Business Lessons Learned From My Dog

This was very interesting when I read it:
  • Always greet customers with excitement and enthusiasm, even when you just saw them 3 minutes ago. They never grow tired of thinking they are the most important thing in your life.
  • Don't confuse your tail with a goal worth chasing.
  • Sleep as many hours a day as possible, but always be ready to play when the chance arises.
  • Don't be afraid to get dirty, in fact relish it.
  • When the big folks are feasting, if you know how to work things, you'll be able to feast too.
  • Barking alot is annoying, so don't do it often. That way when you do bark, people spring to attention.
  • Don't bark at the mailman. He's been known to have a dog treat in his pocket.
  • The more you show that you don't need a leash, the less you have to wear it. Conversely, if you're always tugging on your leash, you'll always have to wear it.
  • The joy is in digging the hole, not in hiding the bone. But it's also reassuring to know there are a few bones hidden.
  • Biting someone never leads to anything good.
  • Continuously learning new tricks keeps you young.
  • Fool your masters into thinking they are in charge.
