Number 1, we all think we have something special that we bring when we go into business.I started a successful business years ago and I watched what my competition was doing used their good points and avoided their weak points. The only thing that was noticeably differant was was willing to bust my butt for the customer. I worked extra hours and carried out product for the customers myself and so did my staff. We succeeded, but also involved was luck. Lot's of luck. On the internet. I still have that will to bust my butt, but there is no way to show that. The other points were right on. I opened that business with one foot out the door. I had failed before and believed if we lost money one month, we would prepare to close down.Today, there is no way to make money out of the shoot in this business, and one has to be prepared to wait for that return. That is it. Good article, but I can’t totally agree.

You can't be successful online without doing the hard work or hiring someone else to do it for you and cutting corners doesn't cut it...

Its all good but I know that these two have made a difference in my business. When I was scatterbrained and never focused I seemed to just tread water. Once I had laser target focused my productivity sky rocketed. Trusting my team took for ever for me to do....but then one day I realized the purpose of hiring them was to relieve my workload and be more productive. Once I trusted things sky rocketed! I would love to ad a number 10. Dont take on a customer just for the paycheck....when I began to look at every customer that approached me and thoroughly evaluate if I can truly help them with their needs thats when things changed for me even more. Why take on a client if you know you will never make them happy. Taking on clients that you know you will satisfy will grow your business exponentially faster than you can realize. Take on clients just because its money in the bank will kill your business for sure! Thanks for this great post!

I like the straight-forward points, none of this sugar-coated crap that a lot of 'gurus' dish out to make their customers feel good about themselves. I noticed a couple of people didnt like this post, I personally thought it was a great addition to the rest of them! This is brilliant information!

I appreciate #9 (you've never experienced failure) and this is huge. Every failure is a learning lesson, and brings you 1 step closer to your goal. Knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing what to, and I recently read a book called 'Why People Fail' by Siimon Reynolds (highly recommended) which elaborates on what mistakes to avoid - and HOW.
