1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,040
What is the very?

2
00:00:01,614 --> 00:00:06,130
Let's say critical element

3
00:00:06,130 --> 00:00:09,648
if somebody want to step into this journey

4
00:00:10,926 --> 00:00:16,161
And do we all need to get on this journey?

5
00:00:18,281 --> 00:00:20,094
That's a good question

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,126
I think that a successful business

7
00:00:27,966 --> 00:00:35,807
which is a system, which creates value for customers and jobs for people

8
00:00:38,549 --> 00:00:42,768
It should be grounded in authentic demand and

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,384
it's the people working in the business have many roles

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,298
And there's a difference between working in the business

11
00:00:51,298 --> 00:00:54,107
and working on it, and entrepreneurs need to work

12
00:00:54,611 --> 00:00:57,401
need to move towards working on the business

13
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,751
directing and guiding and leading

14
00:01:01,690 --> 00:01:04,552
but in the beginning they're going to be in it and on it.

15
00:01:04,552 --> 00:01:05,643
They're going to be

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,286
in the kitchen, so to speak cleaning up and doing work and

17
00:01:11,793 --> 00:01:17,805
But eventually if they want to grow and scale and create more jobs and more growth

18
00:01:17,805 --> 00:01:20,364
in their company then they would need to systematize

19
00:01:20,364 --> 00:01:25,000
and step back, and create documented systems that can be repeatable

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,624
But everyone can have an entrepreneurial mindset

21
00:01:30,624 --> 00:01:34,725
and my great-grandfather did this in his business

22
00:01:35,121 --> 00:01:40,485
He had this concept called blue sheets, and you've heard of Blue Sky Thinking.

23
00:01:41,354 --> 00:01:43,134
This is back in the 1920s

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,630
He had every department

25
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:52,559
and not too far away from any worker is a sheet of blue paper in a box

26
00:01:53,644 --> 00:01:57,373
And anyone can write down any idea for improving.

27
00:01:58,730 --> 00:02:02,696
This Is 1920, this is before the Toyota way

28
00:02:03,146 --> 00:02:05,996
Wow - which is a similar mindset

29
00:02:06,692 --> 00:02:09,562
And my grandfather collected the blue sheets

30
00:02:09,562 --> 00:02:15,689
and people read them all, and any idea which they felt could be implemented to improve

31
00:02:16,485 --> 00:02:18,831
production or worker welfare

32
00:02:18,831 --> 00:02:23,420
or anything would be implemented in that person would get credit.

33
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:25,304
They would get

34
00:02:26,733 --> 00:02:27,733
Awards

35
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,738
Financial awards

36
00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:33,070
Recognition and so this was highly motivating

37
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:36,578
and so everyone in the whole business was entrepreneurial
