Just spoke with a pilot here at the Memphis Airport. Couldn't help but notice he was reading Michael Gerber's "E-Myth Revisited". Seems he's starting up a photo studio business and I encouraged him to follow Gerber's advice - just as Orrin Woodward, co-author of "Leading the Consumer Rebellion", has done in setting up the business system known as Team.
I mentioned to Tony (the pilot)that in his original book, "The E Myth" on pages 60 and 61, Gerber says a good business never depends on the efforts of extraordinary individuals. Rather, the person or persons setting up the business will develop systems that if followed, will give ordinary people a way to achieve extraordinary results.
Tony commented, "Sounds like you have this stuff memorized!" Well, I do. It's just that I've watched as Orrin did exactly what Gerber suggested as he set up the Team business systems. That's why I've never been more excited about what we're doing! The Team has the best, not just good, the best Products, business building Processes and leadership development Program I have ever seen in all my years of business consulting.
Anyway, I encouraged my pilot friend and wished him well in his venture. Of course I left the door open for him, in case he ever would want to engage in the finest business he could ever find - the Team powered by the vision of Orrin Woodward.
