Do You Practice These Success Tips?
Information Strategies, Inc., recently released the results of a survey that asked 200 home-based business owners what it takes to run a successful enterprise.
Two of the practices uncovered in the survey that I follow without fail are:
“Thou shall make friends with all delivery, service personnel. Treat them as valued suppliers and earn extra services and support in times of need.”
I receive many packages through the major shipping carriers. The drivers know me by name and treat my packages with care because of the manner in which I greet and share information with them. They know a lot more than delivery routes, and their insights often uncover leads.
“Thou shall dress for business every day. Many home-based business owners become lax in their dress and that can lead to lax practices.”
When I started working for myself, I vowed to dress every day because my office environment deserves the same respect I once gave to an employer. I admit that I slip on some days because I’m anxious to get the work done. Yesterday was one of those days.
Each of these traits leads to establishing smart marketing practices, as they focus on growing successful businesses. Is there a habit you live by that increases your overall success?
