Step 1
Apply your full energy and effort to your business pursuits at all times by considering your business endeavors to be a matter of survival.
-
Step 2
Use the tools available around you for non-designed purposes and as an extension of your own being. If you are in a management position use this principle to make best use of the talent you have working under you. Always approach a problem with the mindset that you already have the tools to solve it, you just need to figure out how to properly use them.
-
Step 3
Undertake business ventures including losses and successes quietly and modestly. You can feel proud of your work but don't boast about it since haughtiness is the first step towards vulnerability for a business ninja.
-
Step 4
Be aware of your business surroundings at all times, paying special attention to the areas of business that you least expect to find a threat or a potentially profitable innovation.
-
Step 5
Observe a code of honor and discipline with rigor so that you don't cross ethical boundaries (and later wind up in trouble) or neglect some of your duties to your employees, employers or shareholders.
-
Step 6
Master the art of concealment and distraction so you can approach a business opportunity without alerting your competition or diffuse a potentially damaging situation without alarming your colleagues.
