2. Be computer literate in word processing, an accounting program, data processing and surfing the web.
3. Hire an excellent, trustworthy accountant.
4. Have a written business plan.
5. Be organized--personally and in business.
6. Show up and be on time for all appointments.
7. Start small.
8. Pay yourself first and save/invest 10% of each paycheck.
9. Mentor your staff.
10. Hire slowly and carefully and fire quickly, when necessary.
11. Be active in the Chamber of Commerce and the community-participate and contribute.
12. Meditate daily-at least 24 minutes (one minute for each hour of the day) alone and in silence.
