Whether you treat business as a religion or not, it certainly helps from a commandment or 10.

Google have them. So do I. I recommend everyone in business get these, print these out and put them somewhere you see them daily. Why?

1. Because people who take a public stand and hold themselves to account have been shown to win more often. Dare to hold yourself to account.

2. Because commandments can "command the subconscious mind" to do things that make your business grow.

3. Because you need a certain evangelical zeal to be perceived as a successful company leader, and this shows others that you have this quality.

To give you an example, I'm disclosing my own 10 commandments. These include things that I might "chicken out of doing" without having them to keep me to account every day.

The 10 Beyond The Ceiling Commandments (Embody Daily)

1. Thou shalt engage authentically with lots of people

2. Thou shalt perform

3. Thou shalt care for the person, not the outcome

4. Thou shalt find novel ways to leverage your time better

5. Thou shalt do something that scares you daily 


6. Thou shalt keep organized in all ways

7. Thou shalt keep thine eye on the financial ball


8. Thou shalt schedule and keep a weekly plan of activities

9. Thou shalt record, review and reach thine goals


10. Thou shalt work out a strategy for achieving thine goals

What might yours be? That largely depends on what you need to do most but follow through on least. It also depends on what inspires you. If, for example, you long stopped doing the things in business that you are truly passionate about - you need to put up there "Thou that do what thou lovest every day".

If you are scared of making sales calls - think about the emotion (fear) behind the behavior (making a sales call) - and make a commandment out of that. For example "Thou shalt do something that scares you every day".

Think of all the examples in the past of when you did something scary (personal or work life) and how that got you a result that otherwise would have been impossible. Will your business change tomorrow when you do this? No. But it will do something very important for you: it will start you thinking about the qualities you need to be in your business.

And conceptualizing precedes actualizing, which is a fancy way to say "before you can do it you have to think of it". What is "it"? The new rules of your business you are about to start establishing.
