Being in business for over 20 years, my husband Greg and I believe the best way to grow your business is to duplicate it by developing leaders. Leadership is simply a lifestyle of giving and serving to meet the needs of others.   Leadership is also a lifestyle of growing personally so you have something to pour into others. Read leadership books, listen to podcasts, go to events, and find people successful in areas that interest you and duplicate their efforts.   Surprisingly, last Fall, we discovered an “Edutainment” reality TV show for entrepreneurs, and after watching, we agree with the “3 P’s philosophy” of Marcus Lemonis, a Lebanese-born American businessman, inventor, television personality and philanthropist. According to a CNBC article, “Marcus’ passion for business has landed him to star in CNBC’s new primetime reality series The Profit. In each episode, Marcus Lemonis will step in to save struggling businesses while investing his own cash in the process. Viewers get to see his personal mantra ring true: “Business success is about the three P’s: People, Process and Product.”   The 3 P’s applies to business, but we choose to believe it also applies to leadership.
