Other Added - Importance of Surrounding Yourself with the Right People
The more things change, some say, the more things stay the same. When it comes to marketing, I tend to agree. Consider the following list of how advertising frequency equates to advertising effectiveness. Thomas Smith wrote this in 1885:* The first time a man looks at an advertisement, he does not see it.* The second time, he does not notice it.* The th
Are they controlling and manipulative? When you confront them about this behavior, do they try to turn things around by saying that they were "just kidding" or make it look like it was your fault or say you're "imagining things?"
Are they willing to listen to your constructive criticism and take them at heart?

“We need to communicate better!” This is the most evident catch-all solution people offer to fix all kinds of problems in the workplace – from poor safety to a failing merger; from poor management to an unmotivated workforce. And it’s true. To help people perform better in any organisation at whatever they do everybody has to find ways to communicate more effectively.

Last night I had a small party for friends from my church. I was fortunate to have a group of people who enjoyed themselves to the fullest without any air or pretense or expectation. Laughter came easily. We all felt comfortable in each other's presence. It was a wonderful feeling.
Are you feeling alone? Join a church. Become a member of Toastmasters if you want to be a better public speaker. What about local civic groups including but not limited to Kiwanis, Lion's or Rotary clubs? They provide wonderful networking as well new friendship opportunities.
When you go to these functions, go with the mindset of helping others. Become a matchmaker and bring people together without any expectation of return. Believe me, if you let go and let God, you will experience incredible abundance in return; however, you must make sure your heart is in the right place - otherwise the universal law of giving and receiving will not be complete.
How can you tell if they are genuine? Watch their behavior. I ask myself the following questions about people who come into my life (and be sure to put yourself in another person's shoes asking the same questions about you!).
Listen to how they speak. When you hold a conversation with them, is it all one-way? Or do they take time to listen to you? Do they appear to have your heart at interest when they're really trying to make a name for themselves? How do they treat you - with respect or do they treat you like a child?

The one thing that bugs me most about our industry is those dream stealers. Those are the people that give you all the reasons why you should NOT do something, or tell you all the reasons WHY it won't work, yet they have never succeeded at anything themselves.Don't let any one or anything steal your dreams. Dream big and make them come true. You can do it. Don't

Franchises are popular amongst small business owners as well as entrepreneurs and people looking to get out of the corporate “grind”. There is good reason for this, as franchises offer the benefits of business ownership along with the support system and business model of an already successful business. When you take a close look at the benefits that go along with franchise

“It is all about relationships”, I said to the woman lawyer with whom I had worked for several months. She was about to open a new law practice. She had some established clients from her previous office. She planned to maintain the relationships with these clients and begin to identify new people to approach.“All things being equal, people will do business with, a

The conference that you have spent months planning went off without a hitch - your attendees, sponsors and exhibitors all left happy and the goals of the conference were accomplished. But now what? To get the most out of your conference start thinking about it not as just a three or four day event, but as a year-long event – continually engaging your audience. Here are some

When you make a suggestion, do they act condescending or do they respect your opinions?
Are their behaviors congruent with what they say? Do they maintain integrity? Do they do what they say?
Do they really care about your achievements or do they appear jealous? Are they constantly telling you to see the big picture when they themselves aren't seeing it?
Listen to your intuition about the other person. If you feel a tightening of your stomach, your heart picks up a beat and you feel drained when around a certain person, your spirit is trying to tell you something. Listen to it. You may have to let go of that person with love. Find a way to move on without burning any bridges.
Let me ask you: Are your friends willing to take the bus with you when things go down the tubes?
