Practical Application: BizBit #1 "You Don't Need What You Don't Have"
START RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE...
Many entrepreneurs place their success outside of themselves by constantly obsessing on what they don't have.
I like to call this trait "paralysis analysis" and it is NOT conducive to forward moving progress.
By obsessing on what you don't have, you don't realize what you do have and for some, this constant obsession is really a mask hiding a fear of failure (more on this later).
Take The First Step & Start Right Where You Are. You will find you have more than you might have thought.
Money is not the only resource necessary in getting a business started.
As an entrepenuer, I have often found my self in situations with limited resources. Consequently, I have found ways to become extremely efficient with the resources on hand. With that knowledge I have excelled and have been able to bring tremendous value to future opportunities when resources were not an issue.
The key to being successful is being resourceful!
I believe it was Mother Teresa who said "We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing."

How To Business... Business Ethics: BizBit #4 - Under Promise & Over Deliver
Business Ethics: BizBit #4 - Under Promise & Over Deliver
This probably should be called "keep your promises and over deliver".
By no means do I suggest you under sell yourself or services to potential clients. Quite the contrary, I urge you to be plain spokenly practical about the service you can provide and the time frame you can deliver - then work like maniac on caffeine to over perform.
When you operate this way you have only upside to gain, if something unexpectedly comes up that impedes progress you'll, more than likely, remain on schedule and deliver as promised and if things go like clockwork and as planned you'll come out looking exceedingly competent. You should strive to put yourself in win-win positions like this.
I speak a great deal about reputation and the value of your word; over performing will go a long way in helping you solidifying a great reputation in business.

How To Business... Business Ethics: BizBit #3 - Your Word ---- Be About It!!
Business Ethics: BizBit #3 - Your Word, Be About It!!
A wise man told me" if the mans word is no good, the man is no good" and I couldn't agree more.
In business, especially when you are starting out, if you simply do what you say you are going to do people will gravitate to you. Your clients will continue to come back and bring referrals which is essentially the foundation of success for any business.
I have clients that I have worked with for years; I am sure they could find someone who is less expensive, but they remain because our relationship has been established in trust. I find the typical response to not having trust in business to be an iron clad contract.
I agree with "putting everything in writing" but I've also seen people spend large sums trying to enforce those "iron clad" contracts.
Work with people you can trust and remember A contract is only as good as the persons signing it.
