Notes:________________________________________________________
·
Love what you do! Your passion will take you as
far as you desire to go with your business. Most of the time people give other
people the benefit of their passion and not themselves. If you are passionate
about what you do and have ever worked for someone else, then you may have been
passionately working at a high level of proficiency and effectiveness because
you loved the work. They were making a great deal of profit from your passion.
You can enjoy the profit from your passion.
·
Love those to whom you provide a service or a
product . Customers are aware of the passion you have for what you do and it
creates an excitement in them.
Customers respond to the way you respond to them. It does not matter how important your excuse is, when it comes to your customers there is no such thing as having a bad day. It doesn’t matter how great your product or service is, if you neglect or treat your customer poorly you make an unconscious decision to decrease your profits.

Joy
Positive and pleasant attitude
–Question Why Attitude?
Joy draws customers: Question: How does is draw people?
Joy -Answers with
gladness, contentment and cheerfulness
Joy also draws. A business can have a product that is
equal to or inferior to their competitor but joy will make the difference. Joy
produces after itself.
Notes:_______________________________________________________
·
There is strength in joy. Excitement adds energy
while disinterest drains energy. Joy does not equal happiness; you may not be
happy about the long hours you have to devote to the business. Starting up a
business does require long hours of planning, preparation, activation and
commitment to the success of your dream, but the joy is rejoicing for the
opportunity to make a profit for the passion inside of you.

122:6-7) and the absence of war (1 Samuel 7:14)
Notes:

o Be
at peace with yourself and your business idea. Peace of mind is a great
encourager when situations and circumstances appear not to be in your favor.
When you know that all is well with what you are doing you can have peace in
the midst of what appears to be chaos. When you do the best that you can do and
do it with integrity you can have peace. Often people that are not connected to
your vision will complain or criticize supposing that you can do better and
have not done your best. But when you know that you have done your best, to
submit to complaints about it implies that your best is inadequate. When you
know that you have done all that is right you can sleep at night.
o Peace
will allow you to remain calm in the midst of growing pains. It will allow you
to keep a leveled head to create a solution. Remember, there is nothing new
under the sun, therefore look for the solution. Someone else has already solved
some of your problems.
o Whenever
possible, keep the peace. Remember, the customer is always right. Find a way to
work with your client. Make sure that they understand that you are working for
them not against them even if they are difficult. Sometimes, however, this is
not possible.
Goodness
Praise worthy character
Moral excellence
Prevents enviousness and
rivalry in the business infrastructure
Kindness is important to
develop loyal customers
How many businesses expect you to return where their staff
there was not kind to you?
Notes:

Goodness prevents enviousness and rivalry within a business infrastructure. It
should be your business practice to operate as a team as you implement the
vision, mission and goals of the company.
Kindness is a very important key to
customer satisfaction. How many places do you return to where the individuals
were not kind to you?

Faith
You must have faith in
your business idea and it’s ability to produce income (profit)
No one should be able to
cause you to doubt
You above all should
have faith in your product or service
Be willing to back your
business with your word, a guarantee, warranty, refund or exchange
Notes:
________________________________________________________________
§ ________
You must have faith in your business idea and your ability to produce profit
from that idea. You must also have faith in your ability to provide a needed
service or product for the market that you target. You should have the ability
to delegate to others the task that you can not proficiently accomplish yourself
and have the faith that you can get whatever you need that you personally lack
to accomplish your business goals. Do what you do best and allow others to
complement you by doing the things that you don’t have the time or the ability
to perform.
§ Have
faith in your business. No one should be able to cause you to doubt
Have enough confidence to back what you provide not only with word but with deed: a guarantee, warranty, refund or exchange. There will be times however, when you must say no refunds on particular products or services because for every transaction there must be a fair exchange.

Meekness
Pride and arrogance can
be detrimental to a business
Sometimes you may have
to humble yourself to accomplish a particular business goal
Have the understanding
that your product or service is unique, excellent and marketable
Notes:
________________________________________________________________
§ ________
Pride and arrogance can be detrimental to a business. Shooting yourself in the
foot does not help the rest of your body even if your foot deserves it.
Sometimes, you may have to humble yourself to accomplish a particular business
goal even if you are the one who is in the right. That is not a weakness but
rather strength.
You don’t have to put down another
company’s product or service to advance your own. If your product or service is
unique, excellent, and marketable it will be well sought after, it will speak
for itself and others will sing its praises.

Self Control
Self Control is very
important
You must be able to
discipline yourself regarding:
Business practices
Financial practices and
goals
People
If you
cannot rule yourself you cannot manage time, money or people
Notes:
________________________________________________________________
§ Self control is very important; you must be
able to discipline yourself regarding business and finance practices. If you
can not rule yourself you can not manage a business; you can not manage people;
you can not manage money, nor can you manage inventory.
§ Be
aware of who you are and operate accordingly. You are a leader. You are a
manager. You are a producer. You are operating in your passion and purpose. You
are the Chief Executive Officer and the President.

Patients
Progress is never in a
hurry
Growing Seeds takes time
People demand more
patients than any other living thing, because they all have a will
Patience will carry you to you next goal.
Explosiveness, intolerance, or utter disgust will stop
you in your tracks.
Notes:
________________________________________________________________
§ Being
patient will be one of your greatest challenges. It may not seem that your
progress is at the level you expect during the developmental stages of your
business. But remember, you are pregnant with purpose and purpose does not get
in a hurry.
§ Be
patient in dealing with people. If you are not a people person, put someone
that loves people between you and the people.
§ It
is difficult to avoid people if you are a business owner. You have to interact
with vendors, customers, employers, and government officials.
Patience will carry you further
than explosiveness, intolerance, or utter disgust.
