Gaining a Business Mentality

So anybody who knows me knows I never have less than three jobs at a time. Well, I can work, but that doesn't always mean I understand the business side behind the business I work for. Okay.. well two of my jobs I do...because I write and control what is written. It's pretty straight forward...I write, I get paid. However, my newest business adventure has been teaching me a LOT. I am learning all kinds of stuff that I never thought would be of interest for me. There are so many different ways to make money. Everything is strategic in the business world, down to the way a person says hello. So interesting.The art of networking is amazing and I think I am finally getting the hang of it. I am typically a behind the scenes type person so to be in the forefront has been challenging...but rewarding. I have met so many interesting people from all walks of life involved with many different things. All I have to say is...it's a SMALL world. You never know who lives near you, who grew up where you grew up or who knows who you know. I challenge you to speak to a new person every day...you never know what type of life the cashier at McDonald's lives or what the lady at the park walking her dog does for a living. You just might be surprised...
