In Support of “Lying,
Cheating, and Stealing” to Grow Your Business.
Welcome to another year and another fresh
start on your business and personal goals and dreams.
Never forget exactly why you started
your business. I am convinced that no one starts an enterprise with
aspirations of being a slave to that business. We all want a business
that “works for us.”
Maybe it is time we turn to “lying,
cheating, and stealing” to grow your business this year.
I have heard different versions of this
phrase at different times but I wanted to add my own spin to it as it applies
to aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners everywhere.
- Lying:
Lie in bed and
dream again. We all had dreams as adolescents and young adults and then
we got involved getting a job or starting a business to start a business to pay
ours and our families bills.
- Cheating:
Cheat yourself
out of time away from your business to concentrate on what is most important in
your life. Your G-D and your family should always come first. The most
successful entrepreneurs that we have featured on the cover of our various
magazine covers believe in “work hard/play hard.” No one at the end of
their life wishes they had spent more time working on/in their business.
It is the other things in our lives that we regret making time for.
- Stealing:
It’s okay to
steal some ideas now and then and put them to work in your business (providing
they are not patented or copyrighted). Check out what your competitors
are doing to attract business with their new ideas and find a way to customize
them for your business to be of use to assist your clients. Who knows
what that will lead to?
They say that, “The only thing permanent
is change” and if you are not willing to change things in your life and
business, you will always have what you have always had. Try lying,
cheating, and stealing…I am going to do so!
This month’s cover honoree, Angelica
Garcia-Dunn also built her business on “lying, cheating, and stealing”.
Angelica would lie in bed dreaming of a better life for her two children and
asking the Lord for a sign. She cheated the devil out of his due because
she took a leap of faith and started her business with barely any money and by
the end of the first year it was a great success. She steals people’s
hearts when they meet her because she is such an inspirational person.
May your New Year bring you great
health, much prosperity, and lots of happiness now and always.
Good Reading, Good Sales, & Much
Success to You!
