Branford,
Connecticut: Becoming a world-class builder does not happen overnight.
And as one does become the best in their industry, often there is an arrogance or
aloofness that comes with it.
Not here and not in this episode of the show with
Eric Rose. He failed once, went to work for big business and learned his lessons. Today, he continues to learn how to balance his understanding of his gifts and talents
with an openness to learn even more.
Take a person like
Donald Trump. He is so sure of his gifts and talents, he has become a bully.
Yet, just watch and wait; he will have his comeuppance.
Truly successful
business people turn people power in postive actions to overachive and to do
more than is required.
The formula for
business and personal success (also a formula of life) reflects an ever deeper sense of right and wrong. We are all inherently challenged to live each moment in a way that effectively increases continuity, increases symmetry, and creates special moments of harmony. We
create order; we build relations; and we make the space around us ever so much
more dynamic.
And in this episode, Eric's work and that of
his many teams demonstrate that they are in tocuh with these essentials of life.
The more successful
a business owner becomes, the more likely it is you will hear them say, "The
single most important factor in this business is the people." People do make
the business. People give a business its
staying
power.
Everyone needs a
real exit strategy and a way to harvest our equity, particularly those
intangibles that were inherent within the founding.
GO FURTHER: We start our business with a
"big idea" but we sustain our business with key ideas. There are links (just
above in the green box) to the ten key ideas from this episode of the show.
Because these case study materials are now published as part of over 40 leading
college textbooks in business schools, these materials are being used daily in
virtually every college and university throughout the country. So, please,
spend some time with the case study guide and each of
the related transcript segments.

drop
us a note and we will get it on your local government station for economic
development. You can also check the rebroadcast of PBS-member station signals

REVIEW THE EPISODE ENTITLED, STAYING
POWER. You see may places on this website where it reads, "Creating
something of value makes a life worth living. When it's sustainable, it's a
legacy." Over 70% of all businesses fail in their first year; and then whatever
remains standing after 20-to-30 years, over 70% fail to transition to new
ownership and leadership. Understanding people and understanding equity and
liquidity are keys to
staying power.
