I hope you enjoy this Breakdown of Costco.įor the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page here. I'll then talk to Chris about Costco's growing international opportunities and the lessons that operators and investors can take away from studying the business and founder Jim Sinegal. The more I practice this, the more focused I become, and actually, the more disciplined I become. Relaxation is known to boost creativity, so you should try activities that are relaxing. Actions that require full concentration, such as jumping rope or knitting, can also be ideas for improving your focus. Setting aside time for meditation will help you focus. It feels so good to get task after task off my plate. Like everything else, improving your concentration requires training. Remember, you can only keep so many plates spinning. In this Breakdown, we'll start with Zack by diving into the Costco business model, examining the relentless focus on efficiency that separates Costco from its peers, and exploring the secrets behind its private label brand, Kirkland. Something I’ve been really driving home with myself is just focusing on one thing, and getting it done completely. Chris is President and Chief Investment Officer of Semper Augustus Investments Group and a long-time shareholder in Costco. Zack is an investor at Continental Grain, a 200-year old family-owned business that is focused on investing and operating businesses throughout the food and agriculture ecosystem with assets across the US, Latin America, and Asia. To help me break down Costco, I talked to both Zack Fuss and Chris Bloomstran. To me, Costco is the best example of doing one thing for customers and getting better at it constantly for decades.
