I was able to get a couple of people to join me at the raleigh marketing consultants where I am serving up insights on how to get more business, how to build your business, and how to market yourself. A lot of this is by way of sharing what I have learned over the years and how I grew my business.
My business consultant is a big fan of listening to people, hearing their stories, and then having him share his story with me. He is a great way to learn from others and I am always happy to share what I have learned.
I have learned a ton from my business consultant. He is awesome and has some great advice for me in his books (and other books) that I am currently reading. It is a great way to learn from others and get a fresh perspective on what you want to do with your business.
As for listening to people, I have learned, over the years, that my advice can be quite good… I listen to a lot of people, and when I hear what they have to say, I am usually quite surprised at what I come up with.
I know that it’s not always your advice, but you know what is? Listening. Business consultant, life coach, motivational speaker, coach, author, and speaker, Dr. Bill Hybels has written four books and has given many more lectures on the art of “listening.” One of his recent books is “The Power of a Praying Life: Everyday Faith and Politics” (Zondervan, 1998). You can learn more about Dr.
Hybels at www.billhybels.com or the author of the recent book for free at www.billhybels.
I’ve been doing the listening thing for a while now and I’m still learning. So maybe we can all learn from each other. A good way to start is to do what I do and pay attention. When a person says something listen with your ears, not your eyes. They’re talking about their thoughts and feelings, not the words they are saying.
This is a good time for you to take a look at the most obvious problems that you might be facing and ask how you can apply what you already know to create a better life for you and your family.
The biggest road block that most people face when trying to make a change in life is that they dont see the problem. Thats the problem, youre the one who has to make the change. Its not that hard. Just start with what you know, and then try to figure out ways to make it better. You dont have to be a designer or a psychologist to figure these things out.
