Think Your Way to The Top!
Think Your Way to The Top!
Recently, a television news show did a story about a software company in South Carolina where the owner understands that "my most important assets walk out the door every night (they go home), and my most important job is to be sure they all walk back in tomorrow morning." I love that!
He understood that while plants and equipment and brand recognition and marketing ALL play a critical role, in the end it's our people and how well they THINK that determines our long-term success. High achievers invest in themselves, their training, and in taking time to think clearly.
Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric, talked about the need for leaders to "out-think" the competition. Bill Gates takes time away to think, renew and reflect every quarter. So should you! You cannot lead if you do not maintain a clearer vision and a stronger sense of direction than your employees AND your competition! If you are lost in the swamp of daily crises, you will see neither the golden opportunities nor the fatal threats to your success.
You MUST "out-think", out-strategize and out-maneuver both your competition, and the thinking of the past. As we emerge from this economic slow-down, the next boom will NOT be led by the companies or the methods of the past.
Invest in your education, but just importantly, create opportunities to USE what you know in fresh and creative ways. Expand the boundaries and stretch the possibilities!

The longer I work around and with successful business owners and professionals, the more I see the distinction between those who understand the REAL source of wealth, and those who think merely in terms of sales and profits.
