WHAT MEN WANT FROM WOMEN

WHAT MEN WANT FROM WOMEN

Actually, it’s pretty simple. Deep inside the heart of every man is a secret wish to be trusted. How many times have men said to their wives, “If you would just trust me.” Many men wonder why it seems so difficult for their wives to do something so seemingly simple. The answer stems from the physiological differences between the sexes.

It begins at birth when little boys are given a distinct physical advantage over little girls by having higher levels of testosterone. With testosterone comes the physical strength to both defend themselves from danger and/or run away from a threat. Most little girls don’t have that ability. They don’t have the strength to defend themselves in a physically fight when they feel threatened. If a boy trusts someone who in turn hurts them, they can always defend themselves physically (or try to). Little girls don’t have that physical option of power. Since a person can only trust from a position of strength, those same little girls will grow up into women who naturally have a more difficult time “trusting” when they feel vulnerable.

So men, when you ask the woman of your choice to simply “trust you,” it’s not that she can’t, she’s just more vulnerable than you. If you want her to trust you, she needs something that will help develop that trust.
Perhaps even a tool or gesture that she can “count on ” until that trust with you is established. Thankfully this tool already exist and is known every woman. What cultivates trust in a woman is a man who consistently keeps his word. Making a promise is meaningless if there is no follow through.

A woman needs to SEE her man fulfill his promises because seeing is always more powerful than hearing. Allow me to illustrate. Imagine someone told you that I was the meanest person they had ever met. For months all you heard was how terrible I treated my family and friends. Then one day you met me and during the course of our meeting you begin to notice that I didn’t seem to be as horrible as you were led to believe. I actually appeared to be rather pleasant. Would you change your entire opinion about me from one visit? Probably not! However, if you saw me respond consistently with kindness and humility over a period of weeks, your opinion of me would begin to change. A paradox has just been established. The kindness you have seen in me for the last few weeks does not match what you have heard about me. All the rumors of how mean I am begin to fade into darkness because of my consistent actions. Over time what you see will replace most if not all of your concerns about my character.

Men, when the woman you love sees your words lining up with your actions, trust will naturally follow. When you don’t keep your word it causes your wife/girlfriend to become fearful. From her perspective, she has entrusted you with her Heart and WANTS to trust you. She simply needs your help in giving you what you want

Financial Tips for Women Starting a Business

Some women starting a business have never worked outside the home and need to start from the beginning, while some men may be starting a business after working in the workforce for many years. I had worked in the workforce for over 10 years before I decided to start my business and had some experience but still ran into problems. This is why I want to share these tips with you, so you can avoid problems I ran into and get your business started sooner and with less headaches!
If you are currently working at a job and thinking about starting your business, the first thing you should do is KEEP YOUR JOB! Don’t quit your job before you have a plan in place. While you have your job, you should be doing some things that will help you once you leave your job to work full time for yourself.

1. Write a business plan.
2. Write a marketing plan.
3. Write a credit policy.

These are three of the most important things you will do for your business. People are normally frightened away by these three things but don’t be! I have examples of all three of these items in my books and you can feel free to use them as they are or customize them for yourself. You can look online for examples of these types of plans and create your own. If you have these three items BEFORE you go to a bank for financing, you are guaranteed to have a better chance at getting approved than someone who does not have these items. If you go to the bank or approach the SBA without any of these items they will tell you to come back when you have them. So be smart and be ready.

Many small businesses are launched by the personal resources of their owners. But they can quickly reach the stage where the owner must look to the credit market for financial help in expanding operations. Some things you can do to improve your financial standing when starting a business are:

1. Get copies of your credit reports - you can do this free once a year.
2. Pay off any credit cards or bills you have as quickly as possible.
3. Start out small, buy more equipment or expand as your business grows rather than trying to start out “big”.
4. Share office space with a business that compliments your business.
5. Share big equipment such as copiers, fax machines, postage meters or printers.
6. Join networking groups and attend meetings, you will meet other business owners you may be able to barter with, saving you a lot of money.
7. Stick to your marketing plan, and do one thing each day to market your business. This will eventually lead to more publicity, which means more sales and more money for you.
8. Try to use electronic means of reaching customers. Email is much cheaper than printing and postage costs.
9. Buy used office equipment; I am still using a desk I bought at a second hand shop for $100!10. Determine how much money you REALLY need to start your business, it normally takes more than you imagine. Try to have at least double what you think you need, you will be glad you did. (Keep your day job!)
11. Try to do as much as you can yourself before hiring employees or outsourcing jobs.
12. Pay yourself ONLY AFTER any employees and bills are paid.
