Yeah. I think my mind keeps coming back to the same few things. I will have to tear back through the list and see where I dropped the ball.

BTW, which of these did you think were best for you?

Dan

p.s. I wrote this as a reminder for me so it might just be that I need to work on all of them. :-)

Harvey,

I struggle with loyalty as well. Maybe it’s just my own fear — who knows.

When you look at in hindsight it really becomes clear how damaging under-performing employees are. They literally pull the rug out from under your plans for success

BTW, how bad was the damage for you? I would love to hear more about the lessons that you learned.

This was a good list, but I saw a bit of redundancy near the end. I know that repeating the basics makes you better…but I felt some were just accidentally listed as re-runs. :)

but I appreciate you sharing and I need to focus on a few items on the list…

18. Fire lousy employees fast. I didn’t do this, and it cost me my company. We crashed and burned because the president of one of my companies wasn’t getting results. I knew he should be fired; I didn’t do it. I was too loyal. I should have. I paid a big price for not doing what needed to be done. It wasn’t the employee’s fault. It was my fault. I didn’t make the hard decision.

Mike,

I like where your head is at. That certainly could be a great ebook in the making.

They look a lot like they could be chapter titles… ;-)

Daniel,

I appreciate your honesty. Usually I hear a zillion odd excuses about how the mistakes were really “strategic”. Your candor about how “being cheap” is really a sign of other things is very insightful — very accurate description.

What was your biggest lesson you learned in your business?

Dan
