A Dog Can Be An Entrepreneur's Best Mentor by Tom Pease
Is it possible most things we need to learn about business success we can learn from a dog? Not everyone owns a dog, but many do. I get that. I have owned a lot of dogs. They can be brilliant business instructors
Their # 1 lesson: loyalty. Is there anything more loyal then your dog? They greet you so enthusiastically every day whether you deserve it or not. Could you imagine the extra business we could gain duplicating that with customers?
Another thing we love about our loyal dog is that its always avaliable. It just waits on us to call upon it-always there, ready to respond to any intrest shown towards it. Do we take the same stance towards prospects and customers?
Dogs teach us to minimize are words and get to the point. Dogs can talk, but they only know one word. All dog communication is accomplished using this one sound. Boy, you humans waste a lot of time talking. Bow wow!
When totally exhausted we say we are " dog tired" This is because a dog gives everything untill it can't. If we can work everyday untill "dog tired" we are going to be succesful.
Dogs are as sincere as Mother Teresa talking to the sick. You cannot fail to respond to its suggestions when you look into those undistracted, totally focused eyes. It gets them what they want. Take note salespeople.
There is no better example of "being in the moment" than a dog. It gives undivided attention and is focused on you and what you are doing and saying right now! They are focused on the relationship come what may. Can we say that?
A dog is brave. No matter its size it will protect its owner. Even 10 lb yapper dogs bark at you with everything they have if they think you are threatining its owner. Owners want employees gaurding their business simiarly. Dogs worked their way to being part of the vernacular used to judge performance, superior or not so. If you are the winner you are "Top Dog". If you are not so then you are the "underdog" So in high competition arenas of business and sports the dog is the standard.
We can only hope our employess accept specialized training as well as dogs and match their superhuman accomplishments. They train to sniff out cancer, track down criminals, become seeing eyes, and perform search and rescue (could one be trained to sell?) Surely, then we can learn that new technology, software or sales training so we can accomplish similar missions for our business. If one could master all these traits I believe it would provide a good career path into management
The next time you seek business advice try walking a mile in your dogs tracks instead
