Vaughan Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:20:51 +0000 http://foundread.com/?p=632#comment-875265 Yeah, the longer I go, the more it seems that the key to entrepreneurial achievement is day-to-day execution, zig-zagging through an ever-shifting landscape. Counterbalancing this with a long-term vision is great, if you have one, but hardly essential. I've seen so many examples of entrepreneurs succeeding without it. Succeeding without good execution, though, probably would take a miracle. Thank you for another good article. I also found your recent "7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers" helpful.

I live every day reminding myself that the myth is just that - though others looking in not necessarily seeing the problems think that the myth is alive and well. Makes me laugh and also has me thankful for what we've been able to achieve so far. Definitely true.
