On getting money
You need to show them how you will convert cash into growth.
Good notes on coaching by being the mirror.
I don’t impose my own goals I. Them. What I do is repeat what they said they want to accomplish.
I’m teaching them to be accountable to the high expectations they set for themselves.
Good section on process improvement.
7 steps to compress time frames. Choose a process, list the steps, remove a step, minimize the steps, beta test the new process, adapt the process, refine.
Bezos…regret minimization-about projecting himself forward in time and then thinking about what, theoretically, he might regret not having done.
Are you putting too much weight on revenue and not enough on margin?
Come up with three formulas that will allow you to track your business. Ideally, these will become the first numbers you look at before you start each day.

Depending upon your focus, there is value in this book for more than those who wish to learn more about business strategy. As an “intrepreneur” (author Patrick Bet-David’s word for those who are not running their own business but working and thriving within someone else’s business), I found plenty of information that could be applied to my present situation.
For those who are looking for business strategies to adopt with their own business, this is an excellent book, especially if you have large growth goals. While he is passionate, Mr. Bet-David does not allow emotions to cloud his judgement; rather, he focuses on the facts, and presents those to his employees as self-motivators. This guide is not for the fainthearted. While there are great rewards for following the author’s guide, there is a cost (think family time, hobbies, etc.) and one would need to examine if this path would be worth the sacrifice.
Interesting book, well-written, and plenty of ideas for your own situation even if you don’t own or have aspirations to own your own business. Five stars.
