Integrating and the nitty-gritty details
So often we become so excited about completing a project we overlook the nitty-gritty details and integrating, my friends, the nitty-gritty details and integrating is often what separates a successful person and an unsuccessful person. The understanding begins by us shrinking money and power far, far below the great concentrations of corporate structures, shrinking far away from all the plush offices of the presidents, shrinking out of the office buildings, and going out into the streets. By providing a microscope on the raw enterprise structure in our streets, one can focus beneath its few simple layers of money, success, and power.
One can see beneath the factories, past the department stores and all the fast-food chains down to the simile array of the street vendors. And finally, we can reduce the vendor's microcosm of money and power to the smallest and simplest money-producing unit, the self-owned, one man, one-cart business. My friends, from those beginnings, from that entrepreneurial atom emerges the true understanding, the indisputable core of anyone producing money and power. From a candy vendor on the streets of Boston to the presidents of corporate America one hundred stories above.
Let us now focus on the nature of making money by putting a microscope on the smallest, simplest, money making unit, the one man, one cart business, If we will focus, we can see that to make money, the small one man, one cart, business requires deceivingly complex integrating and taking care of the nitty-gritty details. The street vendor selling his homemade candy, must develop and then produce the candy, he must purchase all the equipment and the supplies, he must attend to the maintenance of his equipment, he must keep track of the money, account for profit and loss, provide the service with his one man push cart.
Handle operations of inventory and the sales, advertise (yell), market his product by determining the best places and time to sell, being creative perhaps through appetite designs on his cart or maybe through special fans designed to blow the sweet candy aroma in the faces of passersby, and he must apply his crude form of research and development in order for him to continually discourage or beat his competition. To be successful, to grow into a mighty empire, the entrepreneur cannot only be a secret ingredient developer, just a shrewd negotiator, or just a money wist accountant, just a tip-top service man or a marketing expert, He must be everything, he must integrate everything, he must do all the netty-gritty details.
As his business grows and brings in more money, workers, products, and markets, his need to integrate will grow. For him to become successful, and wealthy, he must successfully integrate everything into smooth control from the distribution system of his candy, to the cleanliness of his workers carts to the secret ingredient of his chocolate, my friends, doing the nitty-gritty details and integrating in our business as enterprises is a must.

I get the idea and the concept. It is a certainty of reality. However, one must first begin.
The on-man one cart business did not just suddenly appear. The proprietor had an idea, a conceptual beginning of what he wanted to do. He discovered, through exposure to other street vendors, how they did it, what steps they went through to start up. He followed their "roadmap". Bought the same kind of street cart, looked around for the best places for high traffic count, discovered what regulations may impact him. the he had to produce the product he wanted to see on the street. the he had to take it out and try it. If it worked, he was gong forward and learning to change and modify his products, his sales area his pitch for customers. He attended to the details, as you say, and he integrated the lessons he learned from others.
If one were to just jump in without any knowledge or insight or training, they would likely fail from the jump. Integrating comes in the form of lessons learned. If you integrate he good and successful lessons and stay away from the bad ones, f you lear from your own stakes, you are gong to be a success.....at anything, baseball, soccer, hot dog sales on the street, MLM, or even online marketing. JMHO.
