With Them One of the things I wish I had understood better in the early years of my company is how important it is to know what your goal is. It's vital to make sure that all the things you're doing in the company reflect your personal goals or the purpose of the company. It took me a long time to understand this, and I wish I had understood it earlier, because it would have saved me a lot of mistakes.
Entrepreneurs fall in many categories in terms of goals.
Some people want quick profits. Other goals are cash flow and personal income. Some people are interested in running their company for a long time to produce a good standard of living for themselves. Others are looking to build something, grow it, sell it, and move on to the next thing. Other people are interested in building the next Hewlett-Packard or the next Microsoft.
