Finding Solutions Outside of the Office

Talk with a trusted friend to find business solutions Yesterday, I took the advice from chapter two (Network Marketing, Solo Style) of my book.

I’m facing a business dilemma and left the office to discuss it at a tea room with a good friend.

We ordered tea, chose a table, and immediately began discussing my problem. Within five minutes she presented a solution. It’s one that was in front of me all along but needed to be revealed by her.

Why didn’t I meet with my friend before the problem overwhelmed me instead of stay in my office cocoon? There’s a simple answer to this: I thought I could handle it on my own. Isn’t that what you think, too?

Family members and corporate employees rarely understand our unique problems. Talking to them can be frustrating. That’s why it’s best to turn to a like-minded person.

I invested two hours of time and $11.99 for tea and cookies to remove the problem, and even if there was no solution found during that time, getting out of the office invigorated my day.

What dilemma are you facing? I bet that help from a trust source will end your madness.
