Book Journaling: “Good to Great” – CH5
Hey everyone! Chapter 5 just plain rocks! It’s all about this idea called a Hedgehog Concept. It’s an understanding, not a goal, strategy, or an intention. It’s just something that you know and make your decisions by in your company.
A hedgehog concept is made up of three main concepts. 1) What COULD you be the best in the world at? 2) What drives your economic engine? and 3) What are you truly passionate about?
If you can figure out those three things, what is something you could be best in the world at, get paid to do, and have fun doing it, you’ll have a hedgehog concept and you will be setting yourself on the path to undeniable greatness.
Unfortunately hedgehog concepts don’t come over night, they are something that you must plan and develop. Most often in a group of people who all have some relation to the project/business/whatever and are all passionate about it. Over time you and your group will be able to develop your hedgehog concept and with it as a reference you will be able to achieve greatness through simplicity.

Book Journaling: “Good to Great” – CH4
Wow! I finally got through chapter four (called “Confront the Brutal Facts [Yet Never Lose Faith]“) with enough confidence that I knew what it was about that I felt comfortable to leave a little overview of the chapter. Gotta be honest though, this whole FIVE MINUTES of video is only the tip of the iceberg and if you want to know the whole bit you’ve gotta read the book yourself.
For those of you who have read the book I would love to know what your thoughts are on my comprehension of the chapter, there were so many good points, so much advice, it’s almost overbearing, ultimately I took notes on what I felt was the most important and relevant to me and you’ll get those points in the video.

Weekly Journal – November 07, 2009
A day late but it’s all good! This journal talks about the first meeting of the Emmett Yo-Yo Club; YoYoTV.net, a project of mine to pull all the yo-yo videos around the web into one place; and my interview on the RenegadeTeens radio show on BlogTalkRadio. It also briefly mentions my new client CoachAmerica and some of what I’m doing for them.
If you have any questions or comments I’m always glad to here them!

Book Journaling: “Good to Great” – CH3
I finished reading chapter three which was titled “First Who … then What”. It talks about how you want to get your team organized before you decide on where you’re going. And that you shouldn’t be the only one who picks, but your team should pick, because if the destination the team picks doesn’t pan out and plans have to be altered, the team won’t have a problem revising these plans; they’ll have joined to be involved with the other people on the team and the talents those people bring to the table. Rather than being enticed to join because of your end goal, they’ll have bought in for their own reasons and will have a much easier time growing and developing along the path to greatness.
That’s what I got out of this chapter, let me know what you think in the comments. I’m reading chapter four right now and it’s a really good one!
