#010 A wonderful business works when you are not.

To have a wonderful business, it is necessary to have three things: a competitive advantage (or a moat, which is a small part of business strategy), exceptional managers (or leaders), and exceptional finances.

Crafting and sharing a great story linked to your business is part of a great strategy.

A great business strategy gives you sustainable top-line revenue because customers look for your products and services.

#004 Most business owners and investors think their business is a wonderful business. I don't blame them.

We all have different perspectives of what a wonderful business is.

For example, Warren Buffet thinks a wonderful business is a business that has great managers and exceptional finances.

I think a wonderful business is a business that runs without you and generates healthy returns and grows year over year.

Others think a wonderful business is a business that grows year over year, comes up with new products, services and initiatives every year and because of this, the returns for investors and the owners compound every year it goes by.

In this wonderful conversation with Jabet LeBret, author, professional speaker and founder of several companies we learn that for some, it's not about growing your business fast, but rather growing your business better.

Discover what better means and all the wonderful benefits this brings to you as a business owner and as an investor.
