Happy Birthday to George Washington
who was born on this day in 1732.
Most people know him as the first President of the United States (1789–1797).
And though he left behind many wise words that reflect his experience as a President and patriot, we have chosen for our Quote of the Week, one that reflects his role as a farmer.
“Bad seed is a robbery of the worst kind: for your pocket-book not only suffers by it, but your preparations are lost and a season passes away unimproved.”
How might this help you in your business?
First, take a look at this 2:17-minute video, Farmer George.
Back to your business…
- What kind of lessons can you and your colleagues learn from Farmer George?
- What kind of “bad seed” might you come across?
- How might each of these affect you and your business?
- What can you do to avoid “bad seed”?
- What other preparations can you make on your “farm” right now so that you can have an “improved” season?
We suggest you share the video and quote with your management team…and pose questions 1-5 to them for discussion at an upcoming managers meeting.
