Lesson #2: Business Is Not All About The Profits
| |
| “Business is not longer a matter of profits alone,” Penney said. “Profits must come through public confidence, and public confidence is given to any merchant in proportion to the service which he gives to the public.” As much as he focused on providing superior customer service in all of his stores, Penney also understood that service meant more than in-store courtesy.

Lesson #4: A Great Businessman is Only as Great as His Vision
| |
| What is the difference between an average point guard and a great point guard? According to Johnson, it all lies in the vision. Great point guards see the court differently than everyone else. They envision where they need to go and how they are going to get there before they even touch the ball.

| |
| An episode of the popular ABC TV show “SharkTank” presented the opportunity to focus on a critical area of a business – its breakeven point.
