First, let me give credit to the source of this…and this is why you have to love social networking! I saw it on LinkedIn Today’s News which took me to Business Insider which credits the original source, Dumb Little Man. Talk about having legs. This post may never have gotten the attention/traffic without the power of social networks. Still not a believer in social? Imagine what it could do to give you and/or your business a wider audience?
1. Less Talk, More Action
“Well done is better than well said.”
2. Don’t Procrastinate
“Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
3. Be Prepared
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
4. Don’t Fight Change
5. Get Moving
“All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.”
6. Avoid Busywork
7. Give Yourself Permission to Make Mistakes
8. Act Quickly on Opportunities
9. Continue to Grow
10. Keep Going
11. Know Yourself
12. Don’t Self-Sabotage
13. Don’t Give Up
14. Wise Up
