Reading Is FUNdamental

Not gonna lie, as a self-employed, small business owner, we’re busy. We’ve convinced ourselves we’re so busy we don’t have time to relax, let alone read something for pleasure. We do have the time, we just don’t have the motivation. Give ourselves permission.

 

In this week’s challenge, we’re going to take a hot fifteen for ourselves. We’re going to pout that time to good use by reading a short story.  As a salesperson you need to be able to interact and engage with all types of people. People with different backgrounds and experiences. Reading gives you more to talk about, as well as places of intersection and engagement to build deeper relationships.

 

You can find the fifteen minutes. You have the permission to relax and now you have some motivation.

 

With that in mind, join me for this week’s toolbox challenge and let’s start expanding our reach! See you there.

As self-employed, small or home business owners, we face a lot of pressures. Both internally and externally. While we're pretty open about talking about the externals. We need to talk about the internal pressures...

Unscripted is me, talking. What’s so new about that? Now I’m talkin’ off the cuff, no script, no editing and hopefully good lighting…

 

but nothing is guaranteed when it’s Unscripted.

As busy owners we can easily get overwhelmed. We struggle to find time to enjoy  life, let alone had some fun; get out of our head for a bit…to dream! Let’s fix that, and all it takes is two minutes!

 

allow

me to introduce

myself

Even back then, I couldn’t imagine anything better than owning a business. It seemed like the pinnacle of success. Being your own boss. Working hard and seeing that work rewarded. There was a level of respect, from both consumers and owners. Shopping was different because you felt you were helping a neighbor. You were supporting the community.

 

Every self-employed, small or home business owner knows that feeling.  It’s a shared experience with each other. It’s a feeling one we share with consumers. All of us are looking for the same thing.

I won't bother you much,

maybe like a normal amount of bother, though...

Ya hear it all the time: money is tight! Tell me something I don’t know. When you’re a self-employed, small or home business owner, that’s an every day occurrence. It’s nothing new. We deal with it all day, every day.

 

So then I have to ask: who doesn’t want to not only save a buck or two? Who doesn’t want to get something of value and substance, while saving a buck? Only a crazy person would say no to that!
