Alright, I'm on a roll today - so, a question I've received is about doing business with someone you just don't like. Well, for whatever reason, not all people are going to like one another. That's just a fact and the "reasons" why are details...bottom line, if you don't click then move on and find someone who you do click with.
Why? Well, for starters you're paying them and why give money, especially as a SBO we work very very long hours for our dollars, to pay vendors/business associates/contractors, etc. for a relationship that's painful? What??
My questions to this person was, "if you were dating would you continue to invest time in building this kind and level of relationship? What kind of relationship are you looking for?" They then went on and on sharing stories of good relationships and yes, what they were looking for.
Those questions opened the door to a great discussion about business relationships, personal relationships, and building a business that stands for much more than our products! How cool is that?!?
While, breaking up is hard to do - the rewards mean seeking out people and vendors with compatibility and building a long-term relationship that's enjoyable!
