1. Have passion for your business
Work should be fun. Your passion will help you overcome
difficult moments and persuade people to work for you and want to do
business with you. Passion can't be taught. When it wanes, as it surely
will in difficult times, take some quiet time. Whether it be an hour or a
week, take inventory of all the reasons you started the business and
why you like being your own boss. That should renew your passion.
2. Set an example of trustworthiness
People have confidence in trustworthy individuals and want
to work for them in a culture of integrity. The same is true for
customers.
3. Be flexible, except with core values
It's a given that your plans and strategies will change as
time goes on. This flexibility for rapid change is an inherent advantage
of small over large business. However, no matter the pressure for
immediate profits, do not compromise on core values.
5. Make timely decisions
It's okay to use your intuition. Planning and thought are good. But procrastination leads to missed opportunity.
6. The major company asset is you Take care of yourself. Your health is more valuable than the most expensive machinery or computer software for the company. You don't have to choose between your family or your company, play or work. Maintain your health for balance and energy, which will, in turn, enhance your mental outlook.
7. Keep your ego under control Don't take profits and spend them on expensive toys to impress others. Build a war chest for unexpected needs or opportunities. This also means hearing out new ideas and suggestions no matter how crazy they sound.
