Like Minded People

Surround yourself with like-minded positive people. Yep, this is my advice. Wow, I must be a rocket scientist.

Do this in your personal life, business life, faith life and in your passions. This is one of those concepts that is so basic we tend to over look it.

We belong to an organization of independently owned craft stores. Joining this group is probably one of my boss' best decisions. We share idea's, pool orders, pick brains, multiply our creativity, reduce stress, increase margins, exchange successes and support growth. All this while making friendships and promoting our business.

We all want the other to succeed and never hesitate to help each other do that. Wouldn't it be grand if life was always like this?

I am always amazed at how savvy these people are in buying and selling. I am still learning the ropes. I sometimes feel like the country bumpkin rubbing shoulders with the big city executives. Except, by joining together we level the playing field. We're all pulling for the same team.

Plus, they are the kind of folks who would do anything for you. We need people like this in our life. Last night at dinner we talked business, talked kids, talked dogs, talked about silly stuff, and the serious stuff. Today and tomorrow we scatter to our home states and business' until we meet again.

So my question is this - do you have enough like minded positive people in your life? If not, find yourself some. It will be worth it.
