The 10 principals to grow good business and good karma!
1- Do not associate yourself with toxic people! Even if they are your friends! Toxic people have constant negativity, chronical whining and love to burst your positive bubble. You can't change or save them but they can make you fail...
2- Find instead great mentors to create a positive support system. Choose extremely experienced or talented individuals with established track records to help you overcome mental barriers, solve problems and stimulate you. This is the power of association!
3- If you are considering a partnership, ensure you discuss your exit strategy before you do anything. Depending on how emotional the discussion gets you will have a good idea if this partnership will work. The difficulty to reach a compatible solution may give you a hint not to pursue the partnership all together.
4- Be persistent. Constant efforts lead to measurable results. The best examples are Olympic athletes and successful sales people. Do every day, communicate all the time and growth will take place.
5- to move forward. Dump the "it is not my fault" and the "poor me" attitudes or you will never enjoy real joy in your life.
6- Choose wisely. You are the master of your own destiny. Take time to think ahead before making a decision. Impulsive business actions may lead to difficult results.
7- Be a person of integrity. Trust allows you to do better business with everyone. Make your words mean commitment.
8- Do what you love with passion and excellence and the money will follow.
9- Ask for written endorsements. Good testimonials from respectable sources are powerful to get more business.
10- Write down your goals as if they were happening right now and keep them with you. Revise them regularly.
