Are you a happy hedgehog?

The hedgehog principle is from Jim Collins book Good to Great, he tells a story of the fox trying to catch a hedgehog.

The fox has many different strategies and tries all sorts of tricks. The hedgehog has one defence; he rolls up in a ball.

Translating this lesson to business Jim’s research showed that good firms who become great focus on one thing. In your business focus on what you love and you will be a happy hedgehog.

Me, I love the numbers of business. Not just the profit or the tax I help save but the really important numbers that drive the business.
