I am very jeolous that you got to meet Mark Harmon. I will say that you are totally right that our name is our brand and that doesnt just apply to celebrities, but to all of us. As we live our life the things we do and say have an effect on how people see us. Unfortunately we usually are more worried about getting our opinion across at the time; instead of thinking how is this going to affect how people think about me. Also has Christians we wear the brand of Christ and sometimes we need to think how well are we representing his brand. Just a few thoughts... Tyler Dr. Burt,

The more I think about it, the more I realize that a system will allow all businesses to GROW - franchise or not. Thanks, Burt! Great post, Dr. Burt!

My grandfather was a bombing navigator in WWII who flew 28 missions on a B-17. I share the story about the fate of his crew when they were shot down during a 'Milk Run' late in 1944 in my keynote speeches. I'd not heard the story of how the "Flying Fortress" earned her name.

The Art of War has so many things that can be applied. If you can equate competing businesses with war, which it is, Sun Tzu may become a sort of thoughtful guidebook. It's interesting that when Wal Mart started moving into smaller towns many established mom and pop businesses did the same thing however, Wal Mart did not.

That's a great point, though. When you find your sweet spot, work it! Keep your eyes out for the next opportunity, but maximize what you've got. One to remember!
