As a commercial property manager, I’m often asked why we don’t “put Starbucks {or name any other big name tenant} in that space?” – referring to available retail space or retail space that is occupied by a struggling tenant.

Success Principle 5: Believe in Yourself
Most entrepreneurs have heard it before:

You can’t do that

Success Principle 4: Believing It’s Possible
This is an interesting story:
Doctors in Texas studying the effect of arthroscopic knee surgery, assigned patients with sore, worn-out kees to one of three surgical procedures: scraping out the knee joint, washing out the joint, or doing nothing.
During the “nothing” operation, doctors anesthetized the patient, made three incisions in the knee as if to insert their surgical instruments, and then pretended to operate. Two years after surgery, patients who underwent the pretend surgery reported the same amount of relief from pain and swelling as those who had received the actual treatments. The brain “expected” the surgery to work and it did.
Finalize Your Vision and Find a Way to Capture It
he past week I focused intently on clarifying MY vision for the 7 categories defined in The Success Principles.

There are three categories that remain to be clarified: relationships, personal goals and contributions to the larger community.
