‘Build your business around something that you love-something that is inherently and endlessly interesting to you.’

‘Focus your attention and creativity on basic things, things that people need and want. Then look for ways to enlarge, improve, and enhance your Big Idea.’

‘Create a business plan that allows you to stay true to your Big Idea but help you focus on the details. Then remain flexible enough to zoom in or out on the vital aspects of your enterprise as your business grows.’

‘By sharing your knowledge about your product or service with your customers, you create a deep connection that will help you learn how best to build and manage your business.’

‘Use smart, cost-effective promotional techniques that will arrest the eye, tug at the heart, and convey what is unique and special about your business or service.’

‘Quality should be placed at the top of your list of priorities, and it should remain there. Quality is something you should strive for in every decision, every day.’

‘Seek out and hire employees who are brimming with talent, energy, integrity, optimism, generosity. Search for advisors and partners who complement your skills and understand your ideals.’

‘When faced with a business challenge, evaluate or assess the situation, gather the good things in sight, abandon the bad, clear your mind, and move on. Focus on the positive. Stay in control, and never panic.’

‘In business, there’s a difference between a risk and change. A well-calculated risk may very well end up as an investment in your business. A careless change can cause it to crumble. And when an opportunity presents itself, never assume it will be your last.’

‘Listen intently, learn new things every day, be willing to innovate, and become an authority your customers will trust. As an entrepreneur, you will find great joy and satisfaction in making your customers’ lives easier, more meaningful, and more beautiful.’

Transformation starts with transparency. Because people want to know what they are getting themselves into, why they are doing it, and what is going to happen to them.

If you want your project to succeed, don’t hide anything from your people. Be kind. Tell them the truth. When you do, you are more likely to succeed.

According Traci Fenton, ‘Transparency is at work when ideas and information are openly and responsibly shared.’

‘For leaders to own their inner power, they must have a moral compass- and use it.’

‘Purpose and vision are at work when each individual and the organization know their reason for being and have a sense of intentional direction.’

‘Integrity is at work when each individual and the organization uphold high moral and ethical principles.’

‘Dialogue and Listening are at work when each individual listens and engages in conversation in a way that deepens meaning and connection.’

‘Accountability is at work when each individual and the organization are responsible to each other for their actions.’

‘Decentralization is at work when power is appropriately shared throughout an organization.’

‘The Individual and the Collective are at work when the rights of both are valued and respected.’

‘Choice is at work when each individual chooses between different possibilities.’

‘Fairness and Dignity are at work when each individual is treated justly and impartially and is recognized for their inherent worth.’

‘Reflection and Evaluation are at work when each individual and the organization are committed to continuous feedback and growth.’
