Evening, this is just a light-hearted post prompted by some “dog quotes” that I stumbled across on some websites. This post uses quotes by people and I have put a business spin on them. I have noted the person whose quote it is if it is known.
“A dog has lots of friends because he wags his tail and not his tongue”
In business this means that you should always be active. Don’t just talk about things you are going to do as chances are you will keep putting them off and never actual do what you intended to do. So, got great ideas? Put them into action now and give yourself a much greater chance of success.
“Don’t accept your dog’s admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful” - Ann Landers
Have you just received praise from a client you have just done some work for? That’s great but don’t let it make you complacent. Always strive to be better. Think of ways to improve your services or even think of new services that you could offer.
“What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog” - Dwight D. Eisenhower
Just seen a big contract on offer from a prospective client but not sure if your company will be seen by the client as big enough to handle it? Go for it. You may not get the work but you will be on the companies radar if you impress them and perhaps they may have some more manageable work for you at a later date.
Has this post given you food for thought?!
