Pombo Live.<br> <br> <br> <br> Today we’re going to be discussing how selfishness might be getting in the way of you growing your company from where it’s at right now. Even if you’re still in a growth mode, sometimes you can’t quite grow faster or you might be going a little bit backwards or you might be kind of stuck one way or the other.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you’re wanting to grow faster.<br> <br> <br> <br> One of the big pieces might be you and it might be in an area that you’re not quite aware is there.<br> <br> <br> <br> Now this comes back to attitude.<br> <br> <br> <br> I was having this discussion with some very young business owners. This was a couple out of Canada and I was working with them on their business and talking to them about some of the things that might hold them back.<br> <br> <br> <br> And I don’t know if this is holding them back or not, but a lot of it comes down to.<br> <br> <br> <br> First one on one posture, a term that’s used quite often. I’m not talking about how they hold themselves, physically, but how they hold themselves basically their energy in front of others and that posture, that attitude can really make a huge difference.<br> <br> <br> <br> It depends and you could see it manifest itself in the wrong way.<br> <br> <br> <br> When a person comes off too needy, when a person comes off too excited, when a person comes off like they’re trying to make a sale type of deal, and we’ve all been in front of those people who are just trying a bit too hard to get on our good side.<br> <br> <br> <br> Or to get us to purchase something or to try something out or whatever it is, selfishness is what is what we’re feeling.<br> <br> <br> <br> When you’re feeling that from someone else, you’re feeling someone who’s thinking about themselves, someone who’s trying to hit the bottom line, they’re trying to get the next number and you’re just another one in the long line up.<br> <br> <br> <br> Take that aside and think about the situations that you have with people that you enjoy being around the most.<br> <br> <br> <br> I guarantee the people you enjoy being around the most are the least selfish.<br> <br> <br> <br> These are the people that spend more time talking about you more time, wondering where you’re looking at going and then possibly helping you to get there through their products and services, but it’s based on you, not on them.<br> <br> <br> <br> It’s less selfish.<br> <br> <br> <br> Now that’s a one on one situation, but you can also see this happening in a large scale with most companies. When they really start moving along, eventually selfishness creeps in. It creeps into the pure bureaucracy of the company and they start focusing more on more on what the company’s needs are and where the company wants to go and less and less on anyone that could possibly be considered a customer.<br> <br> <br> <br> Even someone that’s not a traditional customer.<br> <br> <br> <br> Sometimes your vendors, sometimes your partners, if you’re not focused on them and where they’re going, that could be slowing you down because all it takes is a little bit of extra time and a little bit of extra effort to consider their point of view and all of a sudden everything changes because the attitude changes.<br> <br> <br> <br> People get a different vibe off of you and your company and your co...
