Seven Essential Business Tips

When it comes to advice, sometimes pithy is the most memorable and most useful.  Business aphorisms are common, but here are some of the best thanks to Andrew Turner.

1. Double your failure rate.

2. Distance yourself from negative influences, never give up and stay the course.

3. Fear nothing and no one.

4. Success is never permanent, failure never fatal.

5. The idea is not enough, execute the idea brilliantly.

6. Take a look at what’s wrong with it, and find how you can make it better.

7. Do your sums assuming 20% fewer sales, and 20% higher costs, if it still looks good then go for it!
