Quick, meaningful wins are hard to find. When you’re at a company and working on a project, stumbling upon these moments where you can get a lot for a little feels like the equivalent of a get rich quick scheme. For the most part, easy tasks that yield high value have already been done. When you do stumble upon a creative yet quick way to solve a problem, however, it’s become common to dismiss creative but quick problem solving as ‘not a big deal’.

Lessons from small businesses that apply to everyone. I’m still on my road trip of the northeast U.S. and made a stop in Bristol, Pennsylvania. What took me to this small town was a video series called The Small Business Revolution. This is a reality show where small businesses in small towns get help from business experts, and I have become a groupie, visiting each town where the series has been made.

Any regular reader of this blog knows that I am not a huge fan of companies who put their own needs above the needs of their customers. Back in Episode 37 , I talked about companies having “inspired” visions versus “motivated” visions, with the former being driven by external needs and the latter being driven by internal needs.
