In Run Your Business Like a Fortune 100: 7 Principles for Boosting PROFITS, you will find over 60 case illustrations of intrepreneur and entrepreneur ‘learners.’
A prime example is Andree, the COO of Builders Square who learns what works best for her customers - and also, what works best with her management team. It was through trial and error that she found her solutions.

Melanie, too, of Environmental Inc. learns from several experiences while outsourcing some her supply chain functions. She finds that vendor management was an area she needs to learn more about. Over time, she learned that knowing the vendor company was as important than knowing her other customers.

Indeed, entrepreneurs are courageous, are not afraid to stand alone and also learn from others.

Thank you Hadji. How exciting for you!
Which of the PROFITS Principles and tools did you find most helpful?

For years I have been dreaming of opening up a chain of Dr. Hadji Special Medicine kiosks which sells medicine that I make up from all natural and organic ingredients.

After reading you excellent book, I now have the confidence to do so. As you say, it is now or never.

Thank you very much Dr. Lober for a wonderful book and such inspiration.

Sincerely, Rhumba Hadji, Ph.D.

Perhaps your statement that “we are not alone” is a global truth in the broad world of entrepreneurs, but clearly, being one often means standing by yourself, at times defiantly against those who say it can’t be done or it was tried before and it didn’t work, in an effort to make a dream a reality. In my opinion, the true entrepreneur is not one that never fails, but one who fails, learns and tries again. They don’t have a fear of failure, but a narrow-minded reluctance to not try.

I agree that large companies don’t always get it right either, and the amount of politics and approval layers can make them less than nimble, which is what creates the cracks that allow entrepreneurs to create and thrive.

I haven’t read your book, but like the concept of improving profits, when today most companies are thrilled to just break even.

I wish you luck with this endeavor.
