Animals Have Good Business Traits?
We may not all be great animal lovers, but there are lessons we can apply from the common traits that we observe in them. It is as though God wants to plant visual object lessons all around us in such a way that even the most illiterate person can by observing and thinking apply key principles to their life and work.
Since I have just become a pet owner, I’m picking up some of those principles in a fresh way. However, others have done quite intricate and scientific studies comparing instinctive animal habits with character traits that would be good for us to adopt as well.
Would you like to follow me as I mull over some examples? Let’s try to focus our thoughts on those that show how to succeed with our business, since that’s our slant here already.
Ah, the humble but industrious little ant comes to mind quickly. Starting and running a business means work, and more work. You have to commit to keeping at it over the long haul, but in the end you can accomplish a lot.

There are many others, of course. Now you can draw up your own list and see how long it grows.
If you create a really long and exceptional list, I’d be glad to see it.
