How to achieve the best in life and business by Josh Verne

Posted on by admin

Josh Verne is a famous American entrepreneur and businessman. He ones served as a co-president of Home Line Furniture. In 2012, Verne and his friend Jon Dorfman founded an online marketplace called workpays.me and acted as the company CEO. This was until 2014 when he sold the company to Global Analytics Holding. Josh Verne later founded Flocku.com, a peer-to-peer content exchange for college students. Verne highlights following tips as a source of success.

Don’t be a commander in life.

When it comes to business, you can either be a boss or a leader. When you are the boss, you dictate to your juniors to gain respect and achieve their objectives. A leader treats his or her juniors with respect so that they also respect him or her. When the juniors comply with the boss, it becomes easier to achieve the goals they set together. For success in business, you must be a good leader. It becomes simpler to learn a business and achieve business goals if you work together.

Be ready to bargain.

Always ensure that your business is beneficial to you, the client and the society. Never be willing to let the customer go.

Always be willing to listen.

Speak less to give your words more power when time comes for you to speak. People will take their time to listen to you when you shall have something to say.

Ensure you always balance your life.

Do not put all your energies into business alone, have time for other life aspects. You should progress not only in business but also in a family relationship, health, and friendships.
