Business Principles

We have refined a set of “Principles For Growing Value Of An Investment-Grade Privately Held Businesses." This framework can be applied to the vision of a management team in any industry or business. Applying these Principles appropriately results in the differentiation between a Lifestyle business and an Investment-Grade business.

The Promise -
“If you will operate your business inside the Commercial Laws, you will end up ok.”

— J.D. Rockefeller circa 1880

Leadership

A capable management team with enough experience can refine the Business and Industry Specific Principles for their Business circumstances. The premise is that there exists commercial laws that if adhered to will result is a successful business operation year over year, decade over decade. We refine and apply a commonly understood set of these principles so they can be communicated internally and adhered to.

The result of this activity is a more specific set of Principles which helps create a common understanding and sets an outcome for everyone in the business to strive for. This more specific set of Principles helps create more coordinated and productive effort by everyone in the enterprise.

Other business standards that apply to the performance of the individuals running a business include our Management Excellence and Leadership Observable Traits documents.

Personnel Excellence

We also use a guideline to set a personal standard for trying to achieve excellence, Character Is Destiny. This document wasn’t developed for us to measure others by. We originally published this so others could have an easy way to communicate to us, if they saw us not living up to the our intended behaviors.
