If you haven’t heard of Dan S. Kennedy, he happens to be a business guru who helps other people across the globe start their own small businesses through his books, seminars, and teachings. He also happens to operate a website GKIC which offers packages for mentoring aspiring owners and operators.
His approach is pretty direct and he happens to have some of the best advice on success in the business world that I’ve found among business authors.
One of his books happens to share a lot of wisdom on how to develop a better mindset, which is my aim with this specific post.
In order to give readers an idea of how Dan S. Kennedy can help improve your outlook towards the future whether it be through a job or a business, I felt like sharing some of his quotes. Listed below, is a composition of some of his best quotes from the book “How to Succeed In Business By Breaking All The Rules.”
Here they are:
- “Shake Things up. Try doing the opposite and see if that works even better.”
- “Give in charity but never give in business. Place the highest possible value on your expertise and confidently present that value to the world.”
- “If you have a good education, by all means make the most of it. But never use a lack of formal education as an excuse and never let yourself feel inferior to those with better formal educations.”
- “What others perceive as arrogance may very well be the level of confidence, self-promotion, and pushiness necessary.”
- “Be wary of the “quitter” label. Rethink your ideas about goals, persistence, success, and failure. Focus on “testing”. And look for that which is easiest for you to do, that can take you in the direction you want to go.”
- “As with just about everything else, the experts are more often wrong than right about where, when, and how to invest your money.”
- “Self-reliance is a wonderful thing.”
- “Don’t let yourself get eaten up inside with envy or jealousy. Focus, instead, on putting yourself in as many situations and circumstances where good luck can occur as possible. Then you’ll get your share.”
- “Those who are constantly harping at you to slow down and take it easy probably do not understand what makes you tick, what gives you fulfillment in life, or what is necessary to succeed in the environment that you operate in.”
- “Avoid seduction by technology. Ask yourself tough questions to determine whether the technology you let into your life is genuinely working for you, to your advantage, or against you, to your disadvantage.”
- “Have the courage to not use the trendy, popular technology if it is not right for you.”
- “Learn to stand out from the crowd in every positive way possible, but most of all, in your willingness to roll up your sleeves and do the dirty work.”
- “Stop letting lack of money imprison you. There’s abundant evidence all around you that you can turn your ideas into a successful enterprise without having a lot of capital.”
- “If it ain’t broke, challenge it anyway. Ask bizarre questions.”
There you have it, some of the most noteworthy quotes from the business book written by Dan S. Kennedy. Use some of these quotes and write them down as they will likely help tremendously with developing a change in mindset.
Rather than creating more for yourself and constantly trying to do more, sometimes you have to cut certain things out of your life in order to optimize your lifestyle. Especially technology. The materials we own can often time enslave our minds to a certain particular lifestyle.
If you are always instantly accessible to people change that position. Exempt yourself from immediate connectivity. Focus on how you can create your own success.
In order to develop yourself, take some alone time to yourself. Figure out where you need to spend more of your time and brainstorm a way in which you can expand and market your passions!
What do successful people do?
- They manage and track finances in a well orderly manner.
- They manage time effectively and wisely.
- They view life in a bright, optimistic, positive way.
- They easily solve conflicts and problems that arise.
