Austin to DC to NYC to DC to Austin

Just got back from an Austin to Washington DC to New York back to Washington DC to Austin 4 day marathon. A blessing to spend 4 days with my Mom and my sister. In my notes yesterday I wrote, no better R.O.I than time with family! After seeing Teddy and Kelly last night, I believe it more today.

I got to see a ton of business and I am becoming more emphatic about a subject that really separates the "players/rule changers" from the "others". The subject is CULTURE! The really great companies have this culture that just rocks the world and can't be duplicated It's a culture of excellence. Examples from these 3 cities: Bath (NYC) Whole Foods (AUS) Matchbox (DC).

Culture is black and white. Culture is like pregnancy. You can't be a little bit pregnant. Either you are or you are not. Same is true with a Culture of excellence. Either you have it or you don't. But its my strong opinion that once you have it, you can move mountains in business and really rock the world.

Take a look at your culture today and give your company a candid review.

Question: Now the million dollar (or in some cases billion dollar) question: If I don't have it, how can it get it?

Answer: This is how I make a living. Call me!
