Invest in People
Written by Verne on January 18th, 2012If you’re going to invest in something, invest in people. People are the single most worthy asset in your life to put your faith (and time, and money, and…) into.
This isn’t about blind faith. You need to surround yourself with the right people first.
Then, just be accessible. Just as you should have faith in people to do what they’re supposed to do, you should have faith that they’ll engage you when they need your support. Adding natural mechanisms for conversations in your day or week helps, too.
Offer the benefit of the doubt by default. Never become jaded. Believe that everyone can hit a homerun. That’s what they’re there for.
If you’re an entrepreneur, you can’t afford not to place your faith in people. It’s the only way you can get anything done. So if you need to see it in that light to be convinced, then yes, it’s a productivity tool.художник на икониИкони на светциХудожникОткъде да купя иконаидея за подаръксондажи

I think the largest difficulty many entrepreneurs might run into are those “natural mechanisms for conversations” because they don’t really want conversation, they want to know what is happening, where, and how progress is coming along.
I know it sure irks me when they frame it like that.
