Gary Harpst: Six Disciplines for Excellence:

Building Small Businesses That Learn, Lead and Last
Show Summary: Six Disciplines for Excellence is a long-term fitness program, not a fad diet. This interview and the book provides six fundamental business principles that are specifically designed to help small businesses move beyond momentary success to achieve and sustain success.

Harpst devotes a separate chapter to each of the six Disciplines: Decide What’s Important, Set Goals That Lead, Align Systems, Work the Plan, Innovate Purposefully, and Step Back.

Mr. Harpst’s book also details step-by-step the unique business methodology that he developed and successfully used to build an award-winning international software business. The problem, for most of us, isn’t knowing what to do – but doing it. Gary Harpst says “When it comes to achieving excellence, figuring out the right things to do isn’t nearly as difficult as continuing to do them over the long term.”

This interview provides a roadmap to get it done.
