Getting screwed around in business is not something you want but it happens. Now what?
Today I attended an amazing meeting which was focused around networking and man people spoke about their business experiences. We each had to speak about how we handled objections or how we dealt with a situation where we may have been screwed over for a reason. If you are like me then the first thing that crosses your mind is anger and hate. Sure some of us have had really bad experiences and some of us have had not so bad experiences. So how do you deal with this?
In today’s meeting we focused on how not to get our emotions, come in the way of business. Though it’s easier said than done I decided to keep an open mind and go along with the program. The advice given actually does make a lot of sense. Today with social media picking up and every one and any one getting to know all about you, it’s important to manage your online reputation. The one aspect that I think we could do is end sucky relationships on a good note or on pleasant terms so that there is no motivation to scream and shout about you on the Internet.
Instead of focusing on the person who is screwing you over or taking undue advantage of the business relationship, walk away. Don’t try to get even, instead just walk away and learn from the mistake. I usually take people for their word and with our world getting a bit complicated it’s important to have your contracts in place. There is no hard and fast rule though that a contract is going t save you but hey at least you did what is right.
In summary just remember karma is here to stay. Do what you think is right and walk away from a relationship that does not make sense earlier than later. Don’t take it personally and always be neutral with your views especially when it comes to online discussions. Have an absolute great week ahead and here’s to your success.
Do comment on how you have dealt with this situation.
