I found, from hiring more than 300 people over the past 6 years, a few things that people do right and a few things that people do wrong. A lot of companies hire people based on these criteria.
A lot of entrepreneurs have some of these positive characteristics. It helps you become a better entrepreneur, better if you have a job and better on any kinds of projects that you are running in your life.
What is the first thing that is very good to have if you want to get shit done?
A lot of people spend the majority of their time looking that they are busy. What does this mean?
They have a set of habits like check email every 5 seconds, check Facebook every 15 seconds, go get coffee, go get tea, go to smoke and that keeps going and going all day. That way you look very busy. It looks very legit. It looks like you are hustling hard, but in fact nothing has been accomplished for that day.
Here is what a successful entrepreneur does. Successful person makes sure that he focuses 100% not on the extra work, but on the result. That is what makes the biggest difference.
Another thing is that people meet obstacles. Successful person do not know how to solve something. He needs to go to someone else, he emails a client or an employer and if he does not get a reply, he keeps pushing and he keeps asking the question until he gets what he needs.
Successful people are pushers. They make shit happen as opposed to just sending an email and make excuses of not getting a reply. These people are super persistent. They do not care if the CEO blocks them on Skype. They keep pushing until they get what they need to complete the project. That is the major difference between winners and losers.
You will be surprised how many people told me that they emailed me and did not receive a reply and that is why they did not continue the project. That is not an excuse.
In the real world it is all about the end result. The end result means more money for the company, higher return on investment and results for the clients.
Winners usually work in teams. You will find that the most successful companies and entrepreneurs work in teams. Successful people make 100% sure that everyone including themselves is communicating and everyone is up to date about what is going on.
You cannot just rely on yourself during the whole project. You need to make sure that you are communicating with everyone in the team.
There is a level of communication that most people do and there is a professional level of communication.
The professional level of communication is when you over communicate. Even if you think that you are sending too much information, you are letting them know too much about the project, it is fine. You do not know what they are working on every second. They may need to know what you are doing and what is happening.
When there is any kind of change on the project, any kind of delay or something goes better or worse, they make sure that everyone is 100% up to date. And when they need to let the client know, the client is always up to date of what is actually going on.
That means that the project goes faster and the client know when something is going to get delivered. If it is late they might be a little upset. But if you tell them that it is going to be delivered tomorrow and in fact it will be next week, then that is a big problem.
That is why over communication is huge. Do not be afraid of over communicating with clients, with business partners, with employees and so on. It works really well. That is what real winners, people who get shit done do.
