Domain Competency

If you’re in X business, do you know more about X than anyone around?

Is your X manager highly competent in running an X department?

Shouldn’t you and your people really know your stuff?

Working hard

It’s part of succeeding, but it’s not the secret.  If it were, there would be a hell of a lot of wildly successful people out there.

So if the secret is not working hard, it’s something else then.

Right?

Some people need you

Not everyone does.  But some do. 

How are you finding them amongst the rest? How are you reaching out to them? What message are you giving them?

Packaging

All information is out there.  It’s just a matter of how it’s packaged, for whom, and how it’s delivered.

How are you packaging your “stuff”?

Get it when you can

Can you summon the right resources to take advantage of opportunities when they arise?

The difference between lettuce and garbage is timing.

Plan ahead.

The journey IS the destination

If you think success is a place you get to one day – sorry.  It’s not.

It’s all about the ride.  This day.  And tomorrow it will be another day – that day, too.

How are you making your ride?

The COOL shall inherit the earth

Any business can be done in a cool way.

Is your business COOL?

Stress is a Funsucker

It’s the gap between the demands on you and your ability to meet those demands as fast as they come.

So either reduce the demands on yourself (delegate, lighten your load, get help, stop doing some stuff, let things go), or increase your ability to meet them (learn what you need to, make the decisions).

Stress is not good for you.  Don’t mess with it. 

Take charge, and get it off you.

Take care of yourself

It takes good health to be an entrepreneur.

Don’t forget to care for you.

Sell your salespeople

When two people meet, the one who is MORE convinced will eventually win over the one who is LEAST convinced.

Are your salespeople TOTALLY convinced?
