The things I learned and the things I experienced during this time.1. Like my old daddy used to say, wish in one and hand and piss in the other and see which one fills up first.2. Intent without execution is lame.3. There is no worse waste than making efficient that which need not be done at all. (paraphrasing that off somebody)4. Employee turnover is a signal. Heed it.

The things I learned and the things I experienced during this time.1. I can sell.2. Time kills deals.3. Brute force development of selling skillset; follow-up, follow-through, persuasion, and influence.4. Make commitments and fulfill them 100% of the time. This is non-negotiable.5. Sell value. Not price.6. For a price, anything can be done.

The things I learned and the things I experienced during this time.1. Corporate politics are real.2. Selling a mature product into a saturated market on price and stealing share is not for me no matter how much money I make.3. I can play in the bigs. I can manage, negotiate, close, and implement complex, multi-million-dollar deals.

The things I learned and the things I experienced during this time.1. Family-owned business politics are real and deadly (not hyperbole).2. Success of an outsider breeds contempt.3. I needed more diplomacy and influence in my toolbox. Authority and influence are not remotely similar.4. A talented, aligned team is powerful.5. My management toolbox is well rounded, diverse, and functional. Except for diplomacy and influence.6. First successes in selling.7. For start-ups, it is imperative to get the self-perpetuating cycle of “sell >> make >> sell >> make” up and running as quickly as possible. Fast is more important than lean. The more you sell, the more manufacturing repetitions you get. The more manufacturing repetitions you get, the better you can make your products. The better you make your products the more you can sell. The more you sell, the more manufacturing…and on and on.

The things I learned and the things I experienced during this time.1. Business schools can never teach you the things you will learn from managing a business that lives and dies by its daily cash flow.2. Create meaningful metrics that drive analytics to inform your actions.3. Businesses don’t do business. People do.4. Almost anything is possible. There is almost always a way to live another day.5. If you don’t have a Six Sigma Black Belt on staff, you’re wasting shit.6. A company is but one resident in the neighborhood called Supply Chain.7. Has there ever been 2 entities more diametrically opposed than private equity and collective bargaining units? There may have never been a more untenable position than that of a unionized company owned by private equity.

Sitting through entire meetings looking at your Blackberry was cool.6. The day to day life of explosive growth.7. Buried on the depth chart.8. A persistent idiot can get a lot done.
