What 20 Years of Entrepreneurship Has Taught Me

 

Clarity Fam,

I just crossed the line on my 20th year of being an entrepreneur. It is so strange to think about how different my life was back in early 2003. I was in my first year of marriage, we were renting a small place, and I had this crazy idea that I could start and run my own company with nothing more that a "Small Business for Dummies" book and a Quickbooks CD Rom. There was no YouTube or touch screen phones, or even Facebook!  It's true, I'm that old.

Today I talk about one of the biggest distinctions I've observed in running a company. That is the difference between the "organization" and the "business". How does one balance the people and the profit?

I started this train of thought in this LinkedIn post and go a little deeper on this episode.

Here's to another 20 years!

Pursue Clarity,

Paul
