A corner stone under the table of sucess

I haven't done one of these in a while soooo for those of you who think I just rant and bi**h about newbs this is for you, also all of the established scrap related business people out there.

There are three main legs to the stool of success
1. communication.
2. understanding
3. mutual benefit.
(this is going to be long so get your coffee, beer or what ever .....wellll maybe the beer isn't a good idea this one is to important.

Let's take #1 which I feel is the most important one from the get go.
none of us would be even trying to do business with out it. It is how we start, it is what this forum is all about. With out it, nothing happens.

Most of us THINK we are good communicators and , most of us are but we all slip. even the best of us. We slip because once we reach a certain plateau of success we become complacent. what ever we are doing we tend to take on a the assumption every one else understands exactly what is what.

Every time the phone rings or the email or message center tries to communicate with us it is a test, a test of our true desire to remain at the top or to reach there , which ever applies to you your circumstances and tour position on the ladder of success.

Every time some one tries to communicate with you they are trying to give you their business and make you money. Return those phone calls, e mails and messages. TODAY, FIRST THING TOMORROW, OR FIRST THING MONDAY. Communication is the first thing, the last thing and, the only thing that can stop you from being successful.

Communicat,e it is most important in getting you there and then, keeping you there. mcw.
