Is your business on a shaky foundation? Or is your business filled with the right people working in the right roles operating under core values that drive business during good and bad economic times?
Hopefully you’re not driven by $ signs. Otherwise, if you’re just in it for the money, your business may be built like a house made of straw, ready to fall at the first sign of a troubling wind.
“America needs to be a lot more like the Waltons and a lot less like the Simpsons.”
George H. W. Bush, 41st President of the United States (1989-1993)
Great quote; excellent insight and analogy.
