Why the Most Successful Businesses Follow These 7 Natural Laws

Mastering these seven natural laws takes work and practice.

Many entrepreneurs are continually struggling to build their businesses with little to show for it. That could change in a flash for those who know and apply seven natural laws that work behind the scenes to determine whether a business endeavor will succeed or fail. Just as a sailboat must work with the winds to reach its destination, so too must business leaders work with these natural laws to achieve their goals. For businesses that are not performing at their best, consider which of these laws you might be missing.

1. The law of oneness 

In the Western world, many think that people are separate from those around them. This false belief causes individuals to engage in anxiety-inducing rivalry and comparison with others. In this context, businesses fail when they focus on beating the competition, rather than creating the best possible product or service.

Even the phrase "beating the competition" is misguided. It requires believing that there is a limited or fixed amount of success in the first place. The truth is that there's plenty enough to go around.

The primary goal should be to serve as the rising tide that lifts all boats. Always search for the win-win scenario, not the one in which we win at the cost of others.

2. The law of cause and effect

As Isaac Newton noted, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Every decision individuals make, everything they create, everything they do, will have some effect. Every problem encountered and every success achieved are the result of a series of causes.

Simple, right? In theory, of course. But, in practice, individuals need to work in order to refine their filters. Seek to build the skill of being able to identify true root causes -- of good and not so good outcomes. Commit to testing and tinkering to figure out what "causes" create the "effects" desired.

Amazon is a trailblazer for collecting and using data to create the outcomes it wants. Rather than resting on its laurels, it continually tests and analyzes past data to grow its online presence and uses predictive analytics to keep itself at the market forefront.
