1. Love what you do - passion trumps skills every time
2. Hire authentic people - surround yourself with a team as passionate about your community and value as you are
3. Acknowledge your weaknesses - list them out and be honest about the fact that YOU don't have to do EVERYTHING in your business yourself
4. Talk to everyone - your entire business matters at all levels, so you need to be in touch with every person who works in your business
5. Make customer connections - show up where your customers are, talk to them, hear their concerns, and build your own reputation
Most importantly: Be Yourself. Stop trying to be a cookie cutter business. The key to being successful is to just be yourself.
