Hello everyone and here we are once again to exchange words and perhaps some great ideas to grow your mind or your business. I have been writing for a few years on this blog and it has been so successful and for that I thank all my supporters and all my readers. I love what I write and I love to write for all of you.
I have a question to ask all of you; What do you think when you see a beautiful flower? I think it is all about perspective. You see one may see a beautiful flower and another may see a poisonous plant. My friends life is what we make it and if yo have a business it also is what you make of it. Though in business you might need some assistance and one time or another.
The greatest of all success rules is this: do unto others as you would if you were the others.
The Golden Rule is more than a principle of ethical behavior; it is a
dynamic force that can work good in the lives of untold numbers of
people. When you make it a practice to treat others as though you were
the others, you spread goodwill among people who, in turn, may be moved
to do the same. By their actions, they influence still more people, who
generate goodwill among even more people. This force for goodwill
increases exponentially and will return to you from totally new sources.
The benefit you receive from a good deed performed today by a total
stranger may have been a chain reaction from long ago when you observed
the Golden Rule in your own dealings with another.
It is a new year now so how do we start it? Well my friends the real question becomes what will you as an individual make this year to be. My friends in business sometimes we look for something that is not there and thus we make it worse because of the stories we tell ourselves or the stories that we allow our minds to create.
The most important thing to remember is that we need to stop thinking about our failures and pour past and focus more in the now!! This is one of the hardest things a person can do and why may you ask. Well friends it is because most people live on what I call routine everyday doing the same thing over and over, You know people say that doing the same thing over and over will eventually drive you to insanity.
So let us talk more personally my friends! What will it be or better yet what is it that you want this new year!!!! It will be all about what you as a person have in mind and what it is that you want to accomplish. This will also take you into a new area of your life because you are making a choice and remember that we are where we are because the choices we have made.

BUSINESS
In business this will also be a choice will it not. Of course it will be simply because we are making the choices as well. In business it is no different simply because we will hire the right or the wrong people though at times we may not know who we hire because we do not know them.
Our goals can sometimes become pretty difficult to figure out, however they can be repaired before they become monster in our lives by either taking a step back and looking real closely to where we are going.
We can also change our course by hiring someone to assist us in coaching us to make better choices or just to look at our business from a different perspective.
Here a few tips for you that I found just for small businesses.
You may be in Mail Order, Direct Mail, or you may be a local merchant with
150 employees; whichever, however or whatever---you've got to know how to keep
your business alive during economic recessions. Anytime the cash flow in a business,
large or small, starts to tighten up, the money management of that business
has to be run as a "tight ship."Some of the things you can and should do include protecting yourself from expenditures
made on sudden impulse.
We've all bought merchandise or services we really didn't
need simply because we were in the mood, or perhaps in response to the flamboyancy
of the advertising or the persuasiveness of the salesperson. Then we sort of
"wake up" a couple of days later and find that we've committed hundreds of dollars
of business funds for an item or service that's not essential to the success
of our own business, when really pressing items had been waiting for those dollars.If you are incorporated, you can eliminate these "impulse purchases" by including
in your by-laws a clause that states:
"All purchasing decisions over (a certain
amount) are contingent upon approval by the board of directors." This will force
you to consider any "impulse purchases" of considerable cost, and may even be
a reminder in the case of smaller purchases.If your business is a partnership, you can state, when faced with a buying
decision, that all purchases are contingent upon the approval of a third party.
In reality, the third party can be your partner, one of your department heads,
or even one of your suppliers.
Remember that everything is about understanding your customers and though you as a business owner may understand it and what it means the real question you need to ask yourself is: Do your employees understand what it means? here is an old video but the content is awesome. check it out.
