Are you helping or hurting your business?

I can't believe how much there is to learn about the business world.

I mean, as a teacher, all I knew is how the school and classroom run, that's about all! I never needed to learn "new math" to become a better teacher. I obviously participated in professional development, but it was all within the context of teaching.

As a small business owner, I realize that learning never ends and there are endless ways to grown your business.

After a year, there is one thing I learned that is essential if you want to be successful . . .



Build quality relationships built on mutual respect.



Funny enough, that was how I became such a great teacher, doing the very same thing. I never took any business classes, but that was something that just came natural. I didn't think there was anything in common with my past and current profession, but I was wrong.

One thing I notice in the business world is that I can always count on someone trying to sell me something . . . whether it be a product, a service or a way of thinking. Some of these people - I don't even know.

Why do they think they can do this??

They want business NOW!!

As I have said before, I am blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people. And through those relationships, yes, I have decided to "buy" what they WEREN'T selling to me.

Why, because I trust who they were and had respect for what they did and how they did it.

Although people go into business to be successful, not everyone is ready for the price they have to pay to gain that success . . . TIME.

Take the time to connect with others and build mutual respect and trust . . .


Just see what comes your way then!
