Get ready to take notes as Onyi share why business owners should always remember:
- People are emotional about their businesses and to be successful, business should never be emotional
- The strength of a good leader is not that everything crumbles when you leave but that everything stays intact when you are gone
- Everyone in your organization should be replaceable, meaning they can find someone to replace them in their current position and move on to bigger and better things within your organization
- Always surround yourself with smart people and trust them to do their job
- Be a master delegator, find people who are better than you at certain tasks and delegate those tasks to them
- Anything that you envision, that you can see and visualize, you can make happen
- Don’t make business decisions by yourself
Be prepared to be motivated to grow your business with Onyi’s inspiring advice - let’s get hacking!
