Essential Advice - Passion and Creativity


Essential Advice Passion and Creativity

The best piece of business advice I have ever received is if you are not passionate about doing whatever it is youre doingyou will fail! Ive relied on this counsel through the years and it has shaped the way I do business.

And the advice that I most often find myself dispensing to other employees or clients also derives from this general principal of passion. I advise others in business to spend almost all their time developing and growing relationships in support of their strategic business plan. If you spend time on relationships with customers, employees and vendors , then everything else seems to work itself out. You have to let people know how much you love what you do and how much you believe in it. However, make sure you truly do, because if you dont, it shows!

Its also extremely important to keep your edge with respect to managing your company and remaining profitable. We are smart peoplesmart enough to know that we have a lot to learn! We read many business books looking for what works and does not work. Creativity is the key. Who wants to create or do something someone else has already done?

Our company has an advisory board comprised of business leaders in the community who meet with us regularly to keep us sharp. They constantly challenge us and are a key asset in helping us to stay on top of the service industry. We selected them using three criteria:

  1. a. They must be a business owner or the managing partner in their firm,

  2. b. They must be well respected and connected in the community, and

  3. c. They must bring one area of expertise to the table critical to our business such as operations, finance, sales/marketing, or mergers/acquisitions.
