Decisions & Consequences
I recently finished reading The Road Less Stupid. In his book, Keith Cunningham offers advice, based on real-life experience, on how to avoid the dumb mistakes that sabotage growth, profits, and business success! The title is what made me buy the book because I feel I have traveled the STUPID ROAD more than anyone I know!
Here are some quotes from the book that you may find interesting, and possibly helpful:
- “Generalizations Kill Clarity.”
- “Governing by consensus always produces mediocrity.”
- “Ordinary Things, Consistently Done, Produce Extraordinary Results!”
- “We would all be better off if we had fewer goals and more standards.”
- “You get what you tolerate.”
- “Goal setters tend to fall in love with the goal instead of falling in love with the things that need to be done to accomplish the goal.”
- “What guardrails do I need to build to keep intruders including salesmen, irrelevant phone calls, random emails, etc. from sabotaging my day?”
- “The only constant in business is change.”
Sorry for highjacking one minute of your day, but I do hope some of these resonate with you as much as they did with me and that you got more than you invested.
