Do you focus on business or play into the stereotype?
My apology for standing on a soapbox this morning, but two incidents arose yesterday of which women, in particular, need to take note. The stereotype of which I am speaking is thinking small and being petty toward others of the same gender. If you are a business owner you are no longer in the sandbox but in a great playing field of the mighty, can-do attitude.
For anyone caught in a less than friendly atmosphere, excuse yourself from it and find another group to play with or, in business terms, collaborate with other entrepreneurs. It is the same principle as realizing one stream of revenue is not working so you create new streams to take its place.
Change your mindset and be a leader. Communicate what is right in business, keep your standard of ethics and bypass those who block your progress. Gossip serves no one. Let’s do our best to remain on a positive note, keep seeking new prospects, do your daily business development, and market goodwill. This will serve your clientele well and you to close more sales.
Working in unison will make each day a Smooth Sale!
