If the free enterprise market is left to its own process then opportunities will be created. Look for those and seize them. The 2020 election and social media platforms have created a huge opportunity for those willing to act.
How much information do you need to make a decision? How do you find the information? How do you process it? Do your results match expectations?
Your legacy is built while you are here and determined after you are gone. Be intentional.
It is called an Action Plan not an Option Plan. When direction is clear and expectations are communicated then people will move to action versus telling people what not to do but leaving tactics/strategy to interpretation. #cannonclay #nurserylessons #actions
Commitment, dedication, hard work, and doing what others will not do. This is the formula that I have seen work more than any other. A CEO doesn't decide what they will and won't address. They must be ready for everything. If you are "above" something today you will find your journey stunted.
Isn’t it crazy that sometimes we have to remove parts of our lives to reach our maximum potential. The process of growth is not usually welcome but the results are mostly favorable. Focus on the results of growth to make the process more enjoyable.
Sometimes we are so worried about the visible (how things look) that we disregard the invisible. The visible is easy to “dress up” but the invisible can sometimes be neglected. Get your soil right if you want to grow right.
Life deals us trials, tribulations, and celebrations. Those historical events produce wisdom and perseverance. Don’t discard or disregard these but instead use them to grow a better you. We need people but at the end of the day you make the choices.
Engaging consumers and providing a memorable experience should be at your brands core. We will briefly look at how Stuckey's and YOLO Board have done this and are doing this.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. Don’t allow cost or benefit to convince you otherwise. Your convictions are the basis of your intuition. If it feels wrong trust it is. Conviction is not learned from a lesson but built through a lifetime.
There are many ways to be successful. There are many methods to growing a business. All need fuel. Wanting to do something is different than doing it.
Do we help people for the recognition? We should follow the proverbial “do the right thing even when no one is looking.”
It is hard not to get political when this question is brought up. Over 70 years ago Joseph Schumpeter outlined his theory on the demise of capitalism. It is hard to comprehend that he reached his conclusions prior to 1950. Use his comments to review where you stand. Where your political party stands. America must protect its capitalistic roots.
Are you passionate about what you are doing? Are you trying to be something or somebody you are not? Define success in your own terms and then execute. If you follow your convictions your passion will be all the fuel you need.
