trust and the "go and do" attitude

There are two characteristics that can help the run of the mill businessman shine.  The first, is their ability to display trust in their workers and especially their clientele.  They can do this by training their workers how to do the job right, and hold them to that expectation; not by hovering over them, but by micromanaging and judging their results.  You are not running a business to counsel and build up the weak workers but to run with the strong ones.  If you have a worker who needs constant direction or prodding to do an honest job, then they are not the champion that you seek to build up your team.  The second point is practicing and seeking a "go and do" mindset.  If there is a challenge placed before you, be a yes man and don't delay or delegate the responsibility.  People want to hire and work with individuals who are self sufficient and know how to get a job done despite the circumstances.  These are the most valuable types of individuals one could have work for them.  The trick is, the more you develop these talents, the easier it will be to identify and hire these types of people.

overcoming challenges

In the business world, there needs be challenges to overcome.  That is true for life as well.  Challenges play a huge role in growth, intellectually and spiritually.  Unfortunately, many view challenges as something that is simply in the way of what they want to achieve, an annoying pest that never goes away.  People who carry and support this mindset simultaneously surrender their chance at learning and progressing.  In order to take a difficulty, invest in it, and turn it into a strength, it requires a series of characteristics.  Humility allows us to listen to those who we can learn from.  These could be family, friends, and mentors, but it they could also come in the form of setbacks, mistakes, and disasters.  The truly humble can take the worst of experiences and invest in its memory, rather than haunt themselves by it.  It also takes a fair share of persistence to learn from challenges.  Thomas Edison failed hundreds of times before making a successful light bulb.  Can you imagine what the world today would be like if he never persisted?  There are many challenges that cannot be overcome with one attempt.  You cannot deem something impossible to attain if you give your 110% one time and fall short.  Go through your attempt and find shortcomings, analyze and prepare for another run.
