What is the very?
-
Let's say critical.
-
element if somebody want to step into this journey
-
and do we all need to
-
Get on this journey.
-
Ah, that's a good question
-
I think that um a successful.
-
business which is a system which creates value for customers and jobs for
-
people um
-
it should be grounded in authentic demand and
-
it's the people working in the business have many roles.
-
And there's a difference between working in the business and working on it and entrepreneurs need to work.
-
Need to move towards working on the business.
-
directing and guiding and leading
-
but in the beginning they're going to be in it and on it.
-
They're going to be
-
in the kitchen, so to speak cleaning up and doing work and
-
but eventually if they want to grow and scale and create more jobs and more.
-
Growth in their company than they would need to systematize and step back and create documented systems that can be repeatable.
-
But everyone can have an entrepreneurial mindset and my great-grandfather did this and his business he had this concept called blue sheets and you've heard of Blue Sky Thinking.
-
This is back in the 1920s.
-
He had every department and not too far away from any worker is a sheet of blue paper in a box.
-
And anyone can write down any idea for improving.
-
This Is 1920 this is before the Toyota way
-
Wow, which is a similar mindset.
-
And my grandfather collected the blue sheets and people read them all and any idea which they felt could be implemented to improve.
-
production or worker welfare or
-
anything would be implemented in that person would get credit.
-
They would get.
-
Awards
-
Financial Awards
-
recognition and so this was highly motivating and so everyone in the whole business was entrepreneurial.
