Your reputation is for you to lose and to build on. We generally get one chance and if what we are offering suffers in quality, you have lost time and money. Also, you may not regain your reputation.
9. Companies over the past several years have had their pick of talent - too many people after too few jobs.
The winners have been problem solvers promoting instantaneous success. Understand the mentality of your client/customer. Deliver solutions not problems.
10. Put profitability first, rewards second. In small businesses, profitability must come first. Think cash flow.
11. Have strong Beliefs – know where you are going – have goals
12. Be an Optimist – be a positive role model - appreciate life
13. Relentless Preparation – answer the unanticipated, sense of calm with practice
14. Invest in Others – be a mentor - assist others without expecting anything in return.
15. Live in a State of Gratitude – 86,400 seconds in a day – how will you use this time? “It's not renewable”
16. Act rather than react – take action
17. Reinvent – do what you do and always have done – differently
The self employed and small businesses without employees are true entrepreneurs. They have broad shoulders and the federal government does not include US in national statistics nor do we really care. And, we certainly don’t seek 99 weeks of unemployment benefits. However, our actions have a significant impact on our economy. We don’t wait for the economy to get better; we start with ourselves to make changes – constantly to get better.
“A brighter future always changing but always brighter”
