Here’s Jerry’s 3 rules of life, pretty simple… so lets add some business thinking points to it.

Print it, use it, tick things off as you do them, make notes, add to the list, include some of these points in your staff training and see what happens.

Thanks Jerry lets see what happens now…

Bust your ass…

• Work hard, work smart, if it’s not fun, do something else.
• Following your passion, you will then want to do the work, in fact the work will be so enjoyable it won’t seem like work, you will be early and rarely late….
• On something that will make a difference for more people than just you, you win they win.
• On being exceptional, who wants to be mediocre? Ok so lots of people do, but why do you have to be…
• Getting the next goal, and then the next, the journey of a thousand miles begins with that first step. The sense of achievement is a powerful drug.
• Providing what the market place wants, you will soon be happy with the sales, they will be happy you provided what they want and those that work with you will be happy you thought of it.
• Getting people to know about your business in the start up phase and then to come back for more of what you have, often.
• To influence others in your circle of influence to be exceptional at all they do.
• To surround yourself with great people who want to pass on great information you can all utilise.
• Living life to the full, when the show is over it’s over folks…

Pay attention…

• To the details so that you can understand the bigger picture from within. No point in having a business that no one knows what’s going on, especially you…
• To planning. No plan no house, it should be the same in business.
• To how you present what you have to the market place… Get great at marketing and sales, then do it with the rest of your team.
• To the way you learn, then you will be able to pay attention more effectively.
• To how others liearn, your role as a business leaer means you will probably do a fair bit of instructing on how things are done, so teach others in ways they prefer to be taught.
• To the way you communicate, so get very specific about what you communicate.
• To the way you listen… Be an attentive listener, that’s why you have two ears and one mouth.

Fall in love

• With what you do, how you do it how your team does it…
• With causing others to fall in love… with the job, the business, the customers, the service the products, their life, their significant others.
• With life. Life is what we do day to day so we should get great at loving it.
• With how others see the world. This level of fascination is from the old American Indian idea of “walking in another mans moccasins” it hlps to give us perspective.
• With the people you surround yourself with. Are they all lovable? Are they all worth fighting for?
• With the glory and beauty of nature. If the view is lousy, I wonder what you are looking at?
