commitment
i had my greatest lesson ever today.
business school is usually all about money. strategies to reduce cost and increase revenues, understanding the consumer to market to them better, managing your employees so you can get more value out of them.
today's lesson was completely different.
trip co-teaches the entrepreneurship class and he's got a wealth of entrepreneurial experience. in summing up the class, he gave us three key take-aways. when he got to the last one, he projected an image on the screen. it was a note from is oldest daughter (who was about 8):
dear trip, you said you would be dun at 4:30. love, isabel eloise nicol. ps: we ar sad.
i felt a tug on my heartstrings n my eyes welled up with tears.
despite all the entrepreneurial strategies you can learn, if you screw up your personal life, you basically screw it up all. sustainable commitment. that's the most important lesson of all.
