I read something very interesting the other day from Verne Harnish regarding start-up businesses. Most of us have heard that less than 50% of all businesses survive their first five years. But did you know that the survival rate of all Amish-owned businesses is an incredible 95%? It's true.
Check out the above short video. Perhaps they're on to something with this penchant for hard work, staying lean, remaining focused on what they do best and remaining humble. Do you think there's something in there for us?
