HOW DO YOU ADD VALUE?
We live in the age where information is the greatest commodity - share your information.
!
Be useful to your customers and they will keep coming back.
!
Educate them. Assist them. Help them.
![Page 16: If you’re serious about making your business hugely successful in 2014, you need to read this](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061104/5412e1e27bef0a741b8b462a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. FOCUS ON ONE THING - AND ONE THING ALONE.

VERY FEW BUSINESSES GET THIS RIGHT
![Page 20: If you’re serious about making your business hugely successful in 2014, you need to read this](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061104/5412e1e27bef0a741b8b462a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT, EVERY SINGLE CENT YOU SPEND ON ADVERTISING IS A WASTE OF MONEY.
![Page 21: If you’re serious about making your business hugely successful in 2014, you need to read this](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061104/5412e1e27bef0a741b8b462a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAKE RISKS

6. CHANGE YOUR LANGUAGE
GET MORE PERSONAL, LET PEOPLE INTO YOUR BUSINESS, TELL THEM THE STORY BEHIND YOUR BUSINESS
![Page 26: If you’re serious about making your business hugely successful in 2014, you need to read this](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061104/5412e1e27bef0a741b8b462a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

MY TAKE ON THIS….
1. Treat everyone you encounter with the utmost respect. 2. Be ridiculously polite. 3. Small gestures make a big difference. 4. Look for the win/win in every situation. 5. Put yourself in the other guy’s shoes. 6. Be generous. 7. Never judge a book by its cover.

8. HARDEN THE F*#K UP
NO ONE SAID BUSINESS WAS GOING TO BE EASY, BUT IS IT REALLY AS HARD AS YOU MAKE IT OUT TO BE?

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER…
IF EVERY OTHER BUSINESS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOURS, GET OUT!
![Page 31: If you’re serious about making your business hugely successful in 2014, you need to read this](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061104/5412e1e27bef0a741b8b462a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

A final thought from me to you: !!
“Never listen to the people who take great joy in telling you all of the things you can’t do”
![Page 39: If you’re serious about making your business hugely successful in 2014, you need to read this](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061104/5412e1e27bef0a741b8b462a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
“WELL ANDREW, THIS IS ALL VERY KUM BA YAH’ISH”
![Page 40: If you’re serious about making your business hugely successful in 2014, you need to read this](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061104/5412e1e27bef0a741b8b462a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
30 YEARS DOWN THE LINE…SOME THINGS DON’T CHANGE
![Page 41: If you’re serious about making your business hugely successful in 2014, you need to read this](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061104/5412e1e27bef0a741b8b462a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
THE GREATEST WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL, IN ANY BUSINESS, IS TO DEVELOP, CULTIVATE, MAINTAIN AND SHARE
THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.
![Page 42: If you’re serious about making your business hugely successful in 2014, you need to read this](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061104/5412e1e27bef0a741b8b462a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
AND THIS REQUIRES ATTENTION EVERY SINGLE DAY, OF EVERY SINGLE WEEK, OF EVERY SINGLE MONTH,
OF EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
