There is a phenomenon in the world of business and in life that you are probably being influenced by without your knowledge.  It’s called: BEING a consumer. 

So, what is a consumer?  The dictionary defines it as 1. A person who buys and uses up goods and 2. A living thing that must eat other organisms to obtain energy necessary for life.

When I ask the entrepreneurs and companies that I work with if they have a Philosophy of Business, I usually get blank stares.

For the most part, people in the business world are not engaging in this conversation - they are not taking the time to slow down and contemplate what their philosophy is.  Are you in the same position - working and operating without a philosophy that you have created for yourself?
