Secret – timesaving technique

Jim starts his day without external distractions – start the day with a fresh mind. ONWARD!

Daily habit that contributes to success

Could have ruined your business – but now – an invaluable learning experience

Jim made an incredibly bad business deal – and Jim tells the whole story here.

Most critical skill you think business owners need to master to be successful

“The more effectively we learn to think, the more successfully we will live our life – take charge of your own thinking.”

Most influential lesson learned from a mentor

“Spend one hour a day studying in your field – you’ll be an expert in five years.”

 

Final Round – “Breaking Down the Recipe for Success”

 

What systems would you go back and put into place sooner?

I would have been more disciplined about saving money – no one gets rich from what they earn – they get rich from what they keep.

What one strategy or “recipe” would compound into big wins for business owners?

Spend time in the next month writing down what you want your future to be like – reach farther than you’d ever hope of achieving – it’s possible.

How to exceed expectations and add the most value?

An individual would take personal responsibility for the achievement of the outcome – they do their job and do it well.

What strategy would you recommend new business owners focus on to best ensure success?

1. Build habits.
2. Notice more than anyone else.
