Today I read The E-Myth Revisited. I'd read bits of it earlier this year, on a whim when I had time to spare, so it wasn't unfamiliar. It left two major ideas on my mind.

The best business people have a compulsive desire to know more. These are the people that have questions about everything, from seemingly unimportant minor details to strategic visions that stretch the realm of possibility. This concept connects with a central theme thus far, that it is more important to ask questions than provide answers.

The Business Development Process that Gerger argues for parallels "the practice" offered in the mastery book I read a few weeks ago. A few pages after I made this connection, I noticed a quote and analysis applying Leonard directly to the development process. The point is that a business owner invites others, staff and partners, and ultimately the customer, to engage in his practice.

I'm left wondering how to collect the right questions. What kind of things should I look for and focus on? What kinds of things should I ignore?

I'm also left wondering in what I find mastery and where I seek practice. Right now, the answer is a bit more obvious, where are other connections I can make between past reading & experience and current reading & experience?
