4 ‘Naive’ Business Principles for Enduring Success
Ever been told you’re “too nice” to run a business? Yeah, I’m gonna call BS on that.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told I lack the “killer instinct” to run a successful business.
All I can say is, I’ve been very happy with the success of Copyblogger and my other businesses. In this 15-minute episode, I talk about four “Naive Business Principles” that I think any business can profitably adopt — whether it’s a one-person show or an international mega company.

- Nothing matters more than people
- Cluelessness can be an asset (if you do it right)
