How to run a successful business

TIP

Don’t be afraid to fail. Failure helps you identify weaknesses, gain new perspective, and think innovatively. Think of failure as just one step on the road to success.

TIP

Spend more time working on your business and less time working in your business. Delegate tasks to trusted employees; both they and you will benefit.

TIP

You are smart, but not as smart as the collective wisdom of your customers and employees. Talk to them often, and inform yourself.
