What makes a thriving business?

Posted on February 25th, 2010 by tim bursch. Filed under business, marketing.


A few things I notice about businesses that are thriving today:

  • Transparency- dropping the walls of corporate facade and engaging directly with customers
  • Trust- giving people (customers and employees) freedom to make the right choice
  • Gratitude- taking time to thank each customer for their trust and business
  • Focus- investing their time, energy, and resources in what they do best

What would you add?

  • I would add "Adapt"

    To paraphrase Amiee Mullins from her most recent TED talk (who was actually quoting Darwin):

    "It is not the the smartest or strongest, but the ones most able to adapt that survive."
  • Jason,
    Great addition. Thanks. As change accelerates, adaptation will be even more important.
