7 Rental Car Tips for Families

Some trips are best served by bundling the family into a rented car for a very personally shared experience. Until now, I have always been confused about how to avoid the pitfalls of car rentals.

This article nicely clarified the air and I think you'll find it as useful as I did.

Relationships, do they create Distractions or, Resources?

This article is written to actively seek your experiences and opinions.

I have a trait shared by many of my entrepreneurial associates, being so focused on my business success that I tend to not 'hang-out' with the crowd. I simply have too many things to get done, as of yesterday. The people I associate with are inclined to be like minded.

Our focus is clear and our efforts are driven.

Yes, in the Linkedin family you Do get to Choose your Relatives

We anticipate certain things from family, such as support and loyalty. We tolerate certain things about family, such as habits and attitudes. After all, family is family, and we don't get to choose how those genes spill out into the world. 

It's often said that one doesn't get to choose their family members. So, it’s not unheard of that we may also try to keep any family skeletons hidden away.

The Linkedin Family

I have discovered a certain affinity to Linkedin as an extended family. I assume that members are savvy to understand, and sharp enough to act on the potential resources offered by Linkedin. After all, I joined Linkedin with the intent to enhance my business success.

When I meet a new contact, and as we exchange cards, I ask if they belong to Linkedin. If they say yes, I smile...I've just discovered a new family member that I can interact and grow with.

Building your Business can be less stressful

My natural skills is servicing my business. I'm very good at what I do and I offer an excellent product that's backed by fantastic service. However, I'm aware that networking is an important tool to build my business but I often find that the process can be very stressful. 

Some people seem to thoroughly enjoy networking events. They're surrounded by an ever present and tight circle of friends. The continual roar of dialogue bangs against my eardrums.

Excellent Business is Exceeding Expectations

I recently read an update from a member of my Linkedin network that, good business is meeting the needs of your client. My response was we have found that, excellent business means exceeding the expectations of your client.

As we talk about 'generating business', we may overlook that we actually mean we're 'interacting with people'. Here at JNL Creative Tours, we've learned that people more readily trust and respond to relationships that they feel good about. 

We've observed that prospects in the second group are much more likely to brag about their experience from and value of your business, to their associates. Some would call this a recommendation, likely to have far more value than any formal presentation by your company or organization.

We call this good marketing.
