Wise words of advice

Here's a few words of wisdom offered to me by a successful entrepreneur:

Be open and honest with your partners. Be generous in taking them on. If they are silent partners always pay them their share of their profit. Never forget that they were there in the beginning and helped with the above items. Never begrudge them sharing in your success. Always deal with them, suppliers and customers in a win-win arrangement. If your supplier sends you one extra memory stick and it is not on the invoice – phone them and tell them (always). Then maybe one day your customers will show you the same courtesy.
