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.
