Week 9: Good to Great and Action

            When I read the book Good to Great by Jim Collins a year ago for another entrepreneur business class I had no idea how much it would be quoted and a personal impact upon my life. Ever since I read that book I have quoted from it multiple times a year in class, I have had in depth conversation about the six principle’s from the book and have used the book to be a bench mark of how I must live my life in regards to talents, I don’t want to be a fox!
            I have personally seen in my father’s business how not following the principles and teachings from Good to Great your hard worked business will fail or at least drain your life away. I am sadden that he has had multiple people come into his business to not only do their job, but steal from him and then quit or be fired. I know that if I was to have employees in my business I would ensure that I followed the principles in Good to Great, even when it would be hard to.

            Action, probably one of the most important aspect of being and entrepreneur. I feel that I have action but maybe not enough action in my life. I do a little bit of business each day, but I don’t feel that I am doing enough. I must increase my input/output of my “action” for my business to succeed; Doing only 30 minutes a day of research isn’t enough to get my airplane of the ground. What if the Wright Brothers only did 30 minutes a day? We probably wouldn’t be flying right now in the mass quantity we do.
