Sales & Marketing Management
Lessons learnt at the school of hard knocks
Social
True friends have a history with you; they have earned your trust, proven loyalty and would do everything to protect you. Everyone else is an associate/someone you know well on a friendly basis, so choose carefully which category they fall into.
History
Coming from a large, poor working-class family, we all had to share available clothing. Therefore, I quickly learned, the first up was the best dressed. This option quickly turned my life around so that I could buy the best clothing and worry no more.
Health
Whilst you're alive, spend as little time in bed as you need. You can make up all the lost time lying down when you die. Keeping fit and avoiding addictive habits will keep you living longer.
Paying money to a drug supplier allows them to spend more time in their bed. As with the Bookmakers, Tobacco sellers and the Publicans, you're building up their lifestyle at your expense.
Economics
People who feel the world owes them something have to learn the world owes them nothing. The world provides them with life. That should be enough. The only thing that owes you something is you and you alone.
THE ONLY THING STOPPING YOU FROM ACHIEVING SUCCESS IS YOU. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE EFFORT, THE MOTIVATION YOU PUT IN.
Some people feel that they are not lucky in business or life, but it's a strange phenomenon; the harder I work, the more I put into life, the more lucker I become.
If you don’t have a plan the you will plan to fail. So build a plan of how you get there and keep to the plan. Adjust the plan when required. This is the sole reason all businesses have a Business Plan.
