Leverage, Multiple Income Streams and Innovation

Hi Mike,

Thanks for pointing out that terrific article!

By the way, Jack Stack (the author of the article and CEO of SRC) has an interesting-looking book called "The Great Game of Business". I've read through it partially, it has some great insights too - like his article. (I haven't seen his new book yet, "A Stake in the Outcome".)

I especially like this highlighted quote from the article:

"If you sell a pen, you can make a dollar. If you sell a pen company, you can make $10 million. When you play the game of business at the highest level, you understand that ultimately the company is your product, not the pen."

This seems like an eye-opener in itself.... I'm aware of a few "small-time" entrepreneurs who have really hit the "big time" by realizing this, and who nowadays create and eventually sell their (profitable) businesses. I'm talking literally millions of dollars here....

There's a lot of value in that article.... Thanks Mike!
