Monday Morning Memo

Wouldn’t it be amazing to know whether your business idea is going to be a success before you spend any resources pursuing it? In 1998 Diane Krejci approached Roy H. Williams with a proposal for him to sponsor one of 3 different events for the Buda Lions Club’s annual festival. Instantly a superpower that resides within his brain said “this wiener dog race is going to be huge.” Within a few years it drew hundreds of contestants and thousands of spectators from all over North America. The other two events were forgotten.  BUY THE BOOK ON AMAZON

Peter Nevland interviewed Roy and Diane to figure out the secrets that turn business ideas into growing piles of money. Each short chapter includes an interview, a breakdown of the important insights, questions to answer and space for you to journal what it will take for you to succeed. You’ll see your business from a new perspective, remember what helped you start it in the first place, and just might discover what’s been holding you back from the success you know is possible.

Random Quote:

“They have so much time, these old folks. They stroll their grocery carts down the middle of the narrow aisle in the frozen food section looking for nothing in particular. These old folks wait to locate their purse or wallet only after the checker has totaled and bagged their three items—like it’s a big surprise they will need to pay.

No one in line cares that their son Billy is visiting from Portland and will stay through the weekend.

Maybe if I invade their personal space a bit more, they will mosey on.

That was me right behind them when I was 33 years of age. I was in a hurry to do a lot of important things.

Now, 40 years later, I’m in the same frozen food section looking for…what was it again? And what did I do with that grocery list?”
