6-21-12 Commitment: an essential quality for a successful business

There are lots of marketing tools that can help build a business, but, in my opinion, nothing is as important as having a true commitment to the value of what you’re offering.  It also helps if a business owner maintains a passion about the business to which they are committed.

One of the best local examples of commitment is Moonraker Books in Langley.  Josh Hauser, and her recently deceased husband, Glenn opened Moonraker Books at 209 First Street 40 years ago.

I asked Josh what created the commitment to this business and she quickly responded, “I love people and I love books, and when I can have them together in one spot, I’m in heaven.”

Patricia Duff, a wonderful writer, did a great story, “40 and still fabulous at Moonraker,” that was published in the South Whidbey Record on June 13, 2012.   

The story is a great read about someone who had the courage to start a business, and also had the commitment to keep it going,  Check out Patricia's story in the South Whidbey Record.
