I’ve had more free time recently. So with this free time, I thought I might as well read some books to help me learn. There’s a book I was supposed to read that a lot of you guys probably know about called Good To Great by Jim Collins. I was supposed to read this for a business class I had a couple semesters ago, but I never really got around to it.
And so with the free time I’ve had, I’ve been plugging away at it. And I recently just finished the other day, so I wanted to make a video and share some of my takeaways. Obviously the biggest one from the book is the Hedgehog concept. The hedgehog concept summed up is something that a company or a person can rely on to help them stay focused in their career, business or life pursuits so that they don’t get distracted by other means or their decisions or opportunities.
And hedgehog concept is you see three circles that work together like a Venn diagram. One of them is what are you deeply passionate about? What drives your economic engine and what you can be the best in the world at Since reading this book I’ve worked on developing each circle for myself, what my economic engine is, what I’m really passionate about, not just oh, I like human performance and I like learning whatever it is, or I like business, but what makes me passionate?
Like things like creation, innovation, creating opportunity for other people, impacting people’s lives. Those are things that can be molded and changed to different subjects. And it doesn’t just lock you in on one thing. And then also what can be the best in the world at, I’m still trying to figure that out,
but reading this book and going through what it talks about has really helped me define more what I wanna do with my career and help me hone in on the things that I’m actually good at and the skills that I have that can be reputable and that can, help drive my economic engine, help create impact in the lives of those around me.
