Here comes Dale Carnegie to start the week with an efficient lesson from a master of marketing. I had a thought for him while passing by 7th Avenue at the Carnegie Hall last year, I relate him to Andrew Carnegie’s family and guess what… I have discovered perhaps one of Carnegie’s most successful marketing moves was to change the spelling of his last name from « Carnagey » to Carnegie, at a time when Andrew Carnegie (unrelated) was a widely revered and recognized name. If you don’t know him, Dale Carnegie was an American writer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. One of the core ideas in his books is that it is possible to change other peoples’ behavior by changing one’s behavior toward them.
Maintaining a small business is really a challenging task, you really need to work on your mindset, and find the mostmotivation or inspiration possible (audio, books) to help you both to start and through the day. Each and every step must be moved carefully without affecting the growth of your business.Success is a journey and it canbe different for everyone but it’s harder to reach it, if you don’t take about your mindset, as you could for your body. That the reason why I love and recommand this quote :
Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one, its makes you that much stronger. Il you do little jobs well, the big ones will end to take care of themselves.
All we can really do is keep improving our own quality, which gets better when we detach our egos from individual outcomes.
So tell me about the small jobs you should give your best to ?
not minimize anything that’s what he means Grace ?
Absolutely Dominique… When you want to succeed everything matters !
I like doing everything good and maybe sometime I’m too perfectionist, I like to start with something small and work my way out up.
That a good trick Isobel, thans for sharing and commenting !
How can you stay motivated and keeping going with small jobs ?
Dear Anton, I think that you can do it because by developping those habits you make it easier for you to implant them in your bigger project. Does it make sense ?
The only small jobs I give my best is helping and be happy everyday.
Woo that incredibily deep Hannah thank you so much for commenting on this !
