It&#8217;s the best way to leverage your success.<\/p>\n<p>4. \u00a0Don&#8217;t be afraid to say, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221; \u00a0People will respect you much more and will always place more weight on what you do say&#8230;because they know you&#8217;re right.<\/p>\n<p>5. \u00a0Speak less&#8230; No one ever put their foot in their mouth when they were not speaking. Worse, if you are speaking, you can&#8217;t be listening, and we always learn much more from listening.<\/p>\n<p>6. \u00a0Keep your promises, the big ones and the little ones&#8230;both the starting point and the staying point in any business relationship is trust&#8230;not suspicion. Someone who does what he says he will do will always succeed over a person who doesn&#8217;t keep his word.<\/p>\n<p>7. \u00a0Every transaction has a life of its own&#8230; Some need tender loving care, some need to be hurried away.<\/p>\n<p>8. \u00a0Commit yourself to quality form day one&#8230; It&#8217;s better to do nothing at all than to do something badly.<\/p>\n<p>9. \u00a0Be nice to people&#8230;nice gets nice, and all things being equal, courtesy can be very persuasive.<\/p>\n<p>10. \u00a0Don&#8217;t hog the credit&#8230;share it. People will work with you and for you if they are recognized. They will also work against you if they are not.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1. \u00a0Never underestimate the importance of money. \u00a0It&#8217;s how business people keep score! 2. \u00a0Never overestimate the value of money. \u00a0Cash is important, but sometimes not as important as respect, thanks, integrity, or the thrill of a job well done. 3. \u00a0You can never have too many friends in business&#8230; \u00a0Given a choice always do [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16266"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16266"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16266\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16267,"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16266\/revisions\/16267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesdailyquotes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
