Every person has a philosophy in business and it life. And, the issue is whether you have defined your philosophy in business in some kind of a conscious and rational, and disciplined way? A key principle of philosophy is that unresolved contradictions lead to destruction, with the amount of destruction being relative to the level of contradiction.
Dr. Gentempo shares his own personal and business contradictions in his practice as a chiropractor, which ultimately lead him to found a medical device company and the invention of diagnostic equipment used by thousands of chiropractors worldwide, including the Heart Rate Variablity testing equipment.
A good brand is the purest possible expression of the fundamental philosophy and values of the company, everywhere, no matter what; in everything that’s written everything that’s said in all the ways that the employees relate to each other; and how customer service treats employees and the types of products that you’ll build.
