SquareFish Business Mantras
Over many years in many businesses, we’ve built up some Business Mantras. Small lessons we regularly remind ourselves of, that help keep us on track in everything we do.
You cannot add anything
Every resource is finite. If you try and add something, you are really replacing or diluting something else.
Most decisions are made Emotionally, then justified Logically
How the emotional brain makes the decision to buy, before handing over to the logical part of the brain to find the excuse.
Do it Right or Not At All
The important part of this is the ‘Not at all’. It's completely fine to not do something in business. In fact, you should not do lots of things.
Everything needs a plan
Think and plan more, do less. Why even a five-minute phone call needs a plan.
The Good vs Perfect Trap
Doing something too well is just as bad for business as doing it too badly. Pick the correct quality level and work to it.
Business has no place for negative emotions
Why there's no place for negative emotions when running a business.
Why Reasons Don’t Matter
Why an entrepreneur should never justify failings with good reasons.
It’s All My Fault
Why the Entrepreneur should view everything as their fault - the good and the bad alike.
