I wanted to randomly talk about a concept in my mind. It was forming when I read an article in a magazine and the article really helped put it all together in my mind (link to article at the bottom). Plus, with all the people I've been blogging about, I feel like it really fits.
The concept is how one creates a long-lasting, successful business. In summary of what I've written so far, I feel that Disney, Google, and Apple have built themselves on that principle. Their purpose is to provide a quality product and service in a way that benefits all those involved: customers, workers, share holders, and the world.
I really feel like that the focus needs to not be the profit, fame, power, or influence that might come from being successful, but in providing service to the world. The moment the focus shifts, it makes a dramatic difference that I don't know how to explain. And while it may still make a profit and accomplish what became the focus- something is missing and the value of what is being done diminishes.
I feel like this is the truth in life. We have to be open and honest in everything we do. When we do that, we will enjoy what we do. Add that with a quality product or service, customers will be happy and business will grow. I find that a wonderful law of the universe! If you do something that helps the world, you are benefitted as well.
As a religious person, I find that my commitment to follow the pattern set by Gd follows under this same rule. I have to obey Gd's commandments first and then trust that He will make everything work out after that. I can't explain it, but it is a principle I have observed in my life and the lives of others. I know that the commitment to Gd, honesty, and integrity will make the difference in finding true success in life.
