9 Keys to Business & Career Success
I'm fortunate enough to know a number of remarkably successful people. Regardless of industry or profession, they all share the same perspectives and beliefs. And they act on those beliefs: 1. Time doesn't fill me. Deadlines and time frames establish parameters, but typically not in a good way. Forget deadlines, at least as a way to manage your activity. Average people allow time to impose its will on them; remarkable people impose their will on their time. 2. Some of your employees drive you nuts. You chose them. Think about the type of people you want to work with. Then change what you do so you can start attracting those people. Successful people are naturally drawn to successful people. 3. Dues aren't paid, past tense. No matter what you've done or accomplished in the past, you're never too good to roll up your sleeves, get dirty, and do the grunt work. Remarkably successful people never feel entitled--except to the fruits of their labor. 4. 5. Ask people why they have been successful.

Novelty seeking—getting bored easily and throwing yourself into new pursuits or activities - is often linked to gambling, drug abuse, attention deficit disorder, and leaping out of perfectly good airplanes without a parachute. But, according to Dr. Sounds like every successful entrepreneur I know. So go ahead - embrace your inner novelty seeker. 3. 4. 5. 6. Whatever. 7.
