Small business
success is very similar to learning to walk, talk
and spell. The basics have to be understood before moving on
to
the next step. I am blessed to have twin 2 year old girls in
my life and am amazed constantly how much I learn from them
on
a daily basis. As I watch them run around and explore, I
find
myself realizing just how much my observations apply to
being
successful and happy in life and in business.
So take heart in the following tips – they may come from
little
people but they have the power of giants. To your happiness
and
your success !
1. No matter how small you are you can change lots of lives
-
your goal for starting your business should be to change
lives in one way or another. Remember this in everything
you do - how can I change my customers lives ?
2. Climb that wall - no matter how big the wall is -
persistence
pays off in the end. Never give up on your dreams and keep
on
trying.
3. Times when you appear small and frail are when you can
surprise everyone with your hidden strengths. Everyone in
business pays attention to what the big boys are doing and
how they became successful. What they miss though is the
small businesses that quietly make substantial profits every
year. These companies go about their business quietly and
draw attention from the customers - not the competition.
4. Act like a silly goof whenever and wherever you want –
people
will never forget you - and that is what every business
owner
should dream of - sticking in everyone’s mind.
5. Remember to share – People can get very protective of
what
they learn and how they achieve success. When you have
something of value that would benefit others – share ! IT
will come back to you one hundred fold . You do have your
rights also - protect what is not to be shared and make
sure others know it is yours and yours only.
6. Run naked every once in a while. Well ok, you don’t have
to
be naked but run – have fun, be free and try to be a kid
again. Having kids gives you that chance again and it is
incredible to relive the fun that you used to have – when
you weren’t so serious about life and business.
7. Lay back on the grass and watch the clouds go by whenever
you
have a chance. Reflection and relaxation can be one of the
most powerful combinations that you can ask for in your
personal and business success – use it !
8. Put on a fancy hat - dress up for the day. Nothing can
make
you feel like a new person more than a complete change in
clothing. Wear something you usually would not wear – or
something you have always wanted to wear but were afraid to.
In business this one little point can make you stand out
from
all of the rest. Wear a tacky tie, or a purple shirt, or a
new hat every day – your customers will never forget you.
9. Silence is not always a good thing. Usually it means
something big is brewing and trouble is near. If you find
too many of your competitors are quiet or your clients are
quieter than usual – figure out why ! Something serious
could be happening out there and you better find out what
it is.
10. Find some sand and let your toes dig in. Sand has an
amazing soothing quality to it. If you do not have sand
near your house or business – go buy a bag of sand at your
local garden center and put it in a small box you can dip
your feet in. Try this when you are working on a tough
problem – new ideas will pop into your head in no time.
