We have all heard about the Seven Wonders of the World. Can you name them? Today there are so many things that the discussion gets wide open very quick. I have way more than seven and they cross over from ancient to modern and even man made. I will give you my top seven and then move on to what I consider the seven wonders of the business world.
The Great Pyramids in Egypt.
The Great Wall of China.
The Grand Canyon
The Internet
The Dead Sea
The Rain Forest
The Northern Lights
I know I left out some of your favorites, but I did say I had a lot more than seven but these are my top seven. In business I also believe that there are seven wonders of successful business people. Yes there are more but if you key on just these seven you will be great in everything you do in business and in life. Each one can be expanded to encompass even more areas.
Integrity- Be honest and trustworthy in all your dealings!
Customer First- Put the customer's needs above yours, always!
Do It- If you said you would do it, then get it done.
Innovate- Get out there on the leading edge and be creative.
Chose a Mentor- Find someone who will be honest and critical of you.
Give Back- Volunteer and get involved in your community.
Listen and Learn- Always try to learn something new and listen to the market and your customers. The business man who listens has an edge on the competition and you always need to be educating yourself so you can keep your customers and employees up to date on the market and the product you sell. If you think you've heard or learned it all, I have one more lesson for you. Failure!
Don't get me wrong there are many more things that can make a business succeed, but they generally come from the foundation of these seven things. If you can make the seven things above into habits you will be amazed at the success your company can and will have.
