  1. Build your business as if you are building a highway or railroad. Reserve the right of way today for things you want to build in the future.
  2. Have you identified how each strategic goal is achieved through customer-specific activity, and if your operations are up to the challenges?
  3. Business knowledge (any knowledge really) follows the laws of physics. What is in motion stays in motion. What is stopped is passed by.
  4. You would work less with greater results if you did the most important things first. Do you know what the most important things are?
  5. Most mistakes could be avoided with a little more research. Ask questions, examine biases, read, listen, think. We are all capable of this.
  6. Negotiation is not about competing proposals. It's about knowing what you want, learning what the other wants, & finding a way to do both.
  7. Core capabilities + competitive opportunity + emerging market conditions + what I really want to do = insights for a compelling strategy.
  8. In a world of instant gratification, the concepts of "greater good" and "long term benefits" are often forgotten. Remember them.
  9. Most stressors are largely within your control. Make a list of your worries. Note what % of each situation you control. Plan accordingly.
  10. Every career should meet financial, intellectual, creative, identity, & future planning needs. How does yours stack up? To know is to grow.
  11. Conflicting conditions are a path to opportunity. Examine all conflicts with an open mind to see what new ideas emerge.
  12. Nothing is more expensive than inadequate free advice nor as valuable as experienced insight. Carefully qualify your sources of information.
  13. Be in full command of the numbers of your business. The numbers tell an important story, and those who can read it write powerful endings.
  14. @RonaldWilsher Definitely! Nice thought for the day. Because no other can diminish us - only the self can diminish the self.
  15. RT @mentorwerx: Everything you've accomplished so far is a result of your hopes+your plans+your fears. Spend more time hoping & planning!
  16. The internet is rife with Boone's Farm in goblets. Put social media - and its potential & pitfalls - into perspective. http://is.gd/Pp7F
  17. What matters to customers more - relevance or innovation? If you must choose, relevance matters more. But why choose? Do both.
  18. Consider any specific barriers to being your customer which, if removed, would create a new class of users of your product.
  19. Are you downward price cycling, or bucking trends & adding value? One leads to disaster, the other success. Read it here - http://is.gd/Nh48
  20. What can you do that locks customers in while locking competitors out? The answer to this is the answer to business success.
