自己満足は最大の敵

はじめは少し読みづらかった Entrepreneur が、読みやすくなってきました。
辞書をひく回数が非常に減ってきたと思います。
興味深い記事が多いので、別の起業家向け雑誌である "Inc." と "Business Week small biz" をさらに注文しました。

Of the myriad challenges you face as an entrepreneur, one of the biggest is keeping yourself-and your company-from becoming complacent.
During the early days of startup, every aspect of running a business is new to you, so coming up with new and innovative ways of doing things is simply a way of life.

But as your company grows, you put systems in place to help your business run more smoothly.
Unfortunately, as the business gets bigger, the very systems that enabled your success can start to strangle your creativity.

In the day-to-day chaos of running a company, it's easy to get focused on working through your endless to-do list and putting out fires.
But failing to take the long view can destroy your company.
As the business world gets increasingly competitive, it's crucial not to coast on past successes, but to continually implement new ideas.
Now more than ever, the most successful entrepreneurs are those who regularly take the time to assess what their businesses could be doing differently - and better.

In our cover story, "Get Creative" (page 62), you'll meet some innovative entrepreneurs who share their methods for staying one step ahead of the pack. Be sure you take the time to read it...no matter how busy you are.
