Description
Making It in America: A Blueprint for Success
Everyone knows you can't build things in America anymore. Everyone, that is, except John D. Bassett III. While one corporation after another exported their manufacturing to high-volume factories in low-wage locations overseas, Bassett's traditional wood bedroom furniture manufacturing company has not only survived but thrived making premium products right here in America.
The Secrets of Success
In his book, Making It in America, John D. Bassett III shares the secrets that have made Vaughan-Bassett Furniture so successful against all odds. Drawing on his rich life experience and the challenges of running a traditional manufacturing company, Bassett constructs a 12-point plan for achieving successful leadership in any business.
One of the key elements of this plan is having a winning attitude. Bassett emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself and having the courage to take risks. He also stresses the value of respecting employees and treating them as partners rather than mere workers. By fostering a positive and supportive work environment, Bassett has created a team of dedicated individuals who are proud to contribute to the success of the company.
Another crucial aspect highlighted in the book is the need to reinvest constantly. Bassett believes in the power of innovation and continuous improvement. By reinvesting in research and development, technology, and employee training, he has been able to stay ahead of the competition and maintain a high standard of quality in his products.
A Blueprint for American Revitalization
Bassett's story goes beyond his personal success. He sees his achievements as a blueprint for revitalizing America itself. In a time of feckless leadership, crumbling infrastructure, and global competition, Bassett believes that America can regain its position as the leader of the free world by embracing the principles that have guided his own success.
He argues that by fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, investing in infrastructure and education, and supporting American businesses, we can create an environment that encourages growth and prosperity for all. By debunking the notion that manufacturing in America is no longer viable, Bassett offers hope and inspiration to those who are willing to seize the opportunities that exist in our own backyard.
Conclusion
Making It in America is not only a success story, but a call to action. John D. Bassett III urges us to believe in ourselves, invest in our people, and rediscover the power of American ingenuity. By following his 12-point plan for successful leadership, we can not only achieve personal success but contribute to the revitalization of our great nation.
