(re: organization)*
"Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich." ~ Proverbs 10:4 (NAS)
In business, organization is an absolute necessity, not an alternative. A smart entrepreneur will learn that although ideas start businesses, organization makes the successful. That means a business owner must either develop the necessary discipline or hire someone else to keep the company in order.
