There are a number of factors that combine for a business to be successful. Over 25 years and hundreds of clients, I’ve come to believe that most important is the character of the entrepreneur. Examine this issue with me and see what you think.
BE PART OF THE LEGACY

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

It was such a pleasure listening to your informative podcast, Dave! I am sure you would have covered a lot more of the essential character-traits of those successful in the following sessions. The only thing I would like to address in here briefly relates to sudden influences that force even the most committed individuals sometimes to redefine their priorities. However, more often than not, it is their character that continues to hold sway in an imaginable form and helps them come out a Winner. In a nutshell, people of character have the uncanny ability to overcome unexpected challenges powered by their analytical capabilities that form the basis of their character.
It shall indeed be an honor for me to listen to more of your excellent podcasts.

The character is a quality of the person that says a lot about its values, the way in which it might act in certain circumstances and how it might drive other people, when it is put in a position of power. The character has a close relationship with integrity. If the character is “who we are”, integrity is “what we do.” The integrity connotes a deep commitment to doing the right thing for the right reason, regardless of the circumstances. The respect of which must enjoy leadership requires that the ethics of an individual is indisputable. So, character is what can make the difference between one who merely know the rules of the leadership and the one who knows to put them into practice in everyday life. It encloses the personal qualities that give strength and vigor to the actions of a person. It implies show oneself serenely firm in what one believes, but at the same time available to listen to any advice and suggestions and willing to change his mind if needed.
Thanks for your thoughts, Aldo.
