entrepreneur doesn’t have enough to do as leader, another
role is to make sure enough cash is flowing to all 8

grow their companies to get mired in any one of these five
interior integrities. Even though they may be more
comfortable working in their specialty, they must act as a
leader and work to get all the specialists in the five interior
integrities to work together. So many highly educated
people fail to recognize this and fail as entrepreneurs, or
never reach their true potential. They fail to speak all 8
languages and believe that the one specialty they are best at
