Business Week has an interesting take this morning on how the nation’s entrepreneurs are fighting back against a slumping economy.
I’m guessing that its theme – keep plugging away with smaller margins – drew a few frowns from nine-digit salaried CEOs and corporate investors across Wall Street today.
But sitting here in the lap of entrepreneurship, you grab a special bit of appreciation for priorities – a long-term plan for business prosperity instead of maximizing quarterly profits. It’s another affirmation of one of Charles Koch’s core business philosophies: Privately operated businesses do best when they can focus, Wall Street-free, on long-term plans to add value to their products.
