Questions I Have to Answer

Three of my brightest business ideas?

The “promise” behind my products?

I have to put down in writing my personal answers to these questions in preparation to an entrepreneurship workshop I am to attend this Saturday.

Strike While The Iron Is Hot

There is no short cut to success. It’s always toiling and striving and sweating it out and fighting the voice that rings in our head “Give up Francis, this is not getting you anywhere…” It’s refusing to give up when it seems like the effort is futile. Same thing in business, same thing in career and it’s certainly the same thing in the Christian life.

Basketball legend Michael Jordan says: "I've missed over 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot . . . and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." Oliver Cromwell says it very well: “Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking.”

Sales Tip

There are infinite ways to close a sale, but one of the experiences that can truly satisfy a customer is encountering a seller who truly knows the product he or she is selling.
