Treat employees like they make a difference and they will
It turns out that doing the right thing, treating people right, is also the right thing for the company.
There's this creative thing in me that wants to have my work used - like the author of a book who wants it read.
I've never really thought of myself as an entrepreneur. I think of an entrepreneur as someone who wants to make a lot of money. That has never been at the top of my list.
I'm not big on reading business books. I get copies of all of them, because people want me to put a comment on the jacket. Every once in a while, I'll get interested and read one all the way through.
I don't keep up on a lot of the business trends.
