Hub You - Conflict: Not Necessarily a Bad Thing

I probably deserved it. I needed to hear it. But it made me edgy and I tried to make excuses.

Nope! That didn’t work. I continued to get the lecture.

Now I know you are all dying to know what I did that wasn’t exactly right. Mary? Got yelled at? How DARE they?

Here’s what happened. Tonight my husband and I met out a friend from swimming and a woman I set him up with on a blind date. Lets call him Bill. If you read the entry that he dances to his own tune, then you’ve met Bill.

In my book, he’s a consistent and dedicated swimmer. The lecture was about the fact that: I’M NOT.

I miss practice. I get there a tad late. And, I miss practice.

I told him I HAVE A LIFE. I have a child! I need my sleep!

He reminded me that I have a goal. I want to make nationals. I want to lower my time. I’m pretty close to doing it too.

So, here I am at 3 in the morning writing about the fact that I got yelled at. And I think it worked. I know he’s right and I’m going to change my schedule around a bit so I can make the practices more often. I was going to about 3 a week instead of 4. How to Survive the Office Christmas Party

When you go to trade shows you probably pick up brochures.What do you do with them?In the majority of cases I'm willing to bet you either leave them to fester in the lovingly designed show carrier bag or you scan some of them and then throw them away.Do you read any of the brochures you get through the post or left by sales pand I met out a friend from swimming and a woman I set him up with on a blind date.

A number of economic changes are magnifying the role of small business and creating the impetus for entrepreneurship.In the past, many people perceived small business owners as shopkeepers – the mom ‘n pop shops. Today, with a status boost, they’re entrepreneurs, and perceived to be on the leading edge.But is now the right time to step up to that: I’M NOT.

Franchise Business - What is an Operators Manual?
Every Franchise Opportunity comes with an Operators manual. This is the cornerstone of every franchise business. A well written and properly set out manual can easily make the difference between having a successful franchisee or a failure. Many franchisors do not dedicate as much time and effort in their operators manual as they should.I believe thait too.

Earlier this week I dropped a note to friend who is an entrepreneur. He and his partner had a yelling match on the phone. I know them both well and they’re both working hard at building their business. They had a disagreement and I tried to help smooth over the conflict.

I got this email from my friend that I liked:

Mary: Thank you for your insight….Every tree that yields fruit must be shaken to get the best from the top.

So, I thought about it for a while and realized that the conflict did shake things up. It got them both out of their comfort zone. It made them think about what really was the answer to their problem. Because they didn’t dance around the problem and play nice they were able to solve the issues more quickly.

I’m always the type that wants to avoid conflict. I think that a lot of people are like me. Its easier to talk things out than yell and get to the bottom line. But I see how that works.

Now I’m not proposing that anyone else should go out and confront anyone just to be able to yell at someone, but I do
