Tolerance And Strength, Got Any?

Improve Your Relationships

In my profile I reflect how closely the link is between strong relationships and the quotients for success in your business model.  Guess what?  It is true.

Dirty Rat Villain!

When you visit the earlier post "Who is the Villain?" you discover who is providing the real anchors to drag your business down.  You do not need to like the discovery of your villain for it to be true.  It is true.  Truths do not need you to like them as a prerequisite for them to be true.  In fact, most truths are not very friendly at all.  For the most part we shuffle past many truths because we do not like them.  Some of the more serious truths are treated by us with the ostrich approach.  We stick our heads in the sand to avoid them altogether.  Do not shy away from these truths.  We are not Gods, we are people.  We have shortcomings.  It is normal.  Get familiar with your shortcomings.  They are part of who you are.

Once you accept you have shortcomings, you can begin the important work on building tolerance.  Intolerance is a silent killer.  Your business suffers from a lot of intolerance.  Once the villain arrives the rules of the tolerance road are quietly defined.  The villain controls what levels of tolerance will be permitted on every subject front.  As tolerance goes, so goes the level of relationship building.  They are wildly linked together.

My brother is a businessman.  He has been directing his business ventures for more than 30 years.  If you were to evaluate the list of successful business events in his career I suspect most, if not all, would be somehow closely linked to work done through relationships in his path.  I would also be willing to accept that many of the successful events had high levels of working tolerance for those things he did not always find in full agreement.  If many of us would dig deep enough into our previous success events and take a skeleton look at how they became part of our path, we would likely find higher levels of tolerance included as part of the elements that contributed to the success.  Learn how to build tolerance in your business dealings.  More often than we might like to admit, tolerance is a serious player with the elements of success.

Win More Often

What does tolerance require?  Tolerance requires great inner strength.  Leaders with short fuses are often capable of chopping off some elements in business events well before they mature into higher levels of success.  Intolerance will choke off the ability for success to mature.  I have noticed that many of my success events did not come to me looking like success in the beginning.  In fact, much of the litter in my trail of business holds pieces and clues of the early developments that eventually led to success events.  Success does not come to your front door wrapped up in a bright and pretty package waiting for you to open it up.  In the beginning, success does not look like success.  Success often times looks much like a challenge that has limited options, if any.  The tolerance you provide for handling the challenge will provide you with a greater sense of approach that will lend a better chance for turning the challenge into something worth placing on your future list of success events.  Tolerance is a crucial component to helping you create a successful event in your business career.  If you are having trouble building increased tolerance, work on building more strength.  You need to be stronger.

Strength comes in many forms.  The most difficult levels of strength to perform usually involve personal relationships.  We may not always fly off the handle with madness about business issues we share with others.  Yet we do open our mouths here and there and speak quietly in tones of disapproval.  We are more often hung by the tongue well before our actions have a chance to kill our success opportunities.  We speak our failures into existence and do not even recognize it.  Our intolerance wins again.  Our weakness for tolerance management failed to disappear.  I have discovered success to be very shy.  Success does not like intolerance very much.  Success usually runs and hides from intolerant approaches.  Stronger people get a better grip on these kinds of issues in their leadership roles and as a result, enjoy more events of success.  Stronger people accept who the villain is, work on building inner strength and offer more tolerance in their business dealings that provide better results.

Build Strength In Your Inner Self

Find more strength in your business dealings.  Add that increased strength to your current levels of tolerance.  Win more often.  You deserve it.

Until next time....
