WBW MIR: December 2009

Probably one of the most fun takes on EntrepBuff.com WBW MIR to date.

Discussion:

• It doesn’t mean you’re the COO – Child of the Owner, you gain instant respect from the organization. Respect and credibility is not handed down, but earned.
• One of the hardships of taking a family business to the next level is that you have other, more influential, opinions to contend with, of which conflicts may actually lead into your own home.
• Recent changes in work situations permit and even encourage people to be more of themselves, either with flexible work hours or place of work. So take advantage of these circumstances for you personal growth.
• Most people don’t want to take the risk, to change because they are uncertain of the outcome. So in these moments, remind yourself with these 3 words, “I’ll handle it.”
• “You miss 100% of the shots you do not take.” – Wayne Gretzky
• “The rule of law applies to all, otherwise none at all."
