Did you know that business and the entrepreneur don’t mix?
Seems counterintuitive but if you REALLY stop to think about it you’ll soon see what I mean.
You see, as entrepreneurs we all have high hopes and dreams but of course we call them GOALS!
We all are all want to change the world in some way, but we call it a focused vision.
We all want to be rich and famous but we say, that we’re doing it for the pride and fulfillment of accomplishment.
Now that all sounds pretty cute and even funny but here’s where the problems begin.
In our day to day business affairs, we are sometimes faced with rather difficult decisions. Decisions that may alter the course of our company’s future!
They can sometimes be in the form of an employee or a competitor or even a client.
Emotionally we want to scream, shout and jump up and down! The sad thing is that for many entrepreneurs that’s just what they do. BUT, for a chosen few the successful entrepreneurs, they choose a different method.
That method is the Art of Indifference!
Like the samurais of ancient Japan, the emperors of ancient China and the generals of wars past and present; the Art of Indifference is one of the successful entrepreneur’s most DEADLY weapons!
Picture this…you’re faced with a constant bombardment of issues like, a key sales person unjustifiably wants more money, a client that thinks they’re being overcharged, a potential lawsuit is hovering overhead, your marketing department is attracting garbage leads, and you’re on the brink of closing the biggest sale to date.
Hopefully, you’re at a place in your business where you can have someone else deal with this. Unfortunately, whether you’re running a $100 million business or a $2 million business or even less, we’re all faced with some type of dilemma similar to this.

1. Put yourself in your client’s shoes Understanding as much about your clients perspective is vital in developing rapport. Growing a strong & positive relationship where you focus on your clients needs, problems, challenges & desires will ultimately lead to the successful matching of your products or services…and for the best possible motives...THE WELFARE OF YOUR CLIENT. Be sure to use ‘YOU’ language – this is where you talk about them and not yourself. As soon as you hear yourself saying ‘we’ or ‘I’ you need to switch. T

If you want to be cost effective with your trade show exhibitions or if you are preparing for your first trade show, you should choose cheap trade show displays for the best deal. Trade shows are effective sales devices for growing business, and most new enterprises are not financially strong enough to spend a large amount on an elaborate trade show display, so opting for a cheap display is a good idea. Don't try to produce a do-it-yourself display, instead, look for experts who can produce cost effective trade show displays that

Now if you’re thinking that this method is rather cold, you’re absolutely RIGHT!
Think about it this way…if you’re faced or rather forced to make these decisions instantly, then you‘d better be prepared to deal with the consequences of your actions just as fast.
Why, well potentially, someone’s getting fired or shown where the door is, someone’s going to be asked to review their contract, someone’s getting sued but litigation is just another form of doing business, your marketing department is going to be getting some serious constructive criticism (you know how they always know everything), and you’re still going to have the laser targeted focus to close that deal and get your money!
The Art of Indifference doesn’t teach you to play favorites and waste time and energy on useless and trivial arguments.
The key to indifference is this:
• Be emotionless in the presence of your adversaries.
• Know that no one is in the business of being your best friend.
• Show no weakness to your problem clients and make them think that you’re all about keeping them happy.
• Prepare to do battle in court and don’t take it personal.
• Treat your employees fairly and pay them well but remember, they too are not your friends because for the right price they will be your competitor’s employee as well! Never let them see you in a state of panic or distress.
• Stay focused on your big goal and do whatever it takes to get there. There will always be issues to deal with but there won’t always be big deals to be closed!
• Don’t be afraid to crack a smile once in a while, let them know you’re human too.
