The Monk and the Riddle
I just finished reading The Monk and the Riddle by Randy Komisar. The book was a quick and interesting read. Here are three things I took away from the story:
- Building a business is about more than finding a business model. A business must also make a positive difference in the world. The mission must be a rallying cry for you and your employees during your worst times.
- Figure out how to do what you love now. The “Deferred Life Plan” where you work at something just to earn a paycheck so you can retire later is risky. You may never live to see the time when you have enough savings to live your dream.
- Life is a journey - we are all mortal so the best thing we can do is to keep the journey going for as long as possible and enjoy the ride.
