Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger is an Austrian American bodybuilder, actor, businessman, and politician, presently serving as the 38th Governor of the state of California. His branding techniques, determination and using the correct tools are a lesson in fusing all of this into a successful career.

Determination:
Schwarzenegger’s goal was to turn into the keenest bodybuilder in the world, which meant becoming Mr. Olympia. Schwarzenegger started weight-training at 15. He was presented the title of Mr. Universe at age 22 and advanced to win the Mr. Olympia contest a total of 7 times. Schwarzenegger continued as a prominent face in the bodybuilding sport long after his retirement, and has authored several books and a lot of articles on the sport.

Following his arrival as a Hollywood sensation, he made a number of successful films. Schwarzenegger advanced worldwide fame as a Hollywood action film icon, famous for his lead role in such films as Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator. He was dubbed the “Austrian Oak” and the “Styrian Oak” in his bodybuilding days, “Arnold Strong” and “Arnie” during his acting career, and as of late the “Governator”.

Branding:
Schwarzenegger has been a recorded Republican for numerous years. As an actor, his political thoughts were always well-known as they contrasted with those of many other big Hollywood stars, who are broadly considered to be a liberal and Democratic-leaning community.

As a Republican, he was first elected on October 7, 2003, in a particular recall election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis. Schwarzenegger was sworn in on November 17, 2003, to serve the balance of Davis’s term. Schwarzenegger was then re-elected on November 7, 2006, in California’s 2006 gubernatorial election, to swear out a full term as governor, defeating Democrat Phil Angelides, who was California State Treasurer at the time. Schwarzenegger was sworn in for a 2nd term on January 5, 2007. In May 2004 and 2007, he was named among the Time 100 people who help form the world.

Tools:
Recently, as just an interesting side note, it’s big news that the Schwarzenegger plane had to make a forced landing. A plane carrying Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made a forced landing at Van Nuys Airport today after the pilot reported smoke coming from the control panel in the cockpit.

The jet was about 10 minutes from Santa Monica Airport “when the pilot made a quick, steep, but safe landing at Van Nuys at 6:23 p.m.,” Schwarzenegger’s press secretary Aaron McLear said.

Los Angeles Fire Department crews met the jet on the runway.” Upon landing, the governor exited the jet and traveled to his house. “The NetJets crew did an outstanding job and everyone aboard landed safely and unharmed.”

On his Twitter page (because he knows how to use all the attention getting tools… he even posted a picture from the incident on TwitPic… the attention getting tool once again), Schwarzenegger wrote, “A little adventure just now when my plane made an emergency landing. All’s OK, though.”
