I just finished reading “The Google Story” and no I haven’t finished Jack Welch’s “Winning” but I saw this book on the bookshelves and it grabbed my attention. Once I started to read it I could barely put it down. Anyway it really is an amazing story about how two guys took an idea to improve a service already being offered on the internet and once they’d topped everyone with a better search engine they were off and running.
Of course the money that they make comes from their advertising. Their Adwords service has become a license to print money for them. The proof of that is in the sales and profits they have managed to reap in the last 10 years. They’ve become the dominant player in the technology field. And they are constantly creating new innovative products that tend to trump their competition. The amazing thing is Google essentially started in a business incubator program st Stanford and after it left there it actually spent about four months in a garage. But the founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were committed to the concept. So much so that they both dropped out of the Stanford Graduate program. Obviosley it all worked out well. For aspiring entrepreneurs and just about everyone else this book is a really good read and I highly recommend it.

There is one big difference I have found when it comes to writing articles for a site like www.Suite11.com and writing for my own site www.SmallBusinessDelivered.com and that is first person and third person writing. With this blog and my own website I like the fact that I can just write. I can use these forums to relate personal experiences that over the years have impacted my career and the way I personally view the business world. Sometimes I think my view is kind of upside down. But often the best way to inform a reader of what they may encounter working in the same field is by relating your own experience to them.
In the third person it can be hard to keep personal experiences out of it or to relate them in a manner that can teach them the same lesson. This can be difficult. Some of the articles I write for www.Suite101.com will be of my own experiences but they can’t be told that way. So for my own satisfaction I rewrite them in the first person. Often relating a story is the best teacher of all.

With any business venture that you might decide to pursue there is one thing you need to have an abundance of. Patience. You can never have enough. Success no matter how much we would like it to happen right away is not an overnight occurence. You need to be patient. And you need to take the little successes you have and build upon them. Everyone remembers President Bush’s credo of “Stay the course”. Well in business that is absolutely true. As long as your course is already well mapped out.
Often things take time to get rolling. I like to think of it as the “Snowball effect. Once you get some momentum behind it and the ball starts to roll all it can do is grow bigger and bigger. You just need to get that initial momentum. But it might take some time so be patient because if you are things will probably work out. Too often people are in a hurry and so if something does start to happen right away we jump the gun and start changing things. When we do that we are back at square one. So remember “Patience Is A Virtue”
