And how often do you help them fulfill their dreams?
In terms of creating a legacy, these might be the most important measurements of all.
What's the Point...
if doing what you're doing isn't worth talking about, doesn't inspire anyone...doesn't leave a legacy? How sad if you're just trudging along, waiting for that lucky break.
So don't wait…
- Set the bar
- Tell someone about it
- And start moving down the path, bit by bit
At a minimum, your journey will be more interesting.
Dream Company
I’d probably call it Appelos...hybrid Apple and Zappos
It has nothing to do with computers or an internet store. It’s about their obsessions...
Apple- quality, innovation, design, spirit, growing the tribe
Zappos- employee care, employee dream fulfillment, customer engagement, pursuit of happiness
Obviously, both organizations have been very successful on every measure. But, they also both started at zero and went through serious dips before emerging into what we know today. The key takeaway is how they stuck to their core values and developed obsessions around them. They survived and made progress by ignoring popular trends and advice and simply (but not easily) doing flawless work. They executed their obsessions...and continue to do so.
Lesson...Write down your purpose, what you stand for. Develop obsessions and execute. There, that’s your business plan. Please go do something remarkable.
