How to Ensure Business Survival
- There will be days when you want to give up. Just smile and keep on going-it will get better.
- A successful business is usually built on many small improvements over time.
- When the salesman says, “It’s now or never.” Always chose never.
- A check in the mail is not money in the bank. Do not be tempted to spend it until you get it.
- What works today might not work tomorrow.
- Every business is founded on sales. If you aren’t good at sales, then hire someone who is.
- If you want to have short meetings, don’t provide chairs.
- School is never out for the pro, when you are immature you are growing, and when you are ripe you are rotten.
- We live in a world of permanent change. Learn to embrace it.
- A big shot is nothing more than a little shot that just kept on shooting.
- All a individual achieves and all he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.
- Don’t quit your day job, until you know this new venture is working and has potential to gain revenue that flows to the bottom line.
- Money is never the sole source of happiness.
- There are 3 types of people: (1) Those who make it happen (2) Those who sit back and watch it happen (3) And those who wake up the next morning and say, “What in the world happened?”
- If you could kick the person responsible for most of your troubles, you wouldn’t be able to sit down for a week
- Never wrestle with a pig, you will both get dirty and pretty soon you will realize that the pig is enjoying it.
- Never argue with an idiot, people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
- The early bird catches the worm.
- Is it a bunch of noise? Or is it producing revenue and generating profit?
- Your business will become nothing more than a distinct reflection of who you are.
- What is common sense to you, may be absolute total genius to the rest of the people in the world.
