The June 5 issue of CBN is dedicated to entrepreneurs and their business philosophies, focusing especially on those under 40 who are accomplishing good things in their businesses while giving back to the community in a meaningful way.
To view the segment on these
We recognize that we should, in today’s world, be honoring those accomplished over 65 (especially because so many of them are working still every day), instead of under 40, but will leave that recognition for their long and glorious careers for another day.
In a recent issue of Entrepreneur magazine several young successful and adventuresome business people offered various bits of advice on succeeding:
Don’t Think Do….Jeff Curran, founder and CEO of Curran Catalog insists there is such a thing as over thinking a big decision. Sometimes you just have to get it done.
Let Your Customers Lead the Way…Anupy Singla of Indian as Apple Pie says if customers are saying they want certain things, it’s up to me to give them what they want.
No Simply Isn’t a Choice…Leo Rocco of GPago says it take an amazing amount of resolve and mental strength to continue doing what you’re doing and fight the self-doubt that inevitably creeps in.
Seek Fleeting Competitive Advantages…Mike Masnick of Floor 64 offers that by innovating and providing increasing benefits to your customers you no longer have to worry about competitors catching up, since you’re always leading.
Business Relationships Need Work, Too…Little Passports founders Amy Norman and Stella Ma have found that it’s important to be honest with each other and communicate.
Be Open to Anything…Brian and Colin Cooley of Wicket said they saw and opportunity, never knowing from day to day what that might, and just made it happen.
In CBN you will find 18 Central Oregon entrepreneurs who share their own business philosophies….everything from leading by example, emphasizing community service and values, building a great team that is passionate about your organization, working hard, maintaining honesty and painting a clear vision to cultivating strong relationships and attaining emotional, physical and relational health.
Good business stories worth reading.
