The other day I was conducting a group interview at one ofmy off-line businesses. I was addressing about 15 applicantsfor an office position and going over the three basiccharacter traits that I require. I've talked about these same principles with every applicant since I started hiring help for my businesses in 1976 and have since hired hundreds of people.I have hired and worked people of virtually all types: men; women;gay; straight; various races and religions; tall; short; skinny; fat. See, to me, it's not any of that. It's the character and heart of anindividual that matters. As I explained to them, these 3 traits are not only what Irequire of employees, but what I look for in anyone I associatewith, whether they are vendors, advisors or friends. As aremost values, these were taught to me at an early age by myparents. They are:Honesty-Dependability-AttitudeHonesty-I only want to deal with honest people and Im not justtalking about stealing. I mean people who, if you ask them aquestion, they will tell you the truth-good-bad-or ugly! Andsometimes it isnt only what you say that is dishonest, it iswhat you dont say. My dad always said that lying was the sameas stealing and aside from the fibs we tell for politeness (thatwas a good dinner Mrs. Jones), I believe he was right.Honesty in your business is a major key to long term success!!Dependability-I was raised in a successful family business andstarted working on the payroll when I was twelve. In my family,you didnt miss school or work unless you were too sick to getout of bed. Otherwise, you dragged yourself in and hoped some-body would have mercy and send you home. I was also taught to always arrive at least 10 minutes early forany scheduled event. There was no "fashionably late" to my dad.Of course the result has been countless hours of waiting onother people throughout my life and being the first to arriveat parties.Very few people today are that dependable and even fewer youngpeople and kids are being taught these lessons. I call beinghabitually late and/or no showing, "The Silent Killers", becausevery few customers or friends will tell you that being undepend-able is why they no longer associate or do business with you!Ive found by starting and running eight successful businesses,in varied fields and arenas, that just being dependable andtrying your best to keep regular hours, live up to your com-mitments in a timely fashion and being consistent; can give youa big head start on the competition.Dependability alone can separate your business from the field!!Attitude-Last but certainly not least is attitude. The longer welive, the more we understand that our attitude is the one and onlything that we have 100% control over! Im sure Ill have plenty tosay about attitude in future issues, so just a couple of thoughts.Your attitude determines not only your honesty and dependabilitybut also all of your other actions. It ultimately will determinenot only the success of your business but of your entire life!Put simply, your attitude is determined by your thoughts, and yourthoughts are determined largely by what you allow yourself to focusor dwell on. Each and every day we have to be vigilant about whatwe choose to watch, read and listen to. Our attitude can also beinfluenced by those we choose to associate with. So choose wisely!I certainly have times when my attitude gets sour. We all have baddays! I like the analogy of the garden, where our good thoughts,influences and associations are like the fruits, vegetables andflowers. They need constant tending and attention to grow. Whereas,the negative or self-defeating thoughts and influences are like theweeds, they have to be pulled constantly. Unlike the flowers, doingnothing favors the weeds and they will take over the garden.So invest in the tools that will help you understand how to build andmaintain a positive, winning attitude. Your investment will paydividends not only in your business but in your personal and spirituallife as well.Your attitude will ultimately determine the success of your business!!Do the thing and youll have the power!!
