A Business Without Problems?

Let's be honest.  There's not a business anywhere that is without problems.  Business is complicated and imperfect.  Every business everywhere is staffed with imperfect human beings and exists by providing a product or service to other imperfect human beings.

-Bob Parsons, American Entrepreneur

In my experience, this rings true. Some days, truer than others. I am yet to see a business that does not go through its share of issues. One of the keys, I believe, is getting to the stage that you are clear on your purpose - your goal. And this takes time and trial and error to formulate. Once you know your purpose, it allows you to navigate the issues with a destination in mind. A ship without a destination goes where? A business without a destination goes where?

Whether it be a corner store, a dental office, an internet company, or a fortune 500 corporation....business is complicated and, at the best of times, imperfect. Having a beacon to guide you, call it a goal, value system, or mission often helps keep you on the right path.
