Here are more tips on "secrets" to business success .....
1. Make friends everywhere. Friends will support you when times are good and when they're bad. Also friends buy from friends. There are different levels of friendship, of course.
2. Only ever go into partnership with someone you trust with everything you have. Be certain about that.
3. Set clear goals and focus on them. Remind yourself and your team of them often.
4. Check that you're on track. Fix it if you're not.
5. Be clear about what your business is. Avoid getting involved with activities that are shiny but don't have anything to do with your business. That's what spare time is for.
6. Work harder than anyone else. Make sure your clients know that you're working hard for them.
7. Work at being better. Better than your competitors, better than you were yesterday. Quality shows & no-one recommends the second-best.
8. Care more than everyone else. If you really care, it helps all of the above.
9. Be inspired; be inspiring. Nobody wants to be involved with a pointless activity.
What is the secret to business success?
"Find a hungry crowd and give them what they want"
OR more precisely....
Find a hungry crowd (enabled with disposable income - B2C /or generous budgets - B2B) and give them what they need while selling them emotionally on the benefits as something they want.
The hardest skills to harness in that simple statement is the ability to do so at enough of a profit to make it sustainable, and without sacrificing your personal moral and ethical standing to chase the 'almighty dollar'.
To put it another way .....
Providing more value to enough people that they'll pay you to cover your costs with something left over.

The 3 Top Steps to Starting a Truly Successful Business
You want your new business to be successful? Of course ..... so here's 3 tips to set you on the right course.
1 - Plan Out Your Goals ..... If you are still in the initial stages of determining what things you should know about starting a business, then you will need to be sure to write out your financial and business goals. Make a timeline as well for when you hope to achieve them. Why do you want to start a business and what do you hope to accomplish? Do you want something hands-on that will require your presence in order to run smoothly? Or are you hoping for something more automated to allow a more flexible schedule for travelling and family time?
2 - Choose Amazing Mentors ..... The second most important thing you should know about starting a business is to secure a mentor who can help coach and guide you towards success in your chosen field. The most successful people in business have all made it a point to surround themselves with many people .... and at least one close mentor who can be a positive influence and show them the ropes. You can learn from their failures and triumphs and have a huge advantage in your own personal journey towards business ownership!
3 - Study Online Marketing ..... Possibly the most important of the things you should know about starting a business, is that in this day in age, almost everything is done online. Most of the world tends to shop, socialize, communicate and do business online. So whether you intend on owning a bricks and mortar business or something using the power of the internet, you will need to understand how to market your business online.
Unfortunately some people think that having a website will be enough when it comes to building an online presence. But when you consider the sheer enormity of the world wide web, you need to understand that just having a website without putting any real time into properly marketing and advertising your business online to drive people to your websites, you'll likely just float around the internet and never be found. So it is crucial that you enroll in an online marketing and mentoring school with the ability to train you in the important skills of online branding and internet marketing.
