I sat back the other night and reflected on running a business and how this translates to Management Resolutions as a receiver. What I came to realize was that you learn from a variety of sources and all are attributes that you must have to succeed. The conclusion I came to for Management Resolutions was the following:

Integrity & Honesty: Am I treating others people the way I would like to be treated? Be trusted at all costs.

Hard Work: Can they take this away? No. There is no substitute for hard work.

Passion for the Business: This isn’t a job, it’s a career. Become a student, learn all you can. Best the best you can be. Admit when you need to find the answer, the passion!

Work for Food: I always said as long as I put food on the table I am happy. Everything else is a gift.

Communication: Be open and communicate. Have strong written and verbal communication ability. Seek the education to assistance.

Think Like an Entrepreneur: No matter what, thinking like an entrepreneur embodies one to always listen, ask questions and react. An owner will always strive for the right action, decision and outcome.

Get a Mentor: Always have someone you can gain knowledge from and remember to share yourself with others as a mentor.

Give Back to the Community: Find a cause you feel strongly about and support them. Try the old fashioned tithe method and give 10% of income but also give of your time and services.

I apply these eight philosophies as a principal of Management Resolutions and this translates to each of our receivership assignments.
