Here are a dozen of the ideas I shared with business owners this week.
- Be quick to forgive. While you’re holding a grudge, they’re out dancing.
- Either you run your day or the day will run you.
- Following the crowd is almost always the wrong thing to do. Warren Buffett made billions by zigging when the others were zagging.
- No excuse ever sounded as good as: “It’s completed, on time, as promised”.
- Avoid negative people. They sap your energy.
- If you don’t make a decision, time will make the decision for you.
- Intelligent action is the cure for every business challenge.
- A thousand great business ideas are no match for a lousy attitude.
- A prospective client can find 20 alternatives to you, in seconds, on a search engine. Embrace what makes you unique.
- Always leave the people you connect with, better than when you found them.
- Fire your worst clients. You’ll be free to invest the time you wasted on them, doing better work for your amazing clients. This works surprisingly well as a business growth strategy.
- In business, the winners get moving.
If you found these ideas useful, use them and share them.
