Like Attracts Like

Have you ever visited a bar and looked around at the people there? You will notice that the same people seem to be sitting in the same seats talking about the same things day in and day out.

Watch kids hanging out together. They dress alike, talk alike, and have similar attitudes about life in general.

Attend a business after hours meeting at your local Chamber of Commerce and you will see the same thing, only on a different level.

If you want to build a profitable business, you must attract good employees and good customers who will pay you aresonable rate and pay on time.

Professional looking business people attract professional looking associates. Leaders attract leaders.

Here is the bottom line: If you are not attracting the kind of people you need to make your company grow and be profitable, look first at yourself!

As hard as that sounds, keep it in a positive frame and see what you need to do. Do you need to dress differently? Do you need to act differently? Do you need to gain some knowledge or put some new systems in place? What part of your business doesn't compare favorably with the most successful competitors? What needs to change so others see you as successful?

Begin by setting a goal to make those changes, one at a time. Continually check your progress and get others involved to help watch the changes taking place. Ask for feedback to assure that they are working the way you want them to work.

Before you know it, you will be attracting the best of the best to join in your venture!
