Six Universal "Secrets" of Business Success

(C) 1999, Marty Foley

One definition of the word "secret," according to the New
Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is something "kept from general
knowledge." Judging by the high failure rate of many
entrepreneurial ventures, the principles of business success
that I'm about to share with you could rightly fall under the
definition of secret.

I was a student of successful business practices before I
developed my own successful online business. If you're like
me, you believe that much can be learned from others that
have already been successful in a certain endeavor, rather
than always trying to reinvent the wheel.

I've found in reaching my own goal of "leaving the rat race" to
run my own profitable Internet business from home that many
success principles are more or less universally applicable
toward any legitimate business, online or off.

The rewards possible from owning your own business aren't
just financial ones. There is also the freedom and exhilarating
feeling that working for yourself can give you.

Let me now share some of those universal business success
"secrets" with you:

1) The main thrust of business is to provide more and better
products and services, to larger numbers of people, at less
cost. Any business activity not tied in with achieving that in
business - while it may be important - is less important than
this ultimate goal.

2) Related to the above point is the maxim: "Everything is
marketing." The world cannot beat a path to your door to buy
your "better mouse trap" if the world doesn't know about it.
Marketing is the key to letting the world know about your
products and services. There have been many products that
had great sales potential, but faded into obscurity due to poor
marketing. If you want to succeed in business, effective
marketing skills are crucial.

3) Keeping a tight rein on expenses - while at the same time
not being "penny wise and pound foolish," is a wise business
practice. However, frugality is not encouraged in many
societies. Entrepreneurs find it to be a boon, when kept in
proper balance.

One of the greatest assets of doing business online is the
ability to reduce overhead expenses to a minimum.

4) There must be a willingness to take risks. I'm not talking
about foolhardiness, but carefully calculated risks. You should
not risk more than you can afford to lose, but you can't afford
not to take certain business risks.

One prime reason that many never take the plunge and attempt
to develop their own business is that they are afraid of taking risk
-- risk which could result in failure. However, failure has often been
a stepping stone to success.

5) An entrepreneur must deliver good quality products and
services and stand behind one's work. Related to that is good
customer service.

One is not only in business for one's self. Even if your place
of business is far removed from where your customers are
located (such as through the global business reach that can be
achieved with the Internet), you still have a responsibility
toward your customers, and if you have employees, to them as well.

6) The business person should be on the lookout for ways to
improve their goods and services, as well ways to increase
efficiency and expand their marketing reach.

I've just revealed a handful of universal principles of
business success. Look around you and see if you can't detect
if they are being applied by ultra-successful businesses that
you're aware of. No doubt you'll see them used by the
majority. If you apply them, they can contribute toward your
own business success, as well.
