Art of the Start, Part 1
I am studying The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki instead of just reading it and it is taking me much longer than usual to finish this book. I can HIGHLY recommend this book.
Let me give you a couple of teasers to get you interested. If you plan on starting anything you should think about creating meaning. Meaning is:
- Make the world a better place,
- Increase the quality of life,
- Right a terrible wrong, and
- Prevent the end of something good…
You should also create an internal mantra for your organization. A mantra is for your employees; it’s a guideline for what they do in their jobs. A tag line is for customers; it’s a promise of the service they can expect from you.For example: Starbucks’ mantra is: “Rewarding everyday moments”.I enjoyed the following quote from Oscar Wilde: “Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.”I say: Let’s gain some experience starting something and creating meaning!Additional info: This is also a good overview of Guy’s work @ About.com. How to change the world is Guy’s blog and his new company is Truemors.[amtap book:isbn=1591840562]
