After working directly with dozens of business owners and leaders in the trenches over the last 13 years I’ve noticed some key patterns that consistently lead to success.
Winners:
- Are solution-oriented
- Keep their head on a swivel
- Do the right thing
- Have a long-term vision
- Keep moving forward
- Assume responsibility
- Investment minded
- Value long-lasting relationships
Losers:
- Bitch, moan, complain
- Victim mentality
- Only think about themselves
- Looking for a quick buck
- Living in the past
- Feel helpless, blame others
- Just want the lowest price
- Turn and burn reputation
As a consultant with a boutique outfit, the biggest thing I’m listening for on the initial call is:
Am I speaking with a winner?
If yes, I’ll let them know that I am at their service.
Protect your time, surround yourself with winners, and reach up always.
