In today’s episode we’re throwing it back to one of Jim and Tyson’s top ten episodes: Burning the Boats. Jim and Tyson talk about the importance of being committed to your project. Hernán Cortés was a Spanish conqueror. He was trying to conquer Mexico with only 600 men, and when he got there and saw how huge the enemy was he realized that the only way they were going to do such thing was if his army knew that there was no way back, no turning back. So he burnt the boats. He is the first person to conquer Mexico. Commitment. Commit to your firm. Running and building your own law firm is hard, so if you’re going to be half in, in the long run you’ll do yourself and your client a disservice. If you are not committed to building a well oiled machine that functions properly and that all the things that a healthy law firm needs to do, you can’t double in this, you can’t be half in. If you don’t have work to do, you need to be generating work. It is not OK to stay at home half of the day because you don’t have any work. Work hard, get clients. Hussle.

In diesem Podcast berichte ich von etwas, das mich in dem Buch "Built to last - Successful Habits of Visionary Companies" von Jim Collins und Jerry I. Porras sehr beeindruckt und überrascht hat. Es ist bereits 1994 erschienen und handelt von visionären Unternehmen, also Unternehmen, die - ihre Branche anführen, - von ihren Konkurrenten bewundert werden, - eine lange Erfolgsgeschichte geschrieben haben, - verschiedene Produktlebenszyklen durchlaufen haben, - durch mehrere Generationen von Führungskräften beeinflusst wurden, und - die die Welt nachhaltig verändert haben. Die Autoren vergleichen jeweils Pärchen von anfangs sehr ähnlichen börsennotierten Unternehmen, die sich unterschiedlich entwickelten. Sie vergleichen diese anhand von öffentlich zugänglichen Daten und werten diese quantitativ aus. Hier die untersuchten Unternehmenspärchen: Visionär vs. Vergleich - 3M vs.Norton - American Express vs. Wells Fargo - Boeing vs. McDonnell Douglas - Citicorp vs. Chase Manhattan - Ford vs.GM - General Electric vs. Westinghouse - Hewlett-Packard vs. Texas Instruments - IBM vs. Burroughs - Johnson & Johnson vs. Bristol-Myers Squibb - Marriott vs. Howard Johnson - Merck vs. Pfizer - Motorola vs. Zenith - Nordstrom vs. Melville - Philip Morris vs. RJR Nabisco - Procter & Gamble vs. Colgate - Wal-Mart vs. Ames - Walt Disney vs. Columbia Von den Ergebnissen hat mich ein bestimmtes ganz besonders überrascht, weil sich in diesem Punkt etablierte, über 100 Jahre alte visionäre Unternehmen gar nicht von heutigen Start-ups unterscheiden. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Spaß beim Zuhören und erfolgreiche Prüfungsprozesse!

Steve Jobs was one of the primary creative forces behind Apple and their success at becoming one of the most important companies in the world.

When you’re just launching a new startup company, one of the first things many entrepreneurs begin to think about is how to find funding from investors and financial partners. But, the problem of getting a “yes” from investors often arises due to a few key components that entrepreneurs have mistakenly overlooked. My guest today is Lauren Flanagan, Founder and Managing Director of Belle Capital USA. She is also the CEO of a strategic advisory firm called SCIO Corp, a company that helps early stage companies prepare to scale, raise capital, and achieve successful exits. I’ve known Lauren for a little over a year and she is filled with knowledge, insight, and understanding of the complexities within the investing industry, as well as the challenges that many startup businesses and entrepreneurs face when searching for outside funding to take their business to the next level. Lauren joins me on the show today to share her knowledge and insight about some of the key components you should consider before presenting your business or product idea to potential investors, why not all businesses need outside funding, and why building a competent team around your idea is a critical part of showing investors the value of your proposition.   “It’s important that you do as much diligence on your partners as they are going to do on you.” – Lauren Flanagan   This Week on the Your Money, Your Business, Your Life Podcast: How to know when to begin raising capital and outside funding How to tell when your product is ready to present to financial partners and investors Why you need the right advisors – and the type of advisors you should consider How to prepare for outside funding The importance of creating, protecting, and sharing intellectual property within your plan   5 Value Proposition Questions to Ask Yourself: Who’s going to buy and why? What is the burning problem you are solving? How big is that market? What is the competition like? What is your strategic or competitive advantage?   Mentioned in This Episode: Built to Last book by Jim Collins and Jerry I.

Hernán Cortés was a Spanish conqueror. He was trying to conquer Mexico with only 600 men, and when he got there and saw how huge the enemy was he realized that the only way they were going to do such thing was if his army knew that there was no way back, no turning back. So he burnt the boats. He is the first person to conquer Mexico. Commitment. Commit to your firm. Running and building your own law firm is hard, so if you’re going to be half in, in the long run you’ll do yourself and your client a disservice. If you are not committed to building a well oiled machine that functions properly and that all the things that a healthy law firm needs to do, you can’t double in this, you can’t be half in. If you don’t have work to do, you need to be generating work. It is not OK to stay at home half of the day because you don’t have any work.  Work hard, get clients. Hussle.   “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” (Jim Rohn) Be in a law environment.

When James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras wrote their hugely popular 1994 book Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies they began by stating clearly that they did not mean to write about visionary leaders. Their goal was to find visionary companies -- the crown jewels of their industries -- and discover what made them extraordinary. Then questions arose about the extent to which the principles of Built to Last might apply to individuals. That sparked another investigation that has now led to a follow-up book Success Built to Last which will be published by Wharton School Publishing later this year. Mark Thompson and Stewart Emery co-authors with Porras of Success Built to Last spoke with Knowledge at Wharton about their book. In addition the authors are conducting a global survey on how people think about success; a link to the survey can be found at the end of this interview.
