ABOUT THIS LESSON
The qualities that underpin a successful business owner extend far beyond the realms of strategy and profit margins. They encompass traits of integrity, courage, empathy, and a relentless commitment to service and excellence.
These attributes not only shape the trajectory of a business but also define its impact on the world. Let’s explore these essential qualities that separate the dreamers from the doers in the realm of entrepreneurship.
Integrity
A successful business owner is committed to high moral and ethical standards. They operate with honesty and sincerity in all business dealings.
Courage
They demonstrate bravery and resilience in the face of challenges. They are willing to take calculated risks and confront difficulties head-on.
Empathy
Successful business owners show empathy and kindness towards others. They understand the importance of building strong relationships and supporting their team and customers.
Service
They prioritize serving others. They aim to meet the needs of their customers, employees, family, and community, focusing on creating value and making a positive impact.
Leadership
They lead by example, inspiring and motivating others through their actions and vision. They demonstrate effective leadership qualities such as decisiveness, fairness, and the ability to empower their team.
Commitment to Excellence
They are dedicated to continuous improvement and mastery. They strive for excellence in their industry, continually learning and adapting to new challenges and opportunities.
Respect
They treat everyone with respect and dignity. They value diversity and different perspectives, fostering a culture of inclusivity and collaboration.
Balance
They recognize the importance of maintaining balance in their life. They prioritize their well-being, relationships, and personal growth alongside their business responsibilities.
Authenticity
Successful business owners are true to themselves and their values. They operate with transparency and integrity, building trust with stakeholders.
Humility
Despite their achievements, they remain humble and open to feedback. They acknowledge their mistakes and seek opportunities for growth and improvement.
Closing
These qualities embody the strength, empathy, and leadership needed to succeed as a business owner, focusing not only on financial success but also on making a positive impact within their business and community.
These are more than some nice sounding words to meant to give you inspiration or to guide you. If you want long lasting success in your business, these are qualities to live and die by.
These must be your commitment to yourself and those around you. If you cannot agree to embody these qualities (though you may fail and correct course at times) you might as well quit now, ask for a refund on this course, and move on because your intention for success appears to be easily derailed by the mechanism called pride and ego. Those two conspirators kill more businesses than poor economies, bad luck, and unfortunate events any day of the week.
I am committed to helping you succeed in your business, but there is nothing I can do to help you be committed. Moving onto any lessons beyond this introduction is your acknowledgment in being committed to these qualities.
Feel free to edit them slightly, print them them out, put them on your office wall, in your service vehicle, share it with your team or frame it where your ideal clients can read it. There is no commitment without accountability. If you want real long lasting success in your business, you will take this with the utmost respect and be serious about it.
Send me a picture of where you have put this or a picture of your team holding it in commitment to the qualities.
Think this is too much to ask or that I might come off a little strong on this?

If how you’re willing to show up now at the beginning of this course is an indication of how you’re showing up in your business and life, you may need to ponder what it is you’re really committed to. Comfortability is an option, and with that comes lack of success. I am committed to the above and to helping you succeed, but I can’t do that for you.
I look forward to seeing those amazing pictures!
