John Schnatter was a 15- year old kid who went from being a dishwasher to a pizza maker in a small sub shop. Now anything is better than washing dishes for a buck right? So Schnatter took to learning how to make pizzas right away to show his boss that he deserved a promotion and away from dish washing.
Today Papa John's Pizza is one of the largest pizza franchises in the world. Below is Schnatter's "Do's and Dont's" to building a strategy to being successful at whatever endeavor you may pursue.
DO...
Love what you do. "If you have a passion and you're proud of it, you will do a good job."
Be the best in your class and offer the best product. "We want to be the best pizza delivery company in the world and we think we can."
Teach people leadership. "It is very fulfilling to watch people grow," says Schnatter.
DON'T...
Give up too early.
Be afraid the confront the facts (especially the ugly ones) and tackle challenges.
Be arrogant. "When companies start to fall apart it's because they think they're smarter, they're not open and they don't watch trends," Schnatter says.
