Does Everyone Win?
By Josh Hinds

Make sure there is a win, win! - What's the big deal about win, win situations? I'm so glad you asked. You see, there's something absolutely magical about being involved in win, win scenarios. The simple fact is people like to deal with those that do not simply focus on the "what's in it for me attitude", don't you agree?

Admittedly one doesn't have to look far to find traces of people who appear to have done very well for themselves by not adhering to the win, win way of thinking. Look under the hood of these folks, look deep at how his or her peers truly view them. Think of how many missed opportunities they have had simply because overtime they've chosen to burn their bridges rather then build strong networks with others.

Suffice it to say it is worth taking the time to analyze each undertaking. Do not fall into the trap that for you to benefit, someone else has to lose out. One of my mentors used to always say, "leave a little extra on the table for the next person". On the flip side of this someone might say, but your mentor was foolish since he essentially gave away more of his profits then he had too.

Nothing could be further from the truth. You see, he knew very simply that word travels fast when you are viewed as being good to deal with, but far faster when the other party feels they have been done wrong or got the short end of the stick in some way.

Leaving a little extra for the person ensured that he built his reputation and that people would want to do business with him. He is a shining example for me of the importance of the win, win, and the benefits that go along with making it a part of your life... Your friend in success, Josh Hinds of www.getmotivation.com
