First Flying Over It!

There is an excerpt from the book, Entreleadership written by radio talk show host Dave Ramsey that left an impression on me as I read it. It probably had made such a significant impact that I do plan to do something about it.

I'm home bound for another day or so after the ice storm took Frisco and the rest of the Dallas metroplex at a stand still.

It said, "Most businesses never take the time to plough their fields by first, flying over it".

To preface over what he discussed earlier, Dave Ramsey talked about how businesses fail to take time to understand all the ingredients it needs to become successful.

1. Passion

2. Activity

3. Scarcity

4. Urgency

5. Momentum Theorum

Let alone, the time to study the overall business strategy to make a long term success.

Guess I will be doing that for the next few days... Time to pull out the old-fashioned yellow pad and start drawing flow charts and write notes!

Great timing for me - I'm having someone evaluate my business from a distance - someone impartial yet VERY judgemental!  As we grow our businesses, we have to monitor it from a variety of perspectives.  Sometimes it's just too much to do alone and an impartial pair of eyes is necessary!  That flight over my fields is crucial to getting to the next level!

Hi Loreena. I've been reading about the icy conditions in your area. I noticed some tragedies. Glad you are able to stay indoors and work on your business. It is a great opportunity to do it while you can.
