Portal Gourmet, LLC.

My wife and I have a long way to go. We have set goals in our business where people will benefit. We want to be successful, and we want to share our successes with people in order to celebrate together. We have worked hard to change old paradigms in order to understand how to help people better.

The book Follow me to Freedom (2009) helped me realize the importance of listening to people carefully. In order to become a good leader, I must listen to people’s needs. If I do not talk to them, I do not hear their desires. People need to understand that one person is not more important than another (Claiborne & Perkins, 2009). Everyone deserves equal attention and understanding. Therefore, I need to always pay attention to people’s comments to know how I can lead more efficiently.

Our relationship with people is important because “we can nurture each other” (Claiborne & Perkins, 2009, p. 209). Everyone has special skills and aptitudes, so we all can learn from each other. Sometimes we can lead and other times we must follow. Flexibility will help us learn from different perspectives.

Portal Gourmet, LLC will be successful if we form a team where different people participate and lead. We know we cannot lead alone. People’s skills and cultural backgrounds are important in today’s world. We do not have all the necessary skills to run a business. If we form a team, our skills and knowledge will benefit the business and the community as well.
