BUSINESS CONTAINS ONLY 3 THINGS:

by Rick Baker
On Aug 25, 2011
PEOPLE, PROCESS, & SITUATIONS
 
Focus your strengths on people and situations.
 
You can simplify your approach to business by accepting the conclusion – business contains only 3 things: people, process, and situations. When you create this short list it increases the likelihood you will give people and situations the attention they deserve…and must have…if you are to excel as a leader.
 
How often do you get annoyed at people who offer sincere attention and service to you?
 
Think back to the early years of your career. Does one of your first bosses glow in your mind?
 
What causes that glow in your memory…
  • A bit of praise: perhaps, you were brought front and center to receive it?
  • Some helpful words, when you needed to hear them most?
  • Rolling up sleeves together, all hands on deck to tackle a tough job?
  • A joke, where the boss smiled as broadly as the rest of the group?
  • A listening pair of ears, when you needed to blow off some steam?
These are the glowing memories of the things bosses and mentors did for me…and I will never forget.
 
It is your time to create such memories.

Sales Tweets #289

Sales Tweet #289 The Boss had a horrible nightmare last night. The Boss was in San Francisco and the earth began to shake.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
In the weird dream, The New Guy was with The Boss like they were friends or something. It was a nightmare! The earth kept shaking and The New Guy kept talking about the fault lines that cause the problem. The New Guy asked The Boss if he had ever seen a fault up close. The Boss confirmed he had not. Then The New Guy handed him a mirror. That's when The Boss woke up in a cold sweat.
