Board Continued from page 8 the business owner said, “I don’t know what took us so long to organize and use a ‘real’ board of directors.” In summary, the 10 common plans explained in the past ﬁve issues of Hotel & Motel Management are capable of producing uncommon success. It is all about the thought process of the business-owning family. Is their culture one of working in the business or on the business? Is it one of operating from the hip or following a common set of rules for decision making? What is your family’s deﬁnition of the purpose of owning a business and the responsibilities and sacriﬁces that go with it? Many business owners dream of having a smooth-running and highly proﬁtable business. A company might be revered for all it provides economically and how it fulﬁlls the human need of production. But how many are committed to the process it takes to be successful in business and achieve those lofty dreams? It takes continuous discipline and willpower to have singleness of purpose. Plus, it requires the best possible set of habits, acquired intentionally by discipline, to be a planner that consistently uses the 10 common business plans to achieve their dreams. That is what I call achieving uncommon success. hmm@questex.com Mike Henning is the founder of the Henning Family Business Center, which was established in 1985 and is headquartered in Efﬁngham, Ill.
