Dan's TIPS
Manage Your Schedule
To use your time effectively plan out your priorities daily and list them on a sheet of paper. Buy a planner. Schedule phone calls as if they were meetings. Leaving your schedule to memory can cause important items to fall through the cracks.
Lose Titles, Gain Respect
Often folks in positions of power think that by using titles they get more respect. Since growing a business involves teamwork, being a part of the team is essential. Relating to others on a first name basis helps build trust, respect, and leadership.
Stop, Look Deeply, And Listen Intensely
Spend some time observing, listening and feeling out how others deal with evolving business situations. A wise person once told me, "The brilliant person learns from their mistakes, the genius learns from the mistakes of others!"
Find Yourself A Mentor
It always helps to get the views of others. Having a mentor means getting knowledge from someone who's been there. Find someone who has worked in your field, business or company for many years. This person can be older, younger or the same age as you, it doesn't matter, it's the experience that counts. Make sure that both of you are willing to spend meaningful time together on a regular basis. Be prepared with questions, ideas and information. Both of you should find the situation rewarding and invigorating. Gaining wisdom, experience, interaction and knowledge is worth the effort.
Make Sure You Have A Solid Professional Infrastructure
When setting up your business it's wise to work with a good lawyer and accountant. Their advice can save you time, money and headaches. And leave you free to be the entrepreneur you want to be.
Have A Clear Perspective Of Who You Are
Make sure you take a step back when it comes to building a business or career. Taking on more than you can handle or performing tasks you know others can handle more proficiently usually leads to poor results. When you have the ability to admit to yourself what you can and cannot do effectively and efficiently you'll be able to grow. One of the elements of successful management is based on knowing when and who to delegate to.
Network, Network Again, And Network Some More
Building a solid client and referral base takes consistantly getting out there and letting people know who you are and what you do.
Join business associations, networking groups, chambers of commerce and other organizations that enable you to meet new and familiar people on a constant basis.
