How To Stay On Top

78 Be Cool

People of position should not only be elusive and intellectual but rather they must
also be cool. It is the only way to keep competitors and the market guessing at what
your next move would be.

79 Be Respectful

The best asset to own when you are on top is to look at ways differently but it could
be the worst if you change how you regard other people. Being respectful to people,
about opinions or tastes is important most especially when you have employees to
answer to.

80 Learn From Your Predecessors

They say that the best teacher is experience and yes, it does not always have to be
your own. Using the wisdom of others will not only save you resources but will also
open you to ideas that you may never have imagined yourself.

RELATIONSHIPS: How To Make Them Last

Business Relationships: Partners and Customers

81 Draw The Line

The wrong kind of attachment often destroys the best working relationships. And
that is why it is always best to define boundaries from the very beginning. It will not
only keep things in check but will also prevent damage control.

82 Be Legal

Never mix business with pleasure. To make a business relationship work, partners
must always seek the services of a lawyer and an accountant. Not only will they
protect the company from failing but will also prevent internal disputes.

83 Do Not Be Ignorant

Do not simply invest financially instead devote a percentage of your time to study the
market, the position of your business or simply be present if you need to be.
