So I was listening to the book on my iPod called “The Big Moo” by Seth Godin and came across a section that I thought was short and sweet that was a quick part to summarize and share. This section outlines 11 bullet points about how to become a failure in business at a very quick rate. It’s a small but great list that says alot when trying to be great and remarkable in the business world today, or when your trying to grow your business.

How to be a failure you might ask?

1. Keep Secrets.

2. Be sure you are correct and ignore those who disagree with you.

3. Set aggressive deadlines for others but then change them when they are not met.

4. Don’t test your theories.

5. Focus more on what others think.

6. Assume a critical mass must embrace your idea for it to work.

7. Choose an idea where #6 is a requirement.

8. Realize people who don’t get your idea are stupid or bull headed.

9. Don’t work to increase the value of your presentation style.

10. Insist that you have to go directly to the president of the company to get something done.

Bonus #11: Always go for the big win.
