Split in Business

Hi there, Reader;

First, I have to say I believe in Salvation if you don't know what I am talking about read John 3:16. There is a reason for all things that happen to us. My philosophy is don't let the road hit you where The Lord split you.                                              

For some reason in Business many think they have to abandon basic principals learned. Some business believe in the middle, some that are on the left and some that are on the right. Same with politics. "Whatever!"

In reality what does that really all mean. As a business person you have to have a stand in life. You should care enough to know where the employees you hire stand. It is a fine line knowing where the employee stands. Not a violation of their rights. The truth is they don't have to work for you if they don't believe in your companies mission statement.  If you are selling a product you don't have to know where each customer stands or save their life. You can have a conversation and care enough to share the truth if it should come up. Speak about what made you a believer in the first place. Although, I read once if you work with computers or in that industry you do...something to do with government. They have to do a background check. Meeting and Events isn't as difficult, MK Pure Diamond Events does do a background check on their employees to protect the privacy of our client and our employees.

In the event planning business you get to know your clients in a different way. You get to know the finances they will be spending on their event, their likes and dislikes, the problems between the relationships with those planning the event and the guest, the little details that make us all human. Interpersonal skills that have been taken over by social media, that play a part. That is why "Selfie" TV is important, social development is important. What's even more important is how a business person handle all the different personalities. Like the bible states their are certain principals to have. It all starts with integrity. Yes, Integrity, person integrity. You won't say in business if you don't have integrity. All the greats have it, those that don't get caught. It is important to know the difference between what you believe in and what your customers want. It is okay to tell the client I don't offer that service or carry that product but this person does. For example, I don't plan "Gay Weddings" however I know great planners that specialize only in "Gay Weddings", I refer them to specialist event planners. It is understanding your mission statement. It is also respecting the person, and their believe system. That to me is integrity. To you it might seem like prejudice to me it is letting them know and understand what I specialize in. I am a business that does everything for everyone.

I specialize in events in a outdoor or indoor venue, hotel, meeting space, and places where security can be provided.

What do the experts say about personalities in business?

1. Integrity
2. Honesty
3. Provide the service you contract yourself to do.
4. Provide a product you believe in.

The Better Business Bureaus has many great strategies for helping you keep your business in integrity. Here is one I would recommend.

Setting Goals: 3 Strategies for Getting the Most Out of Your Business

Find mentors to emulate. Who do you aspire to be like? Potential mentors could be people you work with, or even in a completely different industry whose road to success is worthy of imitation. Identify your mentors’ work ethic, habits, education, or whatever it is that deems them worthy of your aspirations. If possible, talk with them about how you can achieve your goals by following in their footsteps. Use the resources available to you in order to achieve your goals.

Make adjustments to your business and its direction as quickly as possible based on facts and results. When things aren't going well or as you had planned, take a step back and analyze why this may be happening. As soon as you realize that you need to make a change, consult with mentors and use the information you have to adjust. Test out a new approach, review the results, and adjust if necessary. There is no sense in repeating an action that fails to deliver your desired outcome.

Build a strong foundation for your business by avoiding shortcuts. Your business must be built on ethical business practices, knowledge of your product and company, a desire to improve via professional development, and a commitment to representing your company and serving customers to the best of your ability. If you take shortcuts in any way, your business will suffer. One area where many business owners take “short cuts” when they are busy is skipping professional development, but that could shortchange your success. Make it a priority to attend, listen to what is being taught, incorporate relevant matters into your business, and always strive for improvement. You cannot expect success without hard work. The positive side is that by putting in the work and avoiding such shortcuts, you are more likely to rise above the fray and meet your goals more quickly.
