Mel,
In my next newsletter, I present
Wisdom from the Upper Echelons of Planet Perry
We surveyed Roundtable members and asked them: "What is your most important success learning curve right now?"
We got 12 short, pithy answers that get to the heart of what it means to be a real entrepreneur in the 21st Century.
Here's a long one from Mark Riffey...
I was asking the question that was avoiding the real question, which is what we talked about at the last Roundtable meeting which is, "Are you gonna buy the business? Are you just gonna position yourself for equity?" Bob asked me last night, "Are we're going to talk about you buying the business yet, or not?"
So I got up in front of the group and said, "Somebody is gonna call me on this because I'm just avoiding the real question."
I just got some good old "We're not going to listen to your crap anymore. We can see right through you. You're transparent. So give us these answers."
I don't get these questions from anybody else.
I don't have such conversations with anybody else, even though I hang out with business owners all the time. We don't have these conversations. It's just different.
I knew that there were people in the group who had been down this road before. And I don't want to make egregious mistakes. I needed some advice from people like that.
I want to be able to have good conversations with people who aren't gonna accept my BS for what it is and ask me hard questions.
Ask yourself, "Do I think that way? Do I really have that perspective? Do I want that for my business?" Do I seek out people who will not accept my BS?"
In Planet Perry we ask the tough questions. We have minimal tolerance for BS.
If that rubs you the wrong way, go find some poodles to hang out with.
We are wolverines.
Join the wild and free and seize the day.

Seize the day,
Perry
