I was pursuing one of my personal journals from a few years back this morning, looking for some point of inspiration to share.  As I looked through the pages, I came across Arnold Beckman’s Rules for Living that he had hung in his office.  I think they are just as applicable today, and for our business, as they were in his time and industry. 

Arnold Beckman’s Rules for Living

1. Have absolute integrity in everything.
2. There is no satisfactory substitute for excellence.
3. Have moderation in everything, including moderation.
4. Hire the best people, and then get out of the way.
5. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, if you are not making mistakes, you are probably not doing very much.
6. Acquire knowledge and always ask “why.”
7. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Carpe diem,

Being successful in business is less about having all the answers yourself than knowing where you can access expertise. Since you can’t know everyone, you often rely on your friends or trusted colleagues for referrals, which is where your professional network comes in handy.

After all, a basic truth of business is that people do business with people they know, like and trust.  Happily, this model works both ways. The more people who know you or about you, the more business will come your way.

Creating an extensive professional network is not nearly as time-consuming or intimidating as you might think, but it does take conscious effort.
