1. HAVING Z E R O E X P E C T A T I O N S

The business world is ruthless. It is the best versus the best. It is ultra-competitive. And only the toughest survive, let alone prosper. I’ve done business across the World. I’ve trained huge numbers of people in business. And I've experienced something that I think it is important to share. Life is better if you have zero expectations.

Human beings will always make mistakes. People will turn up late for business meetings, projects will be delayed, legal agreements won't play out as intended, equity deals will fall apart at the eleventh hour. All of these things happen in business all of the time. And if you let these undesirable occurrences get under your skin, you have many sleepless nights ahead of you! Because the more successful you become, the more requirements there will be on you to handle pressure. But if you have no expectations of other people, then you experience happiness even if only a minuscule amount of progress is made.

If you even get close to a deadline then you're delighted, as you never expected this to happen. When somebody leaves your company, you see it as a blessing, as they are moving on to something that will make them happy. And you can be grateful for the job that they have done for you. Having no expectations is the formula for happiness.

No-one and nothing can disappoint you. And when agreements don't work, you thank people who let you down. Because you should know that this is one less individual between you and your rise to the top.
