I’ve been asked by a number of people to share some of the things I’ve learned over the years on what it takes to build a successful company. Beyond desire and hard work, there are several insights that I’ve gained through Sabre’s 21 year history and through experiences I’ve had observing the Philadelphia 100 community and the firms that Sabre partners and competes with in the federal contracting market.
Certainly, a commitment towards growth is essential, but beyond that, successful entrepreneurs need to understand what motivates them. Is it creating? Is it having the autonomy and freedom to fulfill a vision? Is it the competitive environment? I think knowing oneself and his or her likes and dislikes and strengths and weaknesses are keys to predicting future success as a growth firm. Having that understanding will help you define what success looks like and how you will build your team.
I will be blogging regularly and welcome your comments. Please let me know if there are any particular areas you’d like me to write on. Please subscribe and get notices of future updates.
