What Can your Kids Teach you About Business

Believe it or not kids can teach you a lot of things about life in general but especially about your home based business. Here are just a few things that your children can teach you about your business….

1. Don’t give up on what you want

Children don’t like to take “no” for an answer. If there is any way humanly possible for them to get what they want they are going to get it. Even if it means making a sacrifice, bargaining, begging, or working with a tunnel vision like intensity until they have what they want.

As adults we could stand to be a little more like that. If you want something in life or in your business why not fight for it? It might not always be easy but it will be worth it.

2. Believe in yourself

Kids have total confidence in themselves. They don’t question their abilities. A child knows that they’re good at and even if they’re not good at something they’ll work on it until they are. I’ve seen little girls stand out in the back yard and try to do a cartwheel for HOURS. They know they can do it and they won’t stop until it’s done.

We question ourselves and our abilities far too much when we grow up. You can do amazing things… all you have to do is believe!

3. They can laugh at themselves

A child knows how to relax, forget about their mistakes and just laugh and be silly. If we could do this more as adults we’d be much happier and much more productive believe it or not!

4. They’re not afraid to ask for what they want

If a child wants something you’d better believe you’re going to hear about it! They don’t like to keep what they want a secret and neither should we. If we were more open about exactly what we wanted from life and if we were willing to actually ask for it we might just get it.

How many times have you been talking to a prospect and instead of working for the close you beat around the bush? If you want someone to be in your business ASK, if you want to close a sale on one of your products, ASK FOR IT. A child would. And that’s why they’d get exactly what they want.
