Words of wisdom for the owner-manager

19/07/2017 By wealdenbg

Over the past year or so, Wealden Business Group has collected some simple one-liners, each containing a pearl of wisdom for a business owner-manager. Here are some of the best…

  • You know those things you always wanted to do? Well, go and do them
  • Formal education will make you a living. Self education will make you a fortune.
  • Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited about what could go right.
  • Do what is right, not what is easy.
  • The most dangerous phrase in the language is “we’ve always done it this way”.
  • Greatness is a lot of small things done well every day.
  • 10% of conflicts are due to a difference of opinion. 90% are due to wrong tone of voice.
  • Nothing is more attractive than loyalty.
  • Small business isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for the brave, the patient, the persistent. It’s for the overcomer.
  • The biggest concern for any organisation should be when their most passionate people go quiet.
