I have to admit, I enjoy lists. Succinct, to the point, getting messages across without wasting anyone’s time. I recently read Chris Evans’ autobiography, who had the neat idea of preceding each chapter with a simple list.
Talking about his deal with Richard Branson back when he was at Virgin Radio, he lists 10 things necessary to get a deal done.
Timing
Groundwork
Energy
Honesty
Holding your nerve
Two willing parties
Money in place
Two men on the inside
A Pen
Whilst he didn’t list hiring a great pr agency as one of them (of course a fatal flaw!), this is a great and simple summary with points three and four of particular importance, be it business or personal. Energy, and honesty should always be a key part of business mantra!
