Up a Notch

Entrepreneurship is within all of us to varying degrees. At an organizational level it is typically found in the executive team where the creative process takes place. Reaching that next level of success is hinged on the vision that the organization you are building, or helping to build, eventually takes on a life of its own and becomes self-sufficient. This type of organization is worth building, has value, is needed, and allows for balance and fulfillment in the life of an entrepreneur. This book was written for those who wish to take their own vision of entrepreneurship to the next level. In order to make the leap, entrepreneurs themselves must learn to get out of the way, get back in touch with "the why" they are doing what they are doing and reignite the vision and passion for their own life and the organization they wish to build. To accomplish this involves building a clear Strategy through preparation, planning and systems; Focus through care and disciplined action; Communication through leadership; Commitment through dedicated people; Time through patience and perseverance. Expanding your vision to what your company could be is a journey of enhanced self-awareness and leadership - a journey that you need not take alone. This book identifies the challenges that come with building a business, the thought processes that must change in order to reach working solutions, and the rewards that can be achieved even during the most challenging economic times.
