Seven Core Business Priciples
Growing a successful business can be achieved with seven core principles, whether it is small family fun business or a Fortune 500 global company. These foundation principles stand the test of time which make them timeless. A successful business must have great leaders and great leaders often have these seven core principles that we will describe.
1) Curiosity. Strong leaders have a child-like curiosity to their life and their work. This curiosity drives these leaders to constantly look for new ways to look at problems and an insatiable knowledge to learn.
2) Try, try, try… even if you fail keep on trying new ways to attack problems. You learn from experience so don’t be afraid to “take the shot.” Also, when you fail, and you will fail, have the courage to learn from that mistake and don’t make the same mistake twice.
3) Use you God given senses to experience life to it’s fullest. The smell of a crisp autumn night, the wonder you feel when you see Yellowstone for the first time, the amazing taste a glass of fresh squeezed lemonade after a a long hot Summer run. When you pay attention to your senses you begin to pick up on the subtleties of life which can help you learn and grow. 4) Embrace change and the complexities of life. Change is life and life is change so embrace it.
5) Learn to use your whole brain. You are not a left or right brain thinking person, you have the ability to be a complete well rounded person who is an artist, scientist, business person, etc.
6) Mind-Body-Spirit. Keep your body well fed with wholesome foods. Get plently of exercise and sleep and lastly have that spiritual connection. 7) Everything you do in life and business is somehow connected. We are all connected is some way and having that macro view of knowing that can help you reveal new ideas to grow your business.
