10 THOUGHT FRAMES THAT CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE A+ ENTREPRENEURIAL PERFORMANCE

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

           ---Mathew 6:21 (KJV)

 EdwinsThink.blogspot.com debuted with the article, Entrepreneurial Success And The Profoundness of Thought  on the 7^th of March, 2017. In that article I tried to make the point that success in entrepreneurship depends, partly, on the depth of thinking preceding the entrepreneur’s actions and activities. I did not mean or say that the mere depth of thought, devoid of the energy to execute, would be strong enough to bring about stellar performance of any kind. In simple terms I had in my head the role of a well-articulated vision/mission of an organisation, as framed by its founder. However, in the absence of a mission/vision statement the founder’s externalised inner convictions or those of other founders suffices.  

In this regard I have compiled 10 of such thought frames that continue to explain, among others, the extraordinary performance levels of some of the world’s leading entrepreneurial efforts. 

1. There is only one definition of business purpose: to create a customer.
                                                                      ----Peter Drucker, 1909—2005.
2. We are not going to make customers pay for our inefficiencies.
                                                                      ----Jeff Bezos
3. We are here to put a dent in the universe, otherwise why even be here.       
                                                                       ----Steve Jobs, 1955---2011.
4. The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do.
                                                                       ----Michael Porter.
5. Alibaba is not a job. It is a mission.
                                                                      ----Jack Ma.
6. People are not your most important assets. The Right persons are
                                                                       ----Jim Collins
7. The business of business is business.
                                                                       ----Alfred Sloan, 1875---1966.
8. We want Google to be the third half of your brain.
                                                                       ----Sergey Brin
9. How you gather, manage, and use information will determine whether you win or lose.
                                                                   ----Bill Gates.
10. There are times at which it is right not to listen to customers.
                                                                    ----Clayton Christensen.
