The Need For Developing Strong Relationships in Your Home Based Business

Being honest with yourself and with others is the best way to grow and strengthen a lasting bond. The last thing that you will want to do is mislead others. This only brings the feelings of remorse, digression and irritation which are not a sign of a good bond. When you are honest with others you establish trust. Trust is the number 1 killer in most home businesses. The lack of trust will drive others away to seek advice from someone else and ruin your chance of ever being looked at as a leader. When this happens, your team will not grow together and your and their businesses will falter.

Look at your direct family for an example of how to build a relationship with those associated with your business. Families start off with only 2 people. These two individuals will no doubt want to have children and increase their family size. Whether or not they have more than 1 child does not matter as all children are raised, loved and taught the same things as they mature. (Some families fall apart during this process, but I am going to only use the best example to get my point across.) During this process of raising your children, it is not only the children that learn. The parents are also learning as they go (this is exactly what will happen in your business if the bond is strong enough) and soon learn each and every likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. This is how the trust bond is formed in the family. What happens when a baby is thrown up into the air and caught by its father? 9 out of 10 times this baby is going to laugh and giggle and want some more. Take the same baby and hand him over to a complete stranger, have them toss her into the air and catch her, and the reaction of the baby will be complete fear and crying. Why is this? The answer is simple; the baby learned to trust his father in the action taken and when a total stranger performs the same act, the trust is not there. This is why it is so important to establish a serious trust bond with others in your business.

Along the same lines as trust, communication will be vital to your relationship development. Communication does not mean that the leader does all the talking and the team members just sit there and listen. Communication is a 2 way street; listening and talking. Take the time and listen to what people actually say. Let them finish their conversation interrupted by you or someone else and take in what is being said. Really listen to them and don't think about what you are going to respond with halfway through their conversation. Once they have finished with their thought, pause for a couple of seconds and respond. This simple practice deeply strengthens the communication bond furthering the lasting strong relationship that is needed for all to succeed.

Your relationship with your team members, peers and mentors should be as strong as you can get it. There will be times that you or they will have to rely on each other for support or advice just as families do. Treat your team members as your family. Families that have trust, excellent communication and love will flourish. Treat your business as a family (everyone involved) business and your relationships and your income will explode exponentially.

The Ultimate "James Bond" Gadget For Your Home Business

Well, this latest gadget, Swiss Flash USB Knife, was featured in our local paper and I must say it even got Wayne, my husband, excited. He is not a techno gadget sort of guy, so when he could see the value in this I decided I will have to get him one now.

I had to Google for more info and found information on the thinkgeek.com site, the page is titled "Okay, please stop drooling". Very apt.

So what is it? Well, it has the usual Swiss Army Knife tools and gadgets, like a pair of scissors, nail file, key ring, even down to LED mini white light, a retractable ballpoint pen, a blade and of course a screwdriver. Now this model has a secure Pro USB stick. So what is so great about that?

This is where it gets interesting. The USB drive stick is available in 4GB, 2GB, and 1GB capacity. The flash drive is detachable, and requires no external power. It works with Windows, MAC and Linux. So what you say? Hold on - there more... The makers have made this secure by making the stick accessed only by fingerprint and thermal identification for added security. Any attempt to access your information without the proper ID will cause it to self-destruct with all the information being wiped out!

So if you want to carry secure files around with you this is definitely the way to go, plus you get the added bonus to feel like James Bond, knowing that if you lose it, no-one can access your files.

I am such a Pink Girl - so my next question is "Does it comes in pink?"
