Business, Sales & Marketing

Tip #11  

Have fun and be happy because if it isn’t life threatening don’t let it bother you. One thing I learned after ten years in the business changed my life. I used to become very upset at every problem that arose. I would yell at vendors, truck lines, installers trying to get problems resolved my way. What I eventually learned was that most people want to do a good job and that if you are nice to them and treat them professionally you will get them to help you faster than by threatening them. The other thing I learned is that no problem is so important that you should loose your cool and get yourself all upset. You need to keep things in prospective and if it isn’t a life-threatening event then don’t worry about it. It is usually only a money issue and if you have a result that goes against you and you make a little less that is ok. Remember that most of us leave something behind when we leave this life anyway so just leave a note for your heirs as to why your estate may be a little light and move on. You will be happier for it and get back to being happy faster than brooding about it.
