I like buying from shop owners who are honest, friendly and helpful. I think most customers prefer dealing with sellers having such attributes.
Some key attitudes and behaviors that can lead to success in business include having a positive and proactive attitude, being a good communicator and a good listener, being adaptable and open to change, being able to work well in a team, being a good leader and decision maker, being able to set and achieve goals, being able to think strategically, being able to handle stress and pressure, being ethical and honest, and being able to continuously learn and improve.
Inner motivation and a discipline around work are two most important ones according to me. There is a long list there to be a successful businessman. But I would rank these two on the top along with a openness to learning from everyone and every situation around.
If a businessman is ready to keep learning and evolving, his business would be sustained for long. The world is ever changing and so is the business requirement. A successful business of today might get outdated in no time. So, one has to be a quick learner and keep learning and evolving with time. If you evolve, your business would evolve and survive for too long.
As sa business person, you don't have to be harsh to people. If not, people would not want to do business with you.
In my opinion, the best practice of having a successful business is to be positive minded .
That's very true. You have to be polite but not gullible. Else people would take advantage of that..Being courteous and polite is the way to win customers..but then you have to be firm and know where to draw the limits. You should be clear about the boundaries that you set and respect it. Once you do it, others will do it too.
All these that you have mentioned here are pointing to how to be a quality person. To be a quality person requires you to go the extra mile and at times you will be tough and at times you have to show partiality. It is tough to be at the helm of wanting to see a business grow or succeed. But with precision, everything falls into place. There are no standard guidelines or manuals on how to go about it and you can make a thousand mistakes along the way but everything does fall into place eventually if you are striving to be a quality person and every member is a quality person.
As a business owner you need to take your business seriously and not something of a joke because whenever you are not serious with your business, you will not be able to tackle the things that you are supposed to tackle in the business that might be a challenge that will cause its downfall.
I prefer to work with business owners who are helpful, approachable, honest, and possess other positive qualities. I do not enjoy interacting with those who are rude or unfriendly.
