Growing from Good to Great can be galvanized by embracing your internal, skills, talents, abilities and resources and deciding to disseminate them for the betterment of mankind.
Jim Collins in his classic book, "Good to Great" highlights three major things one must do to join the Great.
Determine the answer to these questions:
1. What can you be the greatest at?
2. What Business activity can fund the mission?
3. What are you Passionate about?
I have put my own twist on the Big 3:
1. What can you Be the Best at?
2. What Business activity can cause your financial pockets to bulge?
3. What causes you to feel the best when you are engaged in Business?
The number 3 has the idea of advantage. Consider that NBA champions of the past and present consisted of three all-star players. In the 60"s it was Russell, Havlicek and Cousy. In the 70's it was Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor. The 80's was a showdown of 2 sets of 3's: Bird, McHale, Parish against Magic, Kareem and Worthy. The 90's it was Jordan, Pippen and Rodman. Now it is James, Bosh and Wade. The combining of 3 has produced some great results. I propose that when you combine what you can be the best at, that thing that causes the best feelings wihin you, and that which can best rewards you financially, you have yourself a Winner. Incorporate this threesome and watch yourself go from good to Great!
Let us all strive to Be Great!
