Facing the Facts about Face in China

In China, the concept "face" influences all levels of society and business. It is similar to the western concept of pride yet different. As a westerner I feel pride once I accomplish something I've been working on, often whether others know of my accomplishment or not. Of course if others acknowledge my achievement, it serves to elevate my feeling of personal satisfaction. On the other hand, "face" is definitely a "public opinion" oriented concept, one that depends upon the respect and acknowledgement of another or others. So it's not so much "what I know about me" as much as it is "what others believe about me."

7 Steps to Generate Massive Online Buzz

So when you hear a complaint about you or your business/practice perhaps the best strategy is to count to ten and then do some of the following:

Lesson #3: Give Something Back

Lesson #4: Get Your Motivation from Love, Not Money

Beneath All the Toppings: How Monaghan Grew Domino’s into a Pizza Empire

“If you want to be successful over a long period, you have to have some idea why you were born and what life is about,” says Monaghan. “I don't know how anybody can function without thinking that through.” It may have taken him a while to realize it, but Monaghan certainly came to know what he was meant to do with his life.

Marriage

As the 10th of 12 children, my older brothers and sisters obviously got here many years before I did. Two of my older brothers and two of my older sisters had failed marriages. Since I was at the bottom of the production chain, my younger brother and I had the benefit of what my mother had observed and taught us. She pointed out that we should never date a girl more than once or twice if we discovered we would be unwilling to have her as the mother of our children and be unwilling to take her wherever we were and introduce her with pride to anyone. I listened intently to what my mother had to say. I chose carefully.

As parents, coaches, and business owners, we must develop and posses leadership qualities if we want our children, team members and business to succeed.

Leadership styles will differ according to various personalities but main qualities must exist for excellence. Below are six key traits of successful leadership.

Pride is a good thing!
Pride is a good thing! Pride seems have a bad press doesn’t it? “Pride- the never failing vice of fools” Alexander Pope “Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall” Proverbs Although it is known as a Vice, it can be a virtue especially in business.

Everyone SHOULD BE a Salesman

In most businesses a small percentage of the staff is actually responsible for generating sales. Did you realize that you can leverage the strength of all of your employees to “sell” for your company? Sales is the life blood of any business and as sales go so goes profits. All of your employees need to understand that their job security and the viability of their company is tied to the revenue stream.

Rise and Shine
In today’s uncertain times, I constantly hear people gripe about how “business is slow, nobody’s buying” and “everybody’s cutting back.”For too long, many salespeople and business owners have been on the proverbial “gravy train.” Supply was less than demand and people got away from effective business basics. Besides, why should anyone hustle when business is lined up?

It is your choice.
If you have the correct perspective, today, there are more opportunities to grow your business than ever before.

How to Increase Your Productivity and Profit From Your Image

I attended a business women's event last week and was amazed at how many of the attendees presented themselves. This was a business event and the way in which many of them dressed you would have thought they were going to a local football game! I met a 'coach' who raved about how successful she was and what she does for her clients. This person was at least 10kgs overweight, her chest was exposed and her clothes were very inappropriate for a business environment. If you were looking for a coach, would you consider investing in her services? She obviously had her own issues to deal with. What she said didn't match how she looked. In contrast there was the mortgage broker who was dressed extremely well in a tailored suit, who obviously took pride in her appearance and looked confident and competent.
