When I talk about WHY military training is valuable to success in business, I use my take on Marine values “Mission, Men, Self”. That is how I run my business. Mission: Always complete the mission. That is first. Having set the mission finish it. Regardless of the cost. If it is not worth doing don’t make it the mission. For us it is getting our client’s payroll done right and on time, every time. Men: Take care of your people. They are what allow you to succeed. You can’t do it yourself. Your staff is critical. You are a team. Take care of them. Self. More businesses have been destroyed by unchecked ego that anything else. You are last. Your paycheck is last. Your vacation is last. Your ego is unimportant. It is results that count.
