Open Minds and Goal Setting
I was taught 25 years ago that a pure scientist has the most open of minds. The reason being quite simple in that unless you’ve conducted an experiment and developed proof one way or the other, how do you know it to be true or not.

Sales Best Practices - Not
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the difference between company A and B. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to implement the process either. But it does take more than a 60 day commitment to the new process. When it's been broken for a decade it doesn't get fixed in a calendar quarter.
Actions and Attitudes and Fiscal Fitness
Henry Ford once asked one of his young automotive engineers, "What is your life ambition?" The young man said, "I want to become very rich." A couple of days later, Ford approached the engineer and instructed him to put on a pair of glasses, which instead of having glass lenses had silver dollars in the frame. Then he asked the engineer, "What do you see?" "Nothing," the guy replied. Having made his point, the auto giant said, "Then maybe you should rethink that ambition of yours." The man had money right in front of his eyes, but he couldn't see it.
Establishing and Maintaining Good Customer Relations
All structures are built upon a foundation. Truly successful engineers build their practices upon a foundation of strong customer relationships. As with every other purchase decision, individuals prefer to do business with people they like, with people who seem genuinely interested in them and with people who really care about their concerns. The business of starting and nurturing a relationship starts with the initial interview and continues throughout the firm's representation.

Lesson #5: Hire the Best
"Well, in the early Sixties there was quite a number of designers and stylists to choose from. But Scaglione arrived at my place in a big shiny Mercedes, immaculately dressed and accompanied by a breathtakingly beautiful secretary. ‘Your car will be ready in a week,’ he told me. So I gave him the job. In the end my car was bodied in a ramshackle hut that hardly measured three or four meters long," Ferruccio Lamborghini would say about how he chose his first automobile engineer. This started a relationship that lasted many years, but Lamborghini was still the main engineer.
