Did You Know That Your Beliefs Are Not Real?
Do you think it really matters what you believe? Or to put it in another way, do you think it matters what your beliefs are in your financial area, business or career, or your relationships? What about in your health and fitness area?
The Fear of Offending your Prospect will hold you back
We are all concerned about what people think of us; our family, our friends, our fellow business members and the people we prospect in our business. Have you ever observed in the gym how people are looking around at everyone and wondering what he/she thinks of me in my designer shorts, Nike runners and recently tanned legs from their latest vacation instead of focusing on their routine? This is human weakness for wanting to be accepted or approved by everybody. Guess what. None of that matters because it is what you think of yourself, your self love is what counts and matters most and regardless of anyone else's opinion it is your self- belief that will lead you to success.

Family Businesses Face Unique Challenges: What Makes Them Different?
In matters of cash flow and marketing, a family-owned or closely-held business is the same as any other small business. But family-owned and closely held businesses also they have significant differences, especially when it comes time to talk about retirement, resale, or transitioning the business to the next generation. Here were some key points noted by the Family Business Institute on what makes family-owned businesses different:
The Gift Of Receiving
Every family has one. That one person who shoulders all the family burdens, keeps the family secrets and cleans up the family messes. The one who is everyone’s sounding board and shoulder to cry on. The one who remembers all the holidays, birthdays and anniversaries. The one around whom the family always gathers. In my family, it’s my grandma. She has been the rock in my family for as long as anyone can remember.
Just Because You Can Doesn’t Mean You Should – Why Outsourcing is Essential to Business Growth
Many dream of being their own bosses and being in control of their own financial destinies. There are several reasons for this e.g., lack of job security, advances in technology, desire to earn an unlimited income, to be available for family. So they take matters into their own hands by starting small-/home-based businesses.
Feelings of Entitlement
It is difficult for most kids who are working in the family business to not have some feelings of entitlement. After all, the main reason most entrepreneurs’ start their own business is to provide for their families. Once that is secure, thoughts of creating a legacy and passing the business from generation to generation become a natural progression for most founders, even though statistics show that business failure is alarming in second and third generation leadership. In fact, The Family Business Institute reports that only 12% of family businesses survive the third generation. Feelings of entitlement are not necessarily a bad thing. It’s the attitude of the owner’s child that really matters.
Why Ethics
Increasingly, commnents are made about the uneithical leaders we have. Who said? "If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters." Read to find out.
