Sometimes, something is worth repeating. As I begin to engage again on the Insights blog, I'm giving much thought to how I want to look at it all. A few years ago, I was asked to speak at a club for young businessmen.
As part of my presentation, I delivered my "Ten Keys to
Success". Here they are for your reading pleasure:
DO WHAT YOU LOVE –
Be
thankful for the opportunity you have to do what you love.
Don't compare your life to
others.
INTEGRITY-
Do what you say
you will do.
Be the same person everywhere you go.
THINK BEFORE SPEAKING AND LISTEN WELL –
In
every situation. The lack of words can be as negatively impacting as
the wrong words said at the wrong time.
BE HONEST-
Speak the truth
kindly. Don't lie and don't change the story depending on the hearer and how it will
benefit you.
WORK HARD –
Don't just work hard when people
are watching.
ADMIT YOUR MISTAKES-
Don't
dwell on them. Apologize if necessary and move on.
MANAGE YOUR TIME WELL –
There's much to do
and limited hours in which to do it.
Set your priorities.
TREAT OTHERS WELL AND
INVEST IN THEM-
This includes not being threatened by their success but instead
helping work toward it.
THINK CREATIVELY-
Don't always do things the way
they have been done.
Think new thoughts, try new ideas.
HAVE FUN! -
Life goes by
so quickly! Enjoy it!
