Lessons Obtained Through Personal Business Experiences.
Hello lovely readers, it is a great morning and I feel completely stressed this morning because yesterday was a very busy day for me, by the time my alarm went off this morning I wanted to sleep some more but then I knew I had so many things to cover up so I needed to get up and get to work immediately.
Despite how weak I felt, I got up and hurried to the bathroom, did some little house cleaning and I got ready for the day’s work. Today I will like to share two very important lessons I got while running my business yesterday and I hope that you also gain one or two lessons from it.
Give no room for cheap talks.
I am usually very free with my customers and I make them feel very comfortable whenever they come around to shop at my business premises, this makes them always come around and sometimes when I need to attend to a lot of customers at the same time, they are always willing to assist me with that.
Yesterday, I had one of my customers come to tell me about one of my other customers, she painted her so bad before me in a way I had never imagined, I gave her the room to say all that she wanted to say then I asked her if she will want me to talk to her friend on her behalf and she bluntly refused telling me she does not want her to know that she came to me. I know people like this who are always keen to having cheap talks, she continued to persuade me to say something about everything she had told me but I simply told her that I had no contribution to make and she might just need to call her friend and have a serious conversation with her.
Giving room for cheap talks within a business premises will bring nothing but division between staff and customers which will end up ruining the business eventually.
Entrepreneurship is no room for laziness.
One of my customers came to me complaining bitterly about how she was not comfortable with sitting idle at home and I told her to get a job, she quickly answered that she could not get a job because she could not stress herself so she is planning to start her own business instead.
I looked at her and smiled, entrepreneurship is no room for laziness, and it is even more work than you will ever do as an employee. As an entrepreneur a very heavy burden lies upon your shoulder and you need to take responsibility for every of your actions. If you are thinking of becoming an entrepreneur just because you want to get more time to rest and have fun then it is certainly time to think it through again.
I hope you are having a good week, I wish you the best of the new week friends. Thanks for reading, I am @oluwatobiloba
Hello @oluwatobiloba, I am really surprised by your great attitude towards these eventualities, you have handled it very well and in a very intelligent way, I congratulate you.
It seems to me that you are running your business in a very professional way, I wish you the best of success.
Hi @oluwatobiloba, in my country this type of behavior is called intrigue, the healthiest thing for any person, company or society is that things are addressed head on and with the conviction of wanting to solve the problems. In the case of your client, why not to tell her all her feelings to the person who makes her uncomfortable, it would be more fruitful and would prevent the relationship from being affected. Very good position you took in this situation. Thank you for your contribution
When you read the Carnegie book that talks about how to make friends and influence people, on the side of positive and subtle criticism.
We must be gentle with people and take them to the field where we want them to be, avoiding divisions and intrigues that only bring toxicity to our business.
I think you know how to run your business very well and I congratulate you for it!
It is a book that I really recommend that you read and put it into practice because it has excellent tools
Amazing way to manage a business. Thanks for sharing
I like the way you handle your business, you do not need to be rude to anyone but do not also allow your business premises turn into a center for gossip and cheap talks.
