Running a business is no easy feat.
It requires a combination of vision, discipline, and unwavering commitment to the principles that guide you.
Inspired by one of my favorite characters and show (Carmy from The Bear , who wrote up 26 non-negotiables for his restaurant) I want to share how having your own non-negotiables can profoundly impact your entrepreneurial journey.
In both business and life, defining what you absolutely won’t compromise on helps create a strong foundation for success.
Whether it’s ensuring every product meets a certain standard or maintaining your well-being through daily rituals, non-negotiables serve as the bedrock of your personal and professional life.
Carmy’s 26 Non-Negotiables (for Inspiration)
While these rules may be tailored for the restaurant industry, they contain universal truths that can apply to any business.
For example, “Details matter” can translate to ensuring every customer interaction is thoughtful and meaningful, while “Perfect means perfect” emphasizes the importance of high standards in your work.
Creating Your Non-Negotiables: A Step-by-Step Guide
Creating and adhering to non-negotiables isn’t about being rigid; it’s about establishing a framework that supports your growth and the integrity of your business. As entrepreneurs, we face countless decisions every day. Having a set of non-negotiables ensures that those decisions align with our values and goals.
In my own life, I’ve established non-negotiables for my health that keep me grounded and focused:
These practices are non-negotiable because they contribute to my well-being and productivity. They are just as important as the standards I set in my business. What are your non-negotiables in business and health? Identifying these can help you create a foundation for success and well-being in your own life.
Remember, your non-negotiables are the guiding stars that keep you on the path to success. Embrace them, live by them, and let them lead you to a life and business filled with purpose and passion.
Wishing you all my best always,
