In his book Raising Eyebrows — A Failed Entrepreneur Finally Gets It Right, Dal LaMagna tells the story of his rise in the beauty industry starting with one pair of tweezers and building it into Tweezerman , the beloved beauty tool line of beauty professionals worldwide.

Here LaMagna — known as a forward-thinking employer — shares his top six people policies for business owners:

> If you want a partner, get two. Then you’ll always be able to get decisions made.

> Make your business good for everyone, from employees to suppliers.

> Be 100% transparent with your workers about all company expenditures.

> Share the profit.

> Don’t blame others when things go wrong; seek solutions.

> Share company problems with employees — and solicit their help.
