Top Three Relationships you Should Have in Business

Seems like only yesterday when people were very communicative to each other, dealt with problems face-to-face (unless you're a wuss), and had a job worth fighting for. Now, these days, seems like those three things just listed don't exist much anymore. Not saying they don't exist anymore, it's just they're far limiting now.

You might be thinking you can do this business thing alone. Perhaps that's what's on your mind right now: "I can work alone and be totally independent" or "I'm my own boss, therefore I don't need anyone else around" or "My life is on a success spindle, so I control the relationships I have". Hope you get the gist.

Top 10 Leadership Skills to Help in any Industry

I've been evaluating my own leadership, went through a couple classes, and have a list conjured up so you can see what the best leadership skills are to have, which can help in any industry.

1. Stay focused. As long as you're looking ahead, the other things won't matter.

Many times, people lose focus in daily activities, distractions, etc. However, if you'll focus on the goals at hand, and ignore these other distractions - you'll start reaching leadership goals.

2. It's not ALL business. What you SAY and DO impacts people in some way.

People say, "It's not personal...just business." However, I disagree with this fact. What you say and do as a leader impacts the people you manage, and the people you don't manage. So, watch what you say and how you say it.

7 Ways to Not Describe Yourself - Socially Attractive Humility

Many people make the same mistake all the time: describing themselves as something they may or may not be, and coming off as a jerk. But, the most socially attractive way to be is humble: letting people describe how you are, and give you a title.

When you give yourself titles, and try to act as though you're something, when you're not, people will flee from you. Listen up! This fake lifestyle, AKA a lie will only fly with people for so long. Sad part is, you don't notice it, until you have almost no networking. So, how do you need to stop describing yourself in 7 ways? Let's see...

1. "Guru" or "Expert"
   
   Now, I had to learn this myself, definitely. I once lost all of my potential networking in a previous field I was volunteering in, because of several times of calling myself an expert. I finally figured out this was happening because of my selfish attitude of "expertise" that I may or may not have had. What I learned was that I just needed to work hard and help people, and people would give me the title.
