You were probably taught not to do these things. Ignore that bad advice.

If you want to be successful in business (and in life), there are a few important rules you need to follow.

Never pick a fight.

Never purposefully offend anyone.

Never make the same mistake twice.

You know why some people stand out from the crowd and achieve success while others flounder? It’s not because they’re doing everything the way everyone else is.

While calling someone out might offend them, sometimes it’s also the only way to get their attention. (Pro tip: successful people are no one’s doormats.)
