Know your Shit

By Chris Rugh | December 16, 2009

I was sitting on my couch this morning wrapped up in my snuggie (it was a left over from thursday nights snuggie bar crawl with 40 of my closest friends) and reading forbes, some industry info, and other things. It struck me that a good part of my job as CEO is simply to know my shit and be a super sponge for info.

Knowledge is power.

If your going to be good at business that means you always need to get better at business. Take time to read, listen, learn, and ask wise people what they think, and make sure to ask questions.

My grandfather survived the great depression. On my last trip back to Detroit I asked him lots of questions about “the last time” we had a depression. He was very helpful and insightful. Its alot easier to learn from someone that has been there than to try and re-invent the wheel.
