Joe Ball 60 Years — We’d like to note that 2016 marks the 60th year that Joe Ball of American News Service in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. has been an entrepreneur and business owner.
His ventures have included advertising agency, newspaper and book publishing, and radio.
“My son-in-law, Rob Meyers, an entrepreneur himself, put the aforementioned in perspective recently when said to me: ‘You’ve had a good run!'” Ball says.
He is providing these tips for those interested in entrepreneurship:
Be yourself
Have a sense of humor
Compromise
Be honest
Hire and work with smart people
Persevere
Do not hear the first “No”
Read newspaper & books
Give before you get
Best contacts are person-to-person
Invest disposable income
Say “Thank you”
Be a doer – – and do it now
Exercise
Do things in moderation
Live in today
Find an occupation where you look forward to your day. (I tell people: “I haven’t worked a day in my life”)
Your ideas ideas/goals mean zero, unless you put them into being
