The Great Brain At The Academy

9/29/2015

When I was in elementary school I loved the Great Brain series by John D. Fitzgerald.  The books mainly focus on Tom D. Fitzgerald,  John's older brother and their childhood in Utah.  The other day I noticed "The Great Brain At The Academy" on our book shelf and could not resist the urge to pick it up and read it.  I was amazed at the business lesson's taught in the book.  Here are ten lessons I learned from the Great Brain.
  1. Identify opportunities
  2. Ask questions
  3. Watch others
  4. Risks are good
  5. Associate with the right people
  6. Take responsibility
  7. Provide solutions
  8. Be honest
  9. Willing to change
  10. Use your strengths
I recommend getting a copy of the book and reading it.  Check the children's section of your local library.  Tom was a fantastic entrepreneur with a knack for making money.   The book is still great and I came away with a new appreciation for TD and his great brain.
