There’s a customer born every minute – Barnum’s 10 rules for business success

Famous entrepreneur and showman P.T. Barnum is perhaps best known today for having
said “There’s a sucker born every minute.” However, surprisingly he never said any such
thing. In fact, he believed there was a customer born every minute, and this belief – that
everyone was a potential buyer – was just one of the many solid business principles
supporting his long and successful career. sales

Here at Advance, we hold a similar belief, that the customer needs help exploring their
issues in order to define and create the need for what you can provide them.
Interestingly, in 1852, Barnum was asked his rules for business, which resulted in an
article outlining his ten rules for success.
1. Select the kind of business that suits your natural inclinations and temperament.
2. Let your pledged word ever be sacred.
3. Whatever you do, do with all your might.
4. Sobriety, use no description of intoxicating drinks.
5. Let hope predominate – but be not too visionary.
6. Do not scatter your powers.
7. Engage proper employees.
8. Advertise your business. Do not hide your light under a bushel.
9. Avoid extravagance; and always live considerably within your income, if you can do so
without absolute starvation!
10. Do not depend upon others – every man must be the architect of his own fortune.

Workers choose fun over money

A fun atmosphere or a better salary – what would you choose? Recent research from
recruitment agency Adecco reveals that almost three quarters of British employees would
rather work in a fun rented office space than receive a higher salary.
Andy Powell, director at Adecco, states that "Employers should take heart from the fact
workers we surveyed value a fun working environment over pay" as this brings about loyalty
and a higher level of commitment. serviced offices mayfair

The poll, comprising 1,000 office workers in the UK, concluded that 86% value a fun and
happy atmosphere, and 70% admitted to having worked in an office space where the
employer had neglected to create a “fun spirit”.
As a result of this research, Adecco has launched The Workplace Games in order to
promote fun team activities in the workplace. Led by hurdler Colin Jackson, the aim is to
create friendly competition between the workers through office-based challenges.
