Entrepreneurs: Its also about the family

September 22, 2009

NOTE: MY SITE IS NOW AT HTTP://BLOG.BRADGARLAND.NET, THANKS & PLEASE UPDATE!

In my recent post about the differences between the lifestyle and high growth entrepreneurs, we discussed what strategies are used to run both types of businesses.  Either way, however, those strategies have to be implemented by people and sometimes entrepreneurs take that point for granted.  Businesses are a support system of people employed (and not employed) by the company and are often bigger than we realize.  Normally I'd say that we have 15 employees in our organization but that's not everyone effected, see below:

15 employees

10 couples

12 children

All of these people are supporting or being supported from our business and that's something an entrepreneur can also be proud of. Many times we forget that fact.  Be thankful for the extended families that you have.

  1. The more and more you write Brad the more and more we connect. Both share the same thoughts and am so thankful for the kick ass team we have. Everyone here plays such an important role. Thinking of this team as an extended family is so important as everyone has different needs at different times. Being mindful of those needs and listening will help bring everyone closer together for the great good. I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to work with everyone here and so thankful for the talents they bring and share everyday.
