In meeting successful business people, it is obvious that they are committed, focussed and have a strong will. Additionally, there appears to be an unspoken business mindset that underlies the steps and actions they take to be a business success. Success, is of course, a very attractive addition to your persona and in some successful people acts like a magnet, drawing the right people to you at the right time for the perfect opportunities.
1.
Be
Committed to
your
Business.
Anything
worthwhile
involves
sacrifice.
What will
you give up?
Know that
you will do
what it
takes to
achieve a
successful
business
while taking
care of
yourself and
important
people such
as your
partner and
family,
along the
way.
2.
Be
Committed to
your Clients
Know that
you will do
what it
takes to
build a
long-lasting
and
sustainable
relationship
with your
clients.
And
‘relationship’
is the
operative
word.
3.
You
always
remember
that without
Clients, you
don’t have
a Business.
It’s that
old chicken
and egg
mystery,
isn’t it? For
you, your
clients have
always been
there, just
waiting for
you to get
it right.
4.
You
adopt a
“Stick
With It”
Attitude.
The best
business
achievers
have spent
years
focussed on
their
business,
developing
their market
and their
client base.
They’ve
gone through
the downs
and sailed
to the top
on the ups
of the
cycle.
Now, they
are
consistently
acting and
getting
consistent
results.
5.
To
Get (succeed
in your
business)
you have
to Give
First.
When you
give with a
sincere
desire to
help others,
that comes
across loud
and clear.
We all like
a giving
person,
because they
make us feel
better!
We
feel like
they are on
our side,
and
understanding
of our
needs.
Whatever you
give, you
will get
many times
over in
return.
6.
A
Business
Mindset
accepts
Business
Realities
Tax
payments,
GST, BAS,
accountant’s
fees,
staffing
costs,
training and
development
investments
(not seen as
expenses),
marketing
and
advertising,
and
associated
costs as a
necessary
part and
parcel of
the
business.
I doubt
anyone
really likes
these
expenses,
yet, when
you accept
them as
being part
of the
overall good
of your
business,
then you
make the
‘cost’
pill much
sweeter to
swallow.
7.
Be
a Leader!
A leader
adopts a
market-leader
attitude and
is
constantly
developing
her or
himself
through
education,
coaching and
training. They
may appear
to do it
alone, yet
there is
almost
always
someone in
the wings
providing
support or
timely
insights.
As well, the
leader must
plan and set
the vision
and get the
troops to
follow.
Without
vision, your
business is
aimless and
has hit and
miss goals.
8.
Clear
the Decks!
Be prepared
to have
little to do
with people
who pull you
down, in any
way shape or
form.
You
may find
that the
worst
offenders
are your
family!
The best way
to handle
this is to
stick to
topics of
conversation
that are
most
interesting
for the
other party
and avoid talking
about your
business
success.
Many
Australians
still
espouse
“tall
poppy”
beliefs, that
can
undermine
your focus,
if you let
it.
9.
Hold
Firmly to a
Positive
Outlook!
There are
always
positives
about every
situation.
Even the
worst
situation
has
potential
for someone,
so laugh at
it, even if
you’re
having
trouble.
10.
Be
Totally
Honest!
Be prepared
to
communicate
honestly and
with maximum
attention to
the feelings
of your clients.
If
this is
difficult,
get training
in rapport
skills and
practice
them with
sensitivity
and
understanding.
When
it comes
down to it,
soft skills
such as
listening
ability,
communication,
and problem
solving, are
the real
skills
because your
goods and
products are
bought by
real people.
