Strategic Readings

I’m in my last year of school and I’ve been reading two really interesting books, “Good to Great” and the “E-Myth”. These both give a great perspective on how a business should be run. First of all, Good to Great teaches that the first thing to do is to have a good CEO who is humble and very driven for success. Then that person needs to find great people to work with.
That principle seems to hold true with Provo Labs Solutions. Yes, we are still alive. We’re doing quite well actually. We already have one project underway with quite a few in process. We all even received our first paycheck! Not bad! The noly reason we’ve pulled it off so far is that Phil hired “the right people”.
our new struggle, as I’ve discovered in the E-Myth book is that we are no longer an “infant” company but rather an “adolescent” company. We have been doing everything on our own up until now and have rapidly outgrown ourselves literally overnight. We’ve hired a couple of extra people but need to hire quite a few more if we are going to make it the next month. Again, the critical point will be hiring the “right” people. So if any of my readers believe you are the “right” people or know of the “right” people, feel free to respond. I’d love to hear about it.
