Is your business is decreasing....

We are in a recession. Gas prices are rising and life seems to be at a stand still. Is your business decreasing in these times? What are you doing to keep a constant flow of clients, money, etc.

One thing I am working on as a business owner, is eliminating the negativity. There will be people in your business network or even social, that will beat you down and try to tell you that it just won't happen in this life time. Most business persons try to detour you from succeeding because they KNOW YOU WILL succeed. Is that shocking? It should not be. While you are sitting down afraid of what this recession will bring instead of creating a plan that will bring you out on top, the other person is seeing you wallow in your own guilt and they are building on that. Do not fall into the trap of the negative heart and mind, or they will get you in their clique and you both will start on the next person and the vicious circle goes on.

Another suggestion is to keep learning. There are constant industry changes each day. You have to be able to succeed at different levels so do not stop learning.
If your business seems to be suffering because of this recession keep going strong and stay focused on you.

Working Wednesday~~How are you networking

Networking effectively in business is an important factor for all. You have to make yourself available to all that have an interest in what you are doing, whether they are potential customers or not.

The point of networking is to establish personal and professional relationships that will be effective for you and your business.

You may sell on ebay or you may have your own online store which makes you a professional at somethinig. Which may open the opportunity for you to be an online vendor or speaker for various events. It also opens the door for you GIVE advice to other small business owners.

Networking is not about your sales pitch (but it helps), it's about the character you illuminate. Who are you that you want people to purchase your products or services. Networking is not about how many social/business networks you belong to, it's how effect YOU are on those networks.

Working Wednesday is brought here to help you realize your full potential as a business owner and a professional in your industry.

Working Wednesday---How does your internet voice SOUND?

I first wrote about "Internet voice" on qassia; click the title above and you can view what we call intel.

Okay, a brief synopsis; your Internet voice (blogs, networking postings, etc) tells a lot about your character and how well you work with others.

If you can't speak kindly to others in your Internet voice are you going to make it in the business world?

One of those people that see your post, or advertisement, etc is either going to be a customer or refer YOU to someone else.

Work had at smiling when you type and be spiritually affectionate to those you don't know and can't see. Why? Your income counts on it.
