On A Personal Note
|
Welcome back to Words of Wisdom Ezine. This month has been such a whirlwind. It seems it just stared and already it is coming to a close. You see, I write this ezine the month prior to you receiving it. So as you are just starting your month, mine is nearing its close.
Staying on track and getting articles written, edits done, websites updated and books laid out have consumed most of my time. However, I did keep my promise to myself, (you may remember a couple months ago), to take out me time. I hope you have been doing the same.
This month's article was written at the request of a friend of mine who is absolutely one of the more knowledgeable people I know on SEO (Search Engine Optimization). I hope enjoy.
I hope you find the information, as always, informative and useful. It is for you and the benefit of your company that I continue to offer this Words of Wisdom Ezine.
Wishing you a God filled day!

The Golden Rule of Business Ownership
|
In the past thirty-plus years, as a business owner, I have
learned many lessons. There are lessons on marketing, lessons on taxes, lessons
on saving for emergencies, lessons on communication, and many others that have
enabled me to become a better business owner. However, there is one rule that I
learned that has skyrocketed my business to the success that I have recently encountered.
Yes, even while the rest of the world is complaining about being in a
recession, my business income more than doubled!
The simple implementation of one action on my part has
changed not only how I do business, but also how I live my life. That is
learning that when you freely give of your time and talents to help others you
receive more than you ever give.
When was the last time you helped someone? If you are like
most business owners you probably spend more time helping yourself out than you
even realize. Our days are consumed with promotion, marketing, family, and
making a little money on the side-and
usually in that order.
What made the difference for me was when, in 2005, I began
developing and in early 2006 founding the WINning Sisters. This was, for me, a
labor of love. With a small group of like-minded business owners commitment, we
began taking new business owners by the hand and introducing, helping, and
teaching them the ways of entrepreneurialism. Much like the Big Sisters of
America, we befriend our Little Sisters and help them in whatever way they need
to become comfortable in the business of being in business.
Sometimes that means to help them grow as people and
sometimes it is more just introducing them to others. Whatever the challenge,
we are there to help, inform, and, sometime, just to hold their hand. We also
share weekly from our knowledge with a Skype hosted chat that we named the
WINning Sisters Networking 101. Usually the forum is open so that those with
questions can find answers, but quite often, you will find that there are
special guest speakers who freely give of their time to share from their area
of expertise. E.g., at a recent chat Charly Leetham shared from her stores of knowledge
on the subject of S.E.O. (Search Engine Optimization) and another time Patrysha
Korchinski shared for three weeks straight on the topic of Business Branding (available
online through our archive).
So, to be perfectly clear, the Golden Rule of Business
Ownership is, "You can't out give God!" When you approach your business from
the standpoint of, "What can I give," or "How can I help someone today," rather
than focusing on receiving you will find others flock to you. In the process,
you will see a substantial increase in your profit margin. Why? Because you can't
out give GOD! Don't believe me? Give it a try. I guarantee you will be pleasantly
surprised.

Tip of the Month
|
Since only one person actually took the time to click the A/V link last month and I truly hate seeing my image reproduced on camera, I have decided to forgo the A/V tip of the month and revert back to this text only version. I guess that is what you all prefer. So....the Tip of the Month for April is...
Never give up! Never, never, never give up. When things get tough, find someone to lift you up or help you along your path to success. If that means finding a business coach or just a close friend or ally to bounce off of, do what is necessary to stay on track.
Until next month...

Subscriber Feedback

It's definitely so important to be
prepared for whatever comes. The story of your friend, and also of
yourself, reminds me of my grandma who also was not prepared when her
husband died. She left all the financial things in his hands and had no clue
how to even write out a check. It's important that as women we are
prepared for whatever may happen. We need to be able to take care of
ourselves even if something happens to our husband. I am definitely
prepared.... I have invested in a network marketing business that
keeps us all healthy, while at the same time I build a strong business
that will later pay off in amazing ways. After all the research I have
done on network marketing, I believe wholeheartedly that it is very wise to
invest as early as possible in a network marketing company.
