Craigs List

Some people think the reason that 95% (or whatever the percentage is now) of businesses fail is because of 'market forces'. While they do play a role (otherwise we'd have more sellers than buyers), I think it's fair to say business people are often responsible for their own failings.

They just don't want to admit it!

Let's get down to the point: Do you want to be in the 5% that sees success? Or do you want to join the 95% that fail? In this case, it is the 'minority thinking' that works. Following what the 'majority' thinks often leads to failure and a place in the 95% club.

Here are three major '5%' rules to live by:

Rule #1: Concentrate On What Really Matters

Whenever you get into a little argument, incident or even if someone tries to insult you, forget it. Don't get involved. Ask yourself, 'Is It Really Important?' If the answer is no, move on. You are bigger than the small incident that probably won't matter one iota to your business profits.

Rule #2: Feed Your Burning Desire To Kill Procrastination And Other Ills

I know of many successful entrepreneurs who have succeeded because they had a point to prove or wanted to prove someone wrong. It's not wrong to have these 'vengeful' feelings. In fact, these feelings are often the fuel of radical success. These feelings push you to take massive action, if you use them in a positive way. Be in it to make money, but be in it to have a point to prove too.

Rule #3: Don't Be Afraid To Sell

If you want to make money, you have got to sell something. Employees sell their skills to prospective employers. They sell their likeability and skills even after they get the job, with the aim to get a promotion. If you want to make more money in business, concentrate on selling. Business cards, the fancy corporate website, the office...all that doesn't matter in the beginning. Your goal is to grab sales to create a positive cash flow in your business.

My question now is: are you ready to join the 5%? Then it might be time to think about joining the 'minority'. Think about it.
