When it comes to business, I would like to say that I am optimistic. I have experienced a great, positive growth in my personal life and business. I enjoy watching others grow and accomplish their goals. In fact, I have made the self-aware decision to be more transparent about my business. It has been a good decision. However, a lot of people have their doubts and concerns about my business and I want to address these as well.
My business is a little different than most of you. I am not a business owner. I am a freelance graphic designer. In addition to having my own website, I also have www.jasonfisher.com, www.jasonfisherwebdesign.com, www.jasonfisherfurniture.com, www.jasonfisherfurniture.me, and www.jasonfisher.com.
The reason why I am not a business owner is because I never want to make a business decision based on the opinion of others. I want to take my personal opinion into account before making a decision. Businesses can be built, but they take time, money, and people (like myself) to build. A lot of my job is to bring customers to my small business and I know I have the skills that will help me do that.
I hate to say I’m an introvert, but I’m definitely not an introvert by nature. I’m a huge extrovert, so I’m probably a bit over-extroverted. I have a number of extroverted traits though, so I’m not that bad. Also, I can be very opinionated. I tend to be very specific about things, and I know that I have to be very careful about what I say so as not to offend someone.
I like to say that my ideal job would be to help businesses grow. There’s nothing worse than someone saying to you, “I know you’re gonna be here tomorrow… but I’m gonna be here on Saturday.” And then being at your business at 9 a.m. on a Saturday. I’m sorry, but I’m not sure how that would work.
So where does the business-wise part of this take place? Well for one thing, I could write an article about how I think that as a business owner, I should never talk to a customer while they’re still in a meeting or in their car. That would be like me going on vacation to a country that I’ve never been before and talking to every single person there.
Well there you go. I dont think that would get the job done. But if you ever have any clients that dont want to talk to you at that time, you can call me. But I dont think its just about the business. I think it’s about the people. I think about my clients and I think about who gets to be a part of my life. I think about the day I met my wife, and that moment of pure happiness that we shared.
I think we are not just talking about business, but also about how people are in business and who they are as people. If I have a client and I have no idea who they are, I will not be able to treat them as a business. I think if you know anyone is a business, it is something you can do not just talk about. To be able to offer your services or help, it is something you have to have a connection with.
It’s one thing to be able to offer your services or help, but it isn’t the only thing you have to do. The other thing to do is show up, answer questions, and have a real conversation with people. To be able to do that, you have to be willing to do more than just be there, and you have to be interested.
