No. 1: Create systems and trust the process. Michael Gerber wrote is his highly-influential book E-Myth: “Systems permit ordinary people to achieve extraordinary results predictably.” Systems are now a way of life for me. <br /> <br />No. 2: Never show up to the office without a clear list of tasks that needs to be accomplished that day. I believe people waist a tremendous amount of time throughout their days because they lack direction. James Allen wrote in his amazing book As A Man Thinketh: “To put away aimlessness, is to enter the ranks of those who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.” <br /> <br />No. 3: Become a mentor. There is no better way to learn a subject then to teach it. I believe it is not only a privilege to mentor others, but a responsibility and an obligation. I learned early in the finance industry that if you lite your candle off someone, allow someone to light their candle off of you.
