Keith J. Cunningham’s 4-Day MBA was introduced in 2007. This is an intensive, action-oriented program with Keith J. Cunningham and 100 executives and entrepreneurs from around the world. You’ll learn the critical skills you need to successfully launch, grow and boost your business.
Anyone can start a business. To grow in a competitive economy, SKILLS and COMPETENCE are required. Every large company in the world today started as a small company. In fact, the average Fortune 500 company started with an initial investment of less than $25,000. Heinz started with horseradish and a horse-drawn carriage. Hershey started with caramel. Sony started with rice cookers. Marriott started with a root beer stand. Proctor and Gamble began selling candles door-to-door. They all started small!
The real reason they are among the largest companies in the world today has nothing to do with the “idea” or product the founder created, but rather the skills they had to develop it further. Business success has nothing to do with the idea, product or service being sold, but rather the skills required to EXECUTE!
Unfortunately, most companies fail before their fifth birthday, and the reason has little to do with the idea. You can name any product or service, from newspapers to nylons, from beer to basketballs, from chewing gum to cheeseburgers, and we can find at least one person who made a million dollars and at least a hundred people who went broke are.
