What good is building your dream if you keel over from a heart attack at 45 years old?

I really enjoyed all of what you had to share here, but I found that I paused and thought about: Point 1: So true. I'm not just a business person. I've been entrusted with leading 13 employees. How often do I actually step out my front door with that intention? Or with that awareness even? So important to think about and remind myself about. And to top that off: so important to be aware of where you want to lead those who work with you. I find it so easy to slip into 'hunkered down mode' where I'm just pushing through paper work or reports or email and I disconnect from the leading part. Good stuff! Point 2: I think I'll underline, highlight, and stick this point on my fridge and planner. What a great point man. I'm here to SOLVE problems, not create em. Or add friction to my clients life. Wow. That's so vital to setting yourself apart from the rest, isn't it? Point 6:That's so deep, but so true. Jim Collins in 'Good To Great' speaks about that level of leadership, doesn't he? Running a business is not about being a one man/woman rock show. It REALLY is (or should be) about building something of great value that can work with or without you. I love the concept of a steward. Sorta ups my idea/perception of what I do. (Again, so easy to get pulled down into the trenches that you forget the big picture work.) Point 7: AMEN! I loved that point. I think I'll also underline and highlight it and post it on my fridge. What an insight! I'm really enjoying your work guys. Thank you.   This is a great post!

In fact, it inspired me to come up with a list of things I've felt after a short year of entrepreneurship. Sort of a, "what I *think* I know." Thanks for the muse-iness. This is great, Greg.
