| Here are 12 lessons to live by in your business
1. ALWAYS DO MORE THAN IS EXPECTED OF YOU
I learned this at an early age from my Dad. He had a very successful career as a business executive and engineer, and this the core principle that created his success.
You can apply this to your business in many ways... over-delivering to your customers, giving unexpected bonuses to your employees or outsourced workers, and more.
Most people do just the bare minimum. Do more than is expected of you and it will do amazing things for your business. |

Business Plan: Key Points
| |
| So, you know your own business ideas/goals, and you have looked over your competition - but you have little or no specifics on how to put together a business plan? Let's get started, then.
The act of planning helps you think things through thoroughly, study and research if you are not sure of what you want or need, and enable you to take a look at your ideas analytically. This type of researching of your own business and market planning also helps you articulate and be able to speak more easily about your business. It takes time now, but will avoids costly mistakes, and chaos later. |

Its All About Values
| |
| Whether you recognize it or not, values are at the heart of what you’re doing and where your business is headed. Think of it as being like gravity.

How great leaders use values to drive performance
| |
| Great leaders instinctively know the importance of values. Values create the organizational culture. When articulated and implemented consistently, values reduce the need for close supervision, engender trust and co-operation with suppliers and customers, and raise performance. Great leaders recognize this. That is why they commit substantial personal time to articulation and implementation of values. They are also good at mastering paradoxes of values. |

Living from our Higher Values
| |
| The basics of human behavior requires that we live to our highest values, thus in so doing we are congruent with our true selves. Higher values always dictate to us from within whereas our lowest values are motivated from outside forces. When we live to our higher values we will operate/work spontaneously, we will be working on what we love and we will have a smile on our faces. We will be self-driven when aligned with our highest values. On the other hand, when we are operating from without, we need constant motivation and push. Our days are a “drag” and our whole lives can be described as “unlived lives” in that we are not doing what comes naturally to us. When we set goals aligned to our highest values we are inspired and will succeed. |

Pathways and Pitfalls to Clarifying and Living Personal Values
| |
| Develop a comprehensive list of all possible personal values. Now rank each one as "A" (high importance), "B" (medium importance), "C" (low importance). Review your A and B values. Are there any that you feel are essentially the same value or one is an obvious subset of the other? If so, bring them together and rename it if necessary. Rank order the remaining list from highest through to lowest priority. You should now have your top five core values.
Focusing on your core values:
o Ask yourself whether these are your true, internal "bone deep" beliefs or an external "should" value. These are very tough questions to answer. We often don't recognize a lifetime of conditioning that has left us with other people's belief systems. Replace any "should" values with your own.
