really liked it

People who are exceptionally good in business aren’t so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more. Businesses fail when their owners spend their time and energy defending what they think they know.

3 aspects that shocked me when reading the book:
- Most business owners focus on working in their business when really they should be working on their business.

- A business that is built and managed by someone who combines the approach of the technician, the manager and the entrepreneur will have a far greater chance of future success than one guided by someone thinking like a technician alone.

- Almost all new business owners assume that because they understand the technical work of the business, they understand how a technical business works. In reality, these are two completely different issues, and blurring the distinction between the two is a fatal error.
