The cost of business success is so small. It’s simply things that dont even cost money.Yesterday I was talking to a friend about the cost of business success and he shared with me his sttory. He has a friend who makes furniture, so one day he decided to contract him to do for him some work and he went a head to give him the money to do the work.
A few years later this friend complains that he nolonger gives him work or recommends him. How would I recommend such a guy, he asked me. There’s no way I said, it would come back to haunt you. Just like that the carpenter lost a client but also a person with a great network he would have benefited alot from in terms of referrals. Many small businesses die out or fail because of that, lack of intergrity and professionalism.
Like my mechanic once said, there’s alot of money in this town. You just have to be truthful and honest and all the customers will come to you. Put the spares you say your going put, don’t over price because some how the clients will always get to know anf feel cheated hence never coming back to you. Many mechanics are good but they lack those things, he said.
Its actually funny that these things that make the difference between failure and success dont even need money to have.They are not things you have to buy with money.
