    15 Things Every Business Owner Should Know

    1. Always remember: Cash is king.
    2. Cash may be king, but it's not everything.
    3. Culture matters.
    4. Systems can be humane.
    5. Character is key when hiring new employees.
    6. To grow, you must first learn to delegate and to trust.
    7. Plan for rainy days.
    8. Working with partners is easier said than done.
    9. Keeping good records is also easier said than done.
    10. To engage workers, let them call (some of) the shots.
    11. Customer service is not a department. It's a way of life.
    12. The best salespeople thrive on rejection.
    13. Knowing how to control clients is an art.
    14. Failures are good for you.
    15. You need to leave yourself time to dream.

          #16. If you are naive enough to think your employees aren't stealing from you now, be realistic enough to know they will steal from you in the future. Plan accordingly.

                                    It seems to be a rite of passage that young adult mormons are sent on mission. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary_(LDS_Church)

                                    As missionaries the majority of them go door to door trying to convert people. Mormons I have known have told me about how they would go to giant high rise apartment buildings, start at the top floor and spend their entire day going door to door, knocking, and trying to spread the good word.

                                    No one on earth knows rejection like someone trying to sell religion unsolicited, door to door, face to face. Mormans make hard as nails sales people. When it comes to selling they have no fear, no hang ups. If you want someone dyed in the wool that will pitch your line, word for word with absolute conviction find a mormon / recovering LDS.
