  3. / Page 3 Business karma trumps a business plan Wish #1
  4. / Page 4 DO GREAT WORK Don’t think of everything in terms of return. Put forth your best work and the money will follow. TREAT PEOPLE WITH KINDNESS In the long run, being kind will get you farther than any business strategy. We were able to grow organically, through repeat work and word-of-mouth, because we are nice people. MAKE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS Don’t write people off just because they can’t do anything for you at the moment. I’ve found some of my best employees and favorite clients through connections that I least expected to lead to business. You never know!

  5. / Page 5 Wish #2 Nobody knows everything
  6. / Page 6 I knew I didn’t know everything, and sometimes thinking about how much I didn’t know held me back. I would compare myself to other people who seemed to know more than me (or so I thought). I asked questions and found out they felt just as scared and insecure as I was. I NEED TO KNOW: W I S H # 2 Nobody knows everything What I do know and focus on that What I believe in, and what I’m willing and not willing to do. What I want so I know where I’m going. What I want to leave behind, so I know what I’m building.
  7. / Page 7 Not everyone I hire will succeed Wish #3

(and that’s my fault) W I S H # 3 Not everyone I hire will succeed Take too much Want too much attention Demand too much Don’t exemplify companies values Misuse company resources Don’t take pride in their work Want more structure Don’t contribute to company culture Don’t know what they want
  9. / Page 9 Find people that are better than me Wish #4
  10. / Page 10 As a founder, I originally had to do “everything”, but that doesn’t mean I wanted to. I learned my real job was to find people who do certain jobs better than me. DEDICATED EMPLOYEES Take Finance. I sent invoices when I felt like it. Apparently that’s not the way to do it. So, I found dedicated people who not only send invoices routinely and on time, but like to create projections and financial models. They truly help me understand how to run an efficient, profitable business. W I S H # 4 Find people that are better than me My Job Now Things I love Necessary things I don’t love
