  1. A leader's job is to achieve, communicate, and model clarity of purpose, strategy & goals, which enables one to lead from behind.
  2. The irony? We only control some things, yet are ultimately responsible for all things. Love, faith, discipline, even life - all are choices.
  3. RT @mentorwerx: It's hard to see something you're not looking for. Opportunity and creativity are frequently missed that way.
  4. It takes skill to develop your business strategy in advance. It takes wisdom and experience to adjust to outside forces day by day.
  5. Negative vs positive is false. Be pessimistic to set boundaries, realistic to set goals, then wildly optimistic to energize & achieve.
  6. A "nobody's perfect" mindset is deadly in business. Ask instead "how close can we get to perfection?" Successful businesses get really close
  7. Besides EQ & IQ, most people need more PQ. Perspective is a powerful focusing agent. Learn to see things from the other's point of view.
  8. Logic is the purview of science. Business is about psychology. Use logic to improve your plans, then embrace messy humanity to enact them.
  9. If you ask WHY before deciding what, who, how, or when, you will come up with a stronger answer every time. WHY is the essence of strategy.
  10. Selling is a thinking and listening activity. Think about who will benefit from your offer, find them, listen to their objections, refine.
  11. Hurtling through the day without time to think? Stop. Write down your objectives, solutions, or ideas. Clear writing forces clear thinking.
  12. The biological/chemical world deeply respects process, and process out-of-control = disease. Business people are wise to learn from nature.
  13. The desire to move fast often slow us down. Planning costs much less than implementing. Thinking is hard work. Plan hard, implement smart.
  14. Different business models = different strategies. Compete on value, not price, and you won't end up cheapening your primary offering.
  15. When seeking to establish cash control in your business, remember there are 2 components: "cash," and "control." Do both, or don't profit.
  16. At the heart of each business problem is an innovation straining to get out. Embrace problems to understand both scope and substance.
  17. Taking time to think is neither a frivolity nor a luxury. It is a necessity. One cannot expect profit to follow thoughtless decision-making.
  18. I'll be on BlogTalk Radio with Jay Whaley today at 3:00 Pacific. Come join in! http://is.gd/3QvL9.
  19. Recovery suggests a return to how things were, which isn't likely to happen. Seek the new normal, find it before your competitors, & thrive.
  20. @aflyonthewall No problem!! I think you're a saint for keeping us all so well informed. Such a tiny mistake for such a big job.
