Houchins Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:00:42 +0000 http://johnmaxwellonleadership.com/?p=215#comment-1664 John, The thing about this chapter that struck me was one word -- PASSION. I think it must be the basis upon what we build any venture, especially when dealing with people. As a high school educator, I find the old adage, "they don't care what you know until they know that you care" becomes reality. People will really listen to you once they know that you genuinely care about them first. Maybe take it this way. Just like the coffee shop business, make people your primary business and the way you're going to serve them secondary. I have more to say, but I am out of time... Thanks, Scott John,

The thing about this chapter that struck me was one word — PASSION. I think it must be the basis upon what we build any venture, especially when dealing with people. As a high school educator, I find the old adage, “they don’t care what you know until they know that you care” becomes reality. People will really listen to you once they know that you genuinely care about them first.

Maybe take it this way. Just like the coffee shop business, make people your primary business and the way you’re going to serve them secondary.

I have more to say, but I am out of time…
Thanks,
