Thank you for all the kind words about our call Wednesday.  Below are Bob Parson’s “16 Rules For Success in Business and Life in General”.  Check out his website – www.bobparsons.me – I like his approach.

Alex

1.  Get and stay out of your comfort zone.

I believe that not much happens of any significance when we’re in our comfort zone.  I hear people say, “But I’m concerned about security.”  My response to that is simple: “Security is for cadavers.”

2.  Never give up.

Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted.  Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work.  It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it.  If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity.
3.  When you’re ready to quit, you’re closer than you think.

There’s an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true.  It goes like this: “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.”

4.  With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be.

Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of “undefined consequences.”  My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and losing my shirt trying to get Parsons Technology going, “Well, Robert, if it doesn’t work, they can’t eat you.”

5.  Focus on what you want to have happen.

Remember that old saying, “As you think, so shall you be.”

6.  Take things a day at a time.

No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don’t look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment.  You can get through anything one day at a time.
7.  Always be moving forward.

Never stop investing.  Never stop improving.  Never stop doing something new.  The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die.  Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way.  Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen.  Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.

8.  Be quick to decide.

Remember what General George S. Patton said: “A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”

9.  Measure everything of significance.

I swear this is true.  Anything that is measured and watched, improves.

10.  Anything that is not managed will deteriorate.

If you want to uncover problems you don’t know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven’t examined for a while.  I guarantee you problems will be there.

11.  Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you’re doing.

When you look at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.

12.  Never let anybody push you around.

In our society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to what you’re doing as anyone else, provided that what you’re doing is legal.

13.  Never expect life to be fair.

Life isn’t fair.  You make your own breaks.  You’ll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).

14.  Solve your own problems.

You’ll find that by coming up with your own solutions, you’ll develop a competitive edge.  Masura Ibuka, the co-founder of SONY, said it best: “You never succeed in technology, business, or anything by following the others.”  There’s also an old Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently.  It goes like this: “A wise man keeps his own counsel.”

15.  Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Lighten up.  Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are.

16.  There’s always a reason to smile.

Find it.  After all, you’re really lucky just to be alive.  Life is short.  More and more, I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: “We’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a good time!”

You ever have a prospect, and you’re talking to them and they say, Nick, is this selling? You know that’s pretty common, the question comes up quite a bit, right? I don’t know if you guys try to disguise it, or duck it. But the fact is, recruiting is selling. And those of you that have been around me, know this. I consider recruiting to be the highest form of selling.

We’re not talking to somebody that’s giving us a credit card to buy a washer, or signing a note or a mortgage to get a car or a piece of land. There’s a great element of trust, that’s been established when you bring somebody into your business, or I bring somebody into my business. And that trust factor means that they are giving you, literally, a piece of their life. We all know that my foundation is that 24 hours in the day is something that we all share. It’s the great equalizer. It’s how we use it or abuse it that places us where we are in life. So, when you’ve got a prospect, and that trust has been established and they are willing not to just invest money with you, so that they can change their life, understand that’s a heavy responsibility. I’m going to talk a little bit about it a little later on. But I want you to understand that you don’t want to duck that issue. You don’t want to tell people there’s no selling involved. I love these ads. No prospecting, no selling, no doing anything.

Well, what do they need me for? What do they need you for? You know, the prospecting and the recruiting are the key elements for anyone to build a successful business. The prospecting is easy. But the recruiting requires a little more psychology and I hope to share that psychology with you tonight. You know, when I tell people that I think…when I tell people. When I share with people that recruiting is the highest form of selling, I let them know exactly what I’m looking for. And you might want to jot this down as a good catch phrase that covers a lot. But what I’m doing is I’m looking for persuasive recruiters and effective trainers. Now, if you haven’t been on my CDs you’ll pick up on that on the very first session.

For those of you that have heard it before, it’s worth sharing again. And my follow-up question. And this is where people, when you’re interviewing people, you ask the question and its open ended and you drop it. You follow it up with “I need to know something.” I need to know, are you now that person or do you want to and can you become that person? Because if you can, I can show you how to teach and grow rich.
