When I ask the classes I teach,“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds?” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,
28、“So if 7most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonalds makes more money than you?”The answer is obvious:McDonalds is excellent at business systems.The reason that so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about busine
