In business nothing is ever the same as in life. Employees come and go. Clients and customer come and go. Partnerships are built and they dissolve, etc.
It has been my experience that successful people are those that are comfortable being uncomfortable. They are willing to meet challenges heads on because they look at challenges as opportunities to become better. And if nothing else they know that if they don’t meet the challenges head on the consequences could be severe.
The ability to step into challenges and PERSEVERE on through to the other side is a trait required to be successful in business.
Your brand in business is defined by your ability to follow through on your word and your commitments. Be of your word always. Show the marketplace that you're consistent and worth doing business with. Deliver at all costs. Lead with truth and always be transparent especially when things get tough.
Be mindful of who you work with and how you present yourself in the marketplace. Be found spotless and blameless. Keep your hands clean. Focus on providing value to the marketplace. Associate with positivity.
Giving "Thanks" is a foundational component of being a successful individual. Create opportunities throughout the day to reflect on what you are thankful for.
Go far by surrounding yourself with "good people" and seek to be a good person in return.
We all have limitations. The go further, faster you must focus on your strengths. That means you need to build a team of people that can off set your limitations for you so you can spend your time on what you do best.
Knock on every door, ring every door bell and be ready to go when the door opens. Never quit!
If you want to ensure quality across the board then get clear on what your "standards" are. Make them known, then live by them.
Leaders exemplify similar qualities. If you're a leader or looking to move into a leadership position then ask yourself which of these qualities you posses and which to need to work on.
Life is short. If you don't take the time out to celebrate your wins, they will lose meaning over time. It's not all grind and hustle. There comes a time where you need to step back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Not every investment needs to be held on to. Something are better walked away from. Having the knowledge and wherewithal of knowing when to hold or when to fold will serve you immensely.
The goal is to maximize the capacity within ourselves and cultivate the best in others. This can only be accomplished if we treat each other like equals.
Do you have a "North Star" that guides your steps and decision? Get clear on what your north star is and then follow the path.
Respect is the name of the game. Give it, earn it, maintain it. Respect the game. Respect others. Respect yourself.
Approach you tasks, work, life with the north star of "Finishing Well". It's easy to get started but requires grit and determination to finish well.
We all can use someone who has treaded down the path before us. Find a guide to learn from. Leverage the experience of others to make you stronger, smarter and more strategic on your path to success.
There is power in the circle. Who you let into your circle will determine how far you go. Be intentional and make a choice about who you let into your circle. #mentorship #leadership #entrepreneurship #entrepowerment
The name of the game in business is "ethics". Use your internal moral compass as a guide through your entrepreneurial journey. Take the high road. If something seems off and you don't feel right about the situation, then find a situation that does feel right and step into that 100%.
Health is WEALTH. Health is a critical component to enjoying life and staying focused. Be intentional with taking care of your mind, body and spirit and they will take care of you.
Push "No People" out of your orbit. Adopt a "yes" attitude in life. Step into challenges and opportunities and be better for it.
