Three of my favourites: 6 – Learn to say “No”. For example, my work can be categorized into these core groups: (1) writing (articles, my upcoming book) (2) coaching (3) workshop development (4) business development (5) administrative. I think that (1) make a daily plan and (6) learn to say “No&# are two that stand out.

You can easily set the right tone in the workplace by learning to respond to a basic need we all share… which is to be respected and valued. I learnt this from Dale Carnegies book “How to win friends and influence people&#. Smart managers never overlook this fact: loyal, productive employees are one of your biggest assets.

However, I am promoting that every time you start something new and feel the fear of failure, realize that you’re starting an age old tradition that will lead to your success if only you persevere and learn from each failed attempt. Your new motto should be to embrace it…learn from it…and pave the road of success with it.

I have to learn many things that were otherwise handled by others, even in a small company, including working on branding, financials, marketing, and sales. With every failed attempt, we learn something new and adjust our approach. It’s then that you begin to experiment, fail, take note of lessons learned, and repeat.

I learned a couple of weeks ago that my father has been diagnosed with Alzheimers disease. Most of all, I loved his stories about how he grew up and the lessons he learned on the street corners, in the shops, the alleys, from peoples follies in the heart of Iran, in Tehran. Im still absorbing what this means. This may seem trivial.
