Priceless
Advice
If
you are getting on your 1st vehicle to success in your 20’s, shifting gears in
your 40’s or changing vehicles in your 50’s this recipe may be helpful to you. There
has never been a better time to become what you were meant to be. The
principles of success in the new economy are the same ones that worked in
previous economies. Read, reflect, apply, and profit from today’s nuggets.
1. Own the
right business.
Owning the right business
asset is the key to personal freedom. The right business asset is the one that
provides income without you being there tending the shop.
2. Define what
you want out of your business and life.
This is the most important
step that most people bypass or totally overlook. The mission and vision come
from a deep desire to make a difference in the lives of others. Find your deep
desires and from them will spring your purpose.
3. Invest in
your personal leadership development.
This is the investment that
all others investments depends on. Never shortchange your personal development.
4. Become
highly educated about money and finances.
Get out of debt and stay out
of debt. Debt in most cases is stupid. Be financially fit.
5. Leverage
technology.
The internet is a powerful
tool to do business. Leverage the power of being a fast fish in a big pond.
6. Leverage
direct distribution.
Direct to consumer is the
way to go. Wanting to become a dinosaur by following the same route will
endanger you then make you extinct.
7. Be mobile.
Build it from home, from
anywhere to everywhere. Use the bazooka before you use the riffle.
8. Leverage a
proven system.
A proven system produces
predictable performance. Learn a proven system first, and then make changes to
make it better.
9. Find the
right mentors.
Work with mentors that have
been successful. Follow their advice and footsteps. Find successful people in your fiend of endeavor and
learn from them. Apply what you learn, do what they did, and success will come
to you as well.
10.
Build and strengthen relationships.
The speed of your business
is based on the speed of trust of your relationships. Be patient as it may take
longer than you expect at first but Godspeed comes later.
Thank
you for reading and reflecting on today’s nuggets. Share them with others.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others
