Robert Bridges, MD
Contributing author – Align, Expand and Succeed


 

1.    This book is about conscious business and being a conscious entrepreneur. What does being a conscious entrepreneur mean to you?

The conscious entrepreneur is attuned to the needs of the customer.  In this often hectic world, “follow through” is so important.  From first contact on to the completion of the services the client has purchased, every step should be in concert with the clients needs.  The conscious entrepreneur instills value for their services and engenders confidence such that when the next time the product is needed the conscious entrepreneur is the one first thought of. 

 

2.    What inspired you to be a contributing author in Align, Expand and Succeed?

It is important to share valuable experiences, both good and bad, to empower others to reach their full potential.  This is the tradition of handing down knowledge to better others.  We all have had teachers or instructors whose insight shortened the road to success or made the learning curve a little less steep.

 

3.    Why is the topic of Align, Expand and Succeed important to you?

There is always more to learn, greater insight to gain and a better approach to make in improving ones business. 

 

4.    Why are you specially qualified to write about this topic?

I have had to deal with transitions in business.  I have been given the opportunity to take on demanding roles in at least two different professions.  While different businesses, basic tenants for success apply.   Adaptability to the market challenges, leads to the ability to align with these forces , in turn opens up the freedom to expand beyond constraints and limitations and, succeed.

 

5.    Do you write to make money, for the love of writing or both?

There is value beyond money.  Successful writing not only elevates ones status, but reconfirms ones abilities.  However, there is only true value if what one writes has a positive impact on the reader. 

 

6.    What makes you proud about your involvement with Align, Expand and Succeed?

Participating in this endeavor has permitted me to learn from the other authors.  The groundwork that has made this book a reality and a success by Lynn and Kathleen is beyond what would be hoped for as a single author.  This same team of extremely talented professionals has given me an amazing opportunity to share and to learn.

 

7.    What does the future hold for you and your books?

In holding true to the guideposts of this book, a bright future.

 

8.    What makes this a book that other people MUST read and WHY?

I see this as a unique approach to business, placing renewed emphasis on the importance of the entrepreneur's relationship with the client.  How and why we undertake our business model is as important , if not more so, than just the sales numbers and the bottom line.

 

9.    What people NEED to read this book and WHY?

People facing transition.  Anyone starting a business, anyone wishing to improve their business, and anyone wanting to save their business always need fresh insight.  This book is value-added to their businesses.

 

10. What sparks your creativity? Any tips to help others spark their own creativity?

The challenge of something new, the challenge of combining the old with the new, the challenge to better myself and maybe, finding out that a better mousetrap can be invented. “Luck” is opportunity meeting preparation.  Conformity can be ones worst enemy. 

 

11. What do you think motivates people to become authors? What motivated you to get into
       this unusual industry?

Writing is a form of art.  Story telling goes back beyond the written word and is a wonderful tradition.  I wish to think of books as indelible milestones on the highway of human experience.

 

12. If a potential reader thinks that your book wouldn't interest them, what would you say to
      convince them to buy?

The unknown is often uninteresting.  Judgment of value comes after the last chapter.  There are pearls of wisdom (we hope), but pearls only come from finding the oyster and prying open the shell.  Often there may be no pearl, but many times there is and sometimes a pearl (of knowledge) of great value.

 

13. What is your final message to our readers?

Success often requires stepping out of ones comfort zone.  Never give up on improving oneself.   Sweat equity is a life long investment in your success.
