Working with women isn’t the easiest thing for most men to do in a safe and productive way. Women likely understand this concept much better than their male counter parts. I am writing this post to breakdown what working with smart, talented, young professional women should be about….
Let’s begin!
Focus on Your Craft(s)
Anyone who knows me, KNOWS I am not the best communicator when it comes to one on one talks or business decisions. My talents exist elsewhere. What working with a collaborative team may allow you to realize is that you shouldn’t try to wear every single hat in your Entrepreneurship and business. Just try to focus on the things that you are the absolutely most talented at and forget the rest.
Be Respectful of Everyone
Stop focusing on the women, yes. Duh… That’s common sense. But no, it isn’t for most men. Whether it’s their time, their attention, or their God given talents… You should never try to take advantage of a client, a customer, a friend, a family member, OR a woman. Just know that whatever you put out into the universe will likely be picked and read in today’s new digital media landscape.
Decide Who You Want to Work With Early
(A little more personal on this one) But I recently switched myself and my father (and hopefully my brother soon) over to plant-based nutrition for both nutritional and compassionate reasons. In short, I plan to be choosier with the clients I decide to work with, the people I decide to surround myself with, the mentors I choose to learn from, and the values of the business owners and their life goals.
#metoo
I can appreciate this snippet of collected information and perspective. People these days seem to feel entitled of others and things they haven’t even given full respective attention to. That entitlement in turn caused a manipulation of relationships at some point. Given If there is not earning period even if it is in the relationship as a whole, then it’s the only way to reach a given goal. Which is sad bc the foundation is not genuine and eventually will crumble based on lack of trust once the manipulation is identified.
Then there is the point discussed in deciding who you want to work with. I think with maturity the importance of this is more evident. Given I am a emotionally driven individual, it’s even more so. My environment is highly influential on my success and the individuals in it play major roles.
Knowing ones self and focusing on being a key tool vs finding them in other i think help ensure these elements work in a constructive manner.
Amy! Precisely the point and why it is dangerous to mix business with personal interests. Thank you so much for the feedback!
