture, comedy, healthy living, women’s interest, and local news.”

I know you are not here to read the meaning of HP as you probably one time or the other might have heard about the blog (are you an ardent reader too?).

When Ana was about to launch HP with 3 other people in May 9, 2005, there were other top authoritative news blog online as well doing good but HP came with a different voice and tone entirely!

She was a successful writer and author before she taught about creating HP which now took her name to the lips of almost all Americans wanting to read political news online – even though she says HP is not a political blog, it reports more of politics and govt news.

Lessons Learnt From Arianna Huffington

1. Be Fearless

“Her first foray into the Internet was a website called Resignation.com, which called for the resignation of President Bill Clinton and was a rallying place for conservatives opposing Clinton” That was a quote picked from wikipedia and I doubt if i could give you something better than to summarize this message.

You see, for you to work your way to the top, you must be fearless. Make sure you believe in your intuitions and follow your mind. Do not let anything bother you a lot. There are lot of great ideas thrown away all because there might be trade mark problem and you will go to prison.

Arianna was a fearless lady who does not care what happens to her. She wants to speak her voice and let the whole world know whom she is and what she wants. She actually does this on her own with or without the backing of others and once she starts, others follows her.

2. Fail Fast

Whatever your bigger goals are in life, what are you willing to do achieve it? Are you willing to make sacrifices? Work when others are sleeping? Eat only ramen noodles? Breakup with a girlfriend/boyfriend who is holding you back?

For a better understanding of this, go read my friend, Benny Hsu’s post on this where he wrote about how famous people faced failures and still went ahead to succeed at: Famous People Who Found Success Despite Failures the best part I love there is the story of the 65 years old guy who built his business to Billions starting at 65![/b]
