Business Relationships: What We Can Learn From Charities
If you’re an entrepreneur, you’ve undoubtedly learned that your success depends on your relationships, be it with your customers, suppliers, and other business people in your industry. You may have had someone give you valuable advice, teach you a skill, or provide constructive criticism. It’s true that even if you’re a solo entrepreneur, you can’t do it alone.More and more businesses are finding value in joint ventures, strategic alignments, and co-branding. How do these businesses find each other? The businesses didn’t. The humans in the businesses did, demonstrating that human relationships are critical.Often, people s

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to always have drama in their lives, while others simply go with the flow? Or why one group of people are happy and content most the time, while some seem to only attract anger and chaos

Make A Name For Yourself, Or Someone Else Will
You no longer have your name - you have your name, PLUS, what people say after it.I realized this axiom years ago during the first few years of wearing a nametag 24-7. See, while that time wasn't the most comfortable or productive, it was certainly the most interesting and enlightening. Probably because the idea was still evolving; and wearing a nametag was still SO organic that every day brought about exciting new moments its evolution.By the time I graduated college, strangers began to approach me not only to ask why I was wearing a nametag; but also to ask if I was, in fact, “That Guy Who Wore the Nametag.”“Um, yea

Betrayal, it can hit you like a load of bricks falling from the sky, leaving you with a pit in your stomach that no pill can cure.

Starting your own business is hard enough, however when your inside people are working against you as well, it can make the toughest of souls weak at the knees.

Let me take you back a few years, and share a little story with you.

There I was, a fledgling in the corporate world, I had just quit my (steady) job and sold everything I had to venture out into entrepreneur life, when “it never could happen to me” happened.

My closest friend and business partner wiped out our bank account balance, leaving me with debt up to my eyeballs, and a lesson to be learned.

I come from one of those attitudes that believe that everything happens for a reason, so what could this reason be, I pondered?

It was tough; let me tell you - faced with the biggest crossroad of my life.

A failing business with no cash to save me, a close friend’s betrayal, and two roads leading into separate directions.

One, Go after the person who did me wrong, obviously having a slam dunk case and would win in any court, or Two, use that same precious time and energy to focus in a more positive manner on rebuilding what I once had, and learn from the experience, if nothing else, what I would never tolerate again.

What would you do?

For myself, I chose the second of the two, knowing darned well, that by wasting my (thoughts and energy) on ways to get back at this person, and how I could make them suffer as I, there would be little left to focus on what really mattered most.

Creating the business model and dream that I had began on in the first place.

What made me take this route, you ask?

There is an old saying that goes ‘many receive good advice, yet few actually profit from it.‘

Since I chose to succeed, I went back and listen to all my old motivational tapes, thumbed through the books, and messages, got my focus back and quickly realized that we are all dealt obstacles in this world.

I mean, there will always be stumbling blocks in our lives, that’s just part of life itself.

Customer Service for Chambers of Commerce
Customer service is important in any business, we all know that and there can be no relevant debate. However what about the groups that the businesses all belong too? What about the Industry Associations or those small business chambers of commerce in each town; do they give good customer service? Should they? Do they have that as part of their mission statement? Sure their vision statement includes supporting their members, but do they give them good customer service.Recently I was in North Carolina and I talked to a regional Chamber of Commerce and we discussed how their Chamber of Commerce was better than other regional Chamber of

rections.

I believe it’s because what we feel and how we see ourselves on the inside is the direct reflection on how we feel and see the world around us.

Someone once said to me, “we can’t control our circumstances all the time, but we can control our attitude toward them.” A true statement I know, but come on - I was stuck in a tight spot here.

So, there I was - with a BIG decision to make and decided to take on this challenge as just that.

A challenge.

I figured, if I could overcome this situation that seemed so grave at the time, and not only make it through it, but actually grew from it, perhaps, maybe - just maybe my business partner didn’t fail me after all.

Here’s what I did.

I moved on, and buried the past. I went into the office the next day, changed the locks on the door, rolled up my sleeves and never looked back.

It’s amazing what a new coat of paint can do to a dreary old room, and that’s what I did for my business and attitude toward it. Out with the old, and in with the new.

When I called all my customers and explained what had happened, you wouldn’t believe the response. It was like a brotherhood of business people. Each person I spoke with having more advice that the last. It was strange how I felt all-alone, and ashamed for letting someone take advantage of me, while others saw me as a new start up, and simply green behind the ears. Remember, we all make mistakes.

There were many lessons learned that month, and I took the advice given to me by these people, by hiring the best accounting person I could find, and then one of the best of Tax firms to oversee their numbers as well.

By doing so, guess what happened?

My business rose to the highest of dimensions, allowing me to set my sights on growth rather than setbacks, and on the future rather than the past.

That was many, many years ago, the company became a corporation, and eventually the corporation was sold to another.

Now I find myself here, writing this story as if it were yesterday, remembering one of th

There are two type of customer. One is those who browse websites select the items and place the order. They do not waste so much time.

Any type of relationship can be fragile. Your new business can only succeed if those relationships are guarded, protected and nurtured. You do that by treating your clients as if they were cherished friends.

Starting your own business is wonderful but be prepared for the worst. I want to tell you about the one thing you must know.
