After 39 years of business, I'm still learning. I go through this every year -identifying new strategies that are extremely important.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've wanted to manage a long time and I've been moving in that direction.
I still work hard to know my business. I'm continuously looking for ways to improve all my companies, and I'm always selling. Always.
The thing that I learned early on is you really need to set goals in your life, both short-term and long-term, just like you do in business. Having that long-term goal will enable you to have a plan on how to achieve it.
I think I've changed my business strategy every year since 2003. You have to be watching the horizon constantly. The rug has been pulled out from under our feet so many times.
You're always learning on different avenues and this is an opportunity for me to start on a fresh plate and start learning some other things that can really help me, that I need, and I want, to progress forward.
I've been doing a lot of learning from mistakes, first and foremost, and building off that.
I look at building business as a creative process that I enjoy.
I've tended to work at fast-growing companies that improve the way business gets done.
For the last thirty years in my career I never know what I'm doing next.
I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go.
