Finerman’s Top Ten Rules For Business And Life

If you have the courage to do the right things, you will get the right results. If you don’t, then be okay with what you will get.

According to Finerman,

‘If you don’t proactively want success for yourself, how are you going to convince others that you’re worthy of attaining it?’

‘Act as if, believe as if, plan as if you can and will succeed. There is no reason not to.’

‘You can’t hope the plans happen; you have to make them happen.’

‘A first job is a chance to get paid to learn. So learn all you can.’

‘If decisions are not of great consequence, don’t give them a lot of space.’

‘We have the power to control our emotions; sometimes we just haven’t developed the desire and the right intellectual response to do so.’

‘Figure out what it is you do a half-assed job at, or hate, and let it go.’

‘When you have a big decision to make, wait as long as you can before deciding.’

‘Don’t wait for the fear of failure to subside; move forward as if isn’t there.’

‘If we survive failure, we haven’t failed– we’ve learned and we’ve grown stronger, scars and all.’

‘Don’t belabor a transaction for a small amount of money. If you want to sell something, get out there and sell it. Don’t try to squeeze every last penny.’

‘Markets can change very quickly. Do not extrapolate well into the future what the environment is right now.’

How To Find Your Power

‘Choosing the path less traveled may be challenging, but it can lead to extraordinary destinations.’

‘Be too good to be ignored.’

‘No matter who you are, what you do, how much money you make, or how successful you become, nothing lasts forever, and sometimes, it is just time to move on.’

‘Glass ceilings are made to be broken.’

‘Learning how to ask for, and get, what you want is a skill that will serve you well your entire life.’

‘The hardest part of looking for a job is often the last step before success. Keep pushing through, for just around the corner, your next great adventure could begin.’

‘When you focus on making a life, instead of making a living, you often end up with the best of both worlds.’

‘Never be afraid to know your value, in dollars and cents. Professionals who know what they are worth, what others are paid, and when to move on to a job that pays more, ultimately find themselves in positions where they are paid fairly.’

‘Being loyal to yourself should always come ahead of being loyal to anyone or anything else.’

‘Sometimes, all we need is a bit of an identity crisis to figure out where we belong.’

‘Always be on the lookout for new friends, new connections, and new opportunities; people have landed jobs because of someone they talked to in an elevator, airplane, or bar.’
