Beware of those Contacts who Exude Greed
This blog is so incredibly therapeutic for me because simply writing about my experiences helps me to see things I could not see before. Beware of those who always come at you as if YOU need THEM. After all they are coming to YOU aren’t they? I have three words that are utmost important in the success of your small business especially if you want to grow into a big business one day or even sell KNOW YOUR VALUE! And NEVER question it or allow anyone else to do it. How do you know your value? The BEST way to determine it… do your clients automatically keep coming back! I could end this section RIGHT THERE. In ANY business from a dry cleaner to a corporate sales executive to a street walking prostitute… people come back to the place they see the MOST value. Then there are those who want everything for free but the point is, THEY ARE COMING TO YOU… so don’t be afraid to say no and keep it moving. Truth be told, people who come to you and want you to provide services for free usually don’t have any money or they have welfare mentality. ‘Why should I pay for something when I can get it for free, even if that means putting someone down to get it!’ My GREATEST advice on this issue… NEVER TELL ANYONE WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE EXCEPT those who can help you get there DIRECTLY. Beware of people who you discuss your ideas with who always turn it into an opportunity for themselves. You didn’t invite them to take part but they are going to take part anyway. These people HURT your goals and the less they know the better off you are. You will often get discouraged by talking to them, once again BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS make sure you surround yourself with WINNERS if you want to be a Winner. Nobody can do what you can do and you don’t know what you can do UNTIL YOU DO IT! (click “next”)
