what are some of the good tips you've found in all those self help books?

What works, what doesn't?

Are there different rules for men and women or are we all playing with the same dice?

I've never been good in the business world. Too blunt. :o

I think being married, for men at least, is part of the good image.

I've not been too good at that either. :o

Its a tough ladder - I think listening is so important.

Communication - if you don't understand - don't be intimidated to ask questions.

The more questions asked - shows interest - shows the commitment - also a learning tool for growth. The more you know the more valuable you are.

Do a thorough job - not just a ok job.

The list could go on & on, I feel the above is the most important, other than the obvious as be on time - clean - etc..

I know one thing that a very shrewd businessman does, he never does anything for free.
