T. Boone Pickens, The Big Dog

Yes my puppy is growing and growing......well only about a pound, after all he's a minature schnauzer and only gets to be about 8 pounds. I have been able to cut down the number of late night walking. Mr. Pickens has now been trained to the point that I can open the door, he runs out and does his business, and he runs back into the house. GREAT! Particularly when its 15 degrees outside. In a few short weeks that little ball of fur has developed independence and a distinct personality, and accidents have grown few and far between. SO WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR BUSINESS? In a word, consistency. Consistent modification and improvement made to your organization will yield the business you dreamed of when you started. It then becomes a thoroughly organized and systematized animal that requires less monitoring to ensure profitable operation, but more importantly more allows for more time to create new opportunities. THAT'S RIGHT, once you have raised that puppy its time for a new one. But even if you are not ready for that next venture or next extension of your business, do what I do with T. Boone and give your business a bigger bone once its chewed through the first one. Continue to challenge yourself and your organization to get better, and in no time that puppy will mature into a guard dog...............of your success that is.
