What is your primary mission? Your “primary mission” is not about your business, it’s about you. A short statement of whatever makes you get out of bed in the morning. It’s not about material assets; it’s your essence of your purpose.

One of the greatest benefits of turning an ordinary business into an extraordinary profit-making machine and owning or controlling the products is the ability to get rich through duplication and multiplication. Once there was one McDonald's, one subway shop, one of everything.
