Characteristics of being a good business person:

1. Never dwell for too long in a loss. The sooner you learn to handle loss in business the more ready you are for success because you have just eliminated a strategy . So learn your lesson and move on as quickly as possible.


2. Never enjoy the euphoria of a successful deal for too long.Good business men never celebrate a success for too long lest they lose focus. A night out is ok to celebrate an accomplishment. Some people celebrate for too long thereby losing focus of the tasks ahead.



3.Never make money your highest priority in business. Instead have a passion for winning and showcasing your knowledge. Concentrate more on being the best in what you do,trust me money will be abundant.


4.If you are a seller Never be the first to call a potential buyer when a deadlock is reached. Because whoever calls first stands out as desperate for the deal therefore loses negotiating grounds.


5. If you sell then know your product well. If you buy learn to pick faults in what you are buying. That way you gain better negotiating grounds.


6.Never place too much hope on proceeds of a business deal that hasn't worked. That's why its called a business deal,if both parties don't call it a deal then it doesn't work.


7.Have reliable informants. Be generous yet prudent in giving tips. Earn like a big boy give tips like a wise guy cause you expect good information to direct your decision making in return. Tip whoever inputs to ease your smooth deal. They will always look out for your interest.



8.Be ambitious but not greedy. Always remit what's not yours and seek to reinvest your own cut. That way you are never in lack.



9.Never compromise Quality of your goods or services. Be strict and trustworthy. Go the extra mile and that little extra makes you always stand out.



10. Dress and look successful! You can't be talking of a 200M business deal when you are putting on dirty filed shoes,partially ironed clothes and no business card to offer. Even if you are worth the deal,there will be doubts for your expectant business partner to trust you with such money.
