However, this is only the half-truth. Firstly, although talent is a prerequisite, it will only blossom with the right kind of environment where you receive training as well as inspiration.

Building a brand with meaning is a difficult thing to do. But there is one hack which tells us more than any other signal, and it takes less than a second to give that signal. The price.

In last week's post, I described The 20% Rule , where by improving four key business processes by just 20% each leads to results doubling. What I love most about The 20% Rule is how it allows us to set big Stretch Goals , and then focus all our business energy on incremental, ongoing improvements to reach them. So what does process improvement at a 20% clip look like?
