I speak and teach alot about “Right Thinking” and today my friend, colleague, and mentor David Edens shared with me two concepts that fall in line with right thinking.

Here are two ways to multiply success:

1. Do it RIGHT!
2. Do it RIGHT NOW!

Many people don’t want to put out the effort to do it right. Immediately that old adage “If you don’t have time to do it right the first time how will you ever find time to do it over” comes to mind.

Others are willing to do it right……someday! But on my calendar I can’t find “someday.” I see MonDAY and TuesDAY , WednesDAY, ThursDAY and FriDAY but I don’t see someDAY. TODAY is the day! Let’s move forward. Let’s move forward correctly. And let’s move forward now! That’s the nature of success in business.

Working in Mergers & Acquisitions I’m always surprised when brokers have a lackadaisical attitude about representing their sellers and aren’t prompt in providing complete and thorough information. Hello! Nobody gets paid until the deal closes. The deal can’t close until the introductions are made, the information is exchanged, the due diligence is performed, and the agreements are established. When is that going to start? How about now?

I’m also puzzled by people trying to sell their companies or looking for capital infusions without having done the hard work to get the company up and into presentable shape and ready for its story to be sold. If you haven’t clearly articulated precisely what is being sold, and your financials aren’t exact and audited, you aren’t in the right position to sell your business. When is that going to happen?

Think about the massive progress you could make if you’d make the decision to do it RIGHT and do it RIGHT NOW!
