Techniques change, principles never change.
Principles determine what happens. They are the natural laws that govern all people. When you know and understand principles in your life, you can do amazing things.
Why is this important?
You hear everyday “business has changedâ€. It’s true. The times, the technologies, the way we do business changes. These are all techniques. However, the principles that drive human behavior and performance have not and do not change.
Principles that never change:
1) Principle of Excellence – Excellence will always stand out and demand a higher reward.
2) Principle of Discipline – Hard and smart work brings a profit.
3) Principle of Personal Responsibility – I am responsible for my attitude, knowledge, skills, actions, and results.
4) Principle of Personal Development – When I make sure I prepare, then I will be ready when the opportunity arrives.
5) Principle of Relationship and Trust – All human interactions that lift up and encourage require relationship and trust. (This is the goal of Sale One, Sell Yourself.)
6) The Principle of Value, Desire, and Commitment – It’s a foundation for moving forward in any relationship, personal or professional. (This is the goal of Sale Two, Sell the Vehicle.)
7) The Principle of Win-Win – It’s win-win or it’s no deal. When there’s a loser, everyone loses. (This is the goal of Sale Three, Sell the Deal.)
8) The Principle of Fear – Fear is contagious.
9) The Principle of Confidence – Confidence is contagious too.
These are the principles everyone needs to understand. They never change. If your techniques aren’t rooted in these principles, will not produce the maximum and desired effect.

4 å¹´David, thank you for sharing the list. I think I live by many if not all of these principles but I have never seen them presented in such a concise way with such power. Do you think all generations live by these principles or are they changing over time? Cheers Ian
