The Four Pillars is developing quite the trove of resources for entrepreneurs. I would highly recommend everyone check out
https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com, and buy the book if you can afford it! Doing so may make the difference between becoming overwhelmingly successful, or being one of the 80% of business that fail in the first 10 years. It is a great guide to developing a well rounded business that excels in all areas.
Thank you Brandon, I agree 100%. There is a lot to be learned from the book and website, and it is all built around the idea that your business is operating as a system and all the component parts do not operate in a vacuum. In other words, they all have a significant impact on your business as a whole. The book identifies the four key and most significant components within your business, and then, along with the video series, teaches how to get all of those components working well and working together into a well oiled machine.
It's very easy to focus on what you are good at, you could be a business owner that is a great salesman, and focus on the sales. However, without the follow through on product, customers, driven by you and your team... You won't be able to satisfy the needs of the customers or retain them.
This is in my experience, the most comprehensive and actionable business series the world has ever seen. The actionable part really drives the value for me, it is chock full of learnings that you can begin to apply to your business the moment you understand them. Alan delivers an unparalleled amount of experience and wisdom in book and video series.
Excellent post, Joe. You are turning out to be one of my best students. Very proud of you.
I could not have written the book for money. It was done out of pure passion to help other entrepreneurs to avoid failure and, instead, succeed in their entrepreneurial venture. Business failure is very painful and destructive. Sadly 80% of businesses failed within the first 10 years.
That is a lot of pain and suffering. It has taken me a year to write the book and almost another year to produce a 70 video series, that should be completed by the end of this month. I have assigned everything, 100% royalty free, to DNotes Global, Inc. That is how passionate I am about giving everyone a chance to succeed in life and in business.
DNotes is a reflection of that. And you all are the supporting cast to help DNotes realize our vision of building a purposeful, trusted digital currency - truly inclusive for everyone worldwide to participate and benefit from its success. In essence, the book is our road-map with consistent teaching of respectfully working together as a team for the mutual benefits of everyone.
The book is not about business theories, but written in plain English for the common people. Truthfully, I do not enjoy writing or video production. I did it out of a strong conviction that it is the best contribution I can leave behind to the benefits of others for a long time.
