A layman’s look at Neil Patel’s top rules for success, annotated

A layman’s look at Neil Patel’s top rules for success, annotated:

1.     Make sure your product or service is truly valuable and aboveboard.

2.     Make it easy for people to pay you. Never stand in the way of an order.

3.     Stop thinking about it: Just go do it.

4.     Move quickly. Get stuff done. Don’t waste precious time.

5.     Make no excuses. Either you will do it or you won’t.

6.     Don’t worry about being perfect. Produce, don’t deduce.

7.     Be creative. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. Take risks.

8.     Sales are more important than traffic. Optimize for conversion, not for visitors.

9.     How to succeed in business: Find out what people want, and make it available.

10.  Love what you are doing or do something else. Your work should be your joy.

Some people, you can visit with for an hour or two and  be hard-pressed to come up with a take-away – something you are compelled to write down and hold on to.

§  Two minutes and you know you’re speaking with one intelligent guy

§  Ten minutes and you’re scribbling furiously in your notebook

§  Thirty minutes and you can’t wait to go put some of what you’ve learned into action

Maybe Nike beat him to the trademark, but I’ll bet Neil had the idea first: Just (go) do it.
