Factor In

As a business owner, I must pick my battles and for productivity and profits, protect my time and my sanity.

I do it by factoring in assumptions and ways of looking at things and people.

Here are mine…

• My team and I aren’t productive all of the time and that’s okay.
• People are more interested in themselves than they are in me.
• It’s important to become blameless.
• All most people want is attention, to be recognized, and to feel good.
• Most people aren’t willing to do what it takes and that’s okay.
• Given the chance, I rather pay now than pay later.
• Trying to change or control people is a waste of time and so is judging them.
• Don’t take complaints or compliments seriously.
• Customers are not loyal.
• Everybody has an agenda.
• To create and maintain loyalty, you must reward it.
• The more I serve others, the better my life will be.
• The less I talk, the better.
• The humbler I am, the better.
• The more I think, the less I do, the more I make.
• My business and my market constantly respond to my thoughts.
• Being alone in nature is necessary for my growth.
• Everything that happens is okay and for a reason.

This type of thinking serves me well and my clients well.
