From Twitter:

mentorwerx: Focus isn't about doing what you 'have' to do. It's making sure you're doing the right things and learning to say no to the wrong ones.

mentorwerx: Developing a product & promoting it is not enough. You must develop a sales plan and sales activities to go with it or you won't get sales.

mentorwerx: You can think about 2 or 3 things at one time, but you can't focus on more than one. Give yourself permission to structure time for focus.

mentorwerx: Never underestimate the power of your mind. The subconscious stays focused when your conscious mind is distracted. So make a plan! It works.

mentorwerx: Your business culture shouldn't be an extension of a personality. It must be the character-forming principle that coheres the group.

mentorwerx: The biggest risk to a business is competitive risk - the risk that a competitor will make a more attractive offer to your best customers.

mentorwerx: What's your method of making your priorities and action items visible to you each day? People who have a good system for this get more done.

mentorwerx: Just because you forget something doesn't mean it's out of mind. Your mind subtly guides you toward your goals all the time. So set them!

mentorwerx: Personal biases about selling interfere with success. Uncover and address any sales baggage. A business cannot succeed without sales.

mentorwerx: @spclassiccookie Why thank you :).

mentorwerx: Our temptation is to view competitors with a critical eye. Try viewing them with an appreciative eye and see what new insights you gain.

mentorwerx: Sometimes the most powerful advice you can receive is the thoughtful elicitation of your own knowledge from a caring and curious observer.

A Support System

High performers tend to share one trait in common; they seek experienced mentors and take full advantage of the advice, encouragement, and training their mentors have to offer.

Martin Luther King Jr. had Mahatma Gandhi. John Cusak has Rob Reiner. Plato had Socrates. Henry David Thoreau had Ralph Waldo Emerson. Jim Collins had Peter Drucker.

Who do you have?

A Plan

Do you believe business success is mostly luck and some planning, or mostly planning with some luck? If you believe that good planning leads to luck, you’re half way to success.

What is your plan?

Relevant Knowledge

If you went to one of the big business schools, you’d find business knowledge is roughly the same from place to place. If you are planning to go into middle management at a Fortune 500 company, the way that knowledge is presented will be useful. You might even find a few good classes on entrepreneurship.

But you need business knowledge designed for small business owners.

Start Here

Owning a small business or working as an independent professional is tough. The excitement and fun are brief flashes between long days and worrisome nights. Self-doubt is a career hazard for the self-employed.

You went into business because you know some things better than anybody else. But as a business owner you are confronted with many things you don’t know or aren’t sure about.
