Plain Talk From Ed Lowe

Share List
Edward Lowe Foundation > Plain Talk From Ed Lowe

During his life, Ed used “plain talk” to speak about the bottom line from the bottom of his heart. We believe these articles, which have been updated after his death, offer value for both your business and personal life.

Heart and soul

  To score success, you must be willing to make mistakes
  You set the pace for employees
  Treat your best employees like you can’t live without them
  Start with your head, leave with your heart
  Remember what business you’re in
  Weigh the mail before you make decisions

Learning how to focus

  When a cow chases you…
  Never call time out when you’re winning
  If you don’t love it, you’ll probably leave it
  Remember what business you’re in
  To score If you can’t be a fox, be a junkyard dog
  Never invest in anything that needs paint
  The window of opportunity begins with a peephole
  Shore up your tunnel of opportunity

Remain grounded

  Don’t get too big for your britches
  Pondering: going one-on-one with yourself
  Don’t forget where you came from
  Feed the cat first
  Advertising is a reminder

A legacy of entrepreneurial impact and land stewardship
