Watching Babies Grow ‒ Best Business Tips
Watching Babies Grow ‒ Best Business Tips

1. Forget the bad things!
Have you ever noticed when babies hurt themselves, or get disciplined they are sad for a very short while? But not 2 minutes later they are happy and playing again. They have an uncanny knack for forgetting the bad thing that just happened and moving on to good things.
Us grown ups seem to take failure very hard, dwelling on it for days and sometimes longer. Why don't we just take it as a lesson learned, use the experience as a positive and move on or try and do it better next time?
2. Determination
Growing Babies are very determined when they want something; they will spend hours sometime devising a plan to get where they want (usually where they shouldn't!) with a single focus. It rarely matters how long it takes or what's in their way they will keep going.
Why do we quit when the going gets tough, or stop trying when it gets hard? Hardly anything is worth working for if it isn't hard to achieve! So when the going gets tough, just think of what a baby would do, and get going!
3. Creativity
There is no imposed limits to babies; they haven't had societies limits imposed on them yet. They believe and think anything is possible. They live day in and day out creating things and imagining the impossible. Look at home many things people have said were impossible, flight for example.
Maybe a little more creativity could help you in your professional life; I know it could help me in mine. Take those limits off your brain and set it loose for a while, I think you will be amazed at what you come up with!
4. Loyalty
Babies are loyal to their parents while they are young, they completely believe in their parents as their sole provider and teacher. They look at their parents as hero's and wouldn't give them up for anything. They stick by their parents.
Being loyal to your customers, business associates, partners and family is a quality that seems to be disappearing today. Yet I believe it is one of the best traits you can have. I would not work with anyone that wasn't loyal.
