what i learned? SO many things.
-your reputation is everything. in the business world, you have many tough decisions where it is could be easy to make disparaging remarks about someone else or to get involved in shady situations. you can't fake being a good, honest, trustworthy person. you need to be this person and it will really get you far. just be friendly, approachable, and honest and you will be amazed at how eventually that reputation will be reflected in your business.

QFT. One of my old professors, a former Fortune 50 CEO said it best in my mind. "Perseverance, Sincerity, Discipline - without these 3 attributes you will not succeed [longterm] in business."
I don't underestimate the personality traits of those who are 'warm and friendly' as well, but I'll invest with a hardworking, honest, run-thru-a-wall manager even if he's not Little Miss Sunshine. The opposite is unlikely to be true.
