I had the privilege of attending the GrowCo conference in Orlando, FL this past weekend which is put on by Inc. Magazine. We had the opportunity to hear from some fantastic speakers who have years of business experience. I took a lot of nuggets from these speakers and I want to share a few with you:
“The only thing that can stop someone from achieving greatness is yourself.” George Foreman, Boxer and Author of Knockout Entrepreneur
“Bet on relationships and people not on companies.” Jim McCann, Founder of 1-800-Flowers.com
“Have a company of meaning.” Michael Gerber, Author of the E-Myth Series
What are the constraints that stand in the way of your company growth? Business/Profit Model, Talent, or Processes? Jim Schleckser and Kirk Aubry of The CEO Project
The advantage of a small company is flexibility and the ability to change course quickly. Large corporations cannot do that. Jason Fried, President and Co-Founder of 37signals
These are just a few of the amazing nuggets that we heard at the conference. I learned a lot and am excited to implement them into my companies. If you attended GrowCo, please share the nuggets you took away.
