It is generally agreed upon that entrepreneurship is the engine that drives an economy upwards and is primarily responsible for its growth.

Entrepreneurs create jobs, bring better and more affordable products and services to the marketplace, resulting in greater societal health, overall wealth and a vastly improved standard of living. And, while we treasure the entrepreneur, one needs not start their own business in order to be one. One can be entrepreneurial within a company setting (often called “intrapreneurs”) and can lead from anywhere they happen to be positioned.

Bob Burg, coauthor of the international bestseller, The Go-Giver and a much sought-after speaker at sales and leadership conferences, is committed to inspiring the entrepreneurial spirit in us all. He shows that companies both large and small that conduct their businesses “The Go-Giver Way” are not only of much greater value to their customers; they are also significantly more functional, and profitable, as well.

• • Why you needn’t be an entrepreneur…to be entrepreneurial.

What hit home for me personally:

• This quote about being anxious: “Of course he seems relaxed. He is relaxed. Whoever said being anxious gets more accomplished?”

• There are 3 universal reasons for working. Survive, Save, and Serve. “Unfortunately, most people spend their entire lives focusing on the first. A smaller number focus on the second. But those rare few who are truly successful-not just financially, but genuinely successful in all aspects of their lives-keep their focus squarely on the third.”
