GOSSIP

LESSON #6: 

GOSSIP

One of the biggest weaknesses in women is GOSSIP………how much do we love a juicy rumor or story from people we love and hate. Gossip is really enticing addictive and exciting, the basis to judge everyone but yourself.

Much as we ladies love gossip we forget that the people who tell you about others also tell others about you, so none of us is excluded from the gossip circle. But this is very dangerous as far as your business is concerned. Gossip can destroy your business in a few minutes than it will help you build it up with your reputations.

So avoid gossip as much as you can 99% of gossip is for destroying and not building. Keep your reputation and business and avoid anything that will lead to gossip.

·        Never discuss your health, wealth and other personal matters with anyone outside of your immediate family. Be very disciplined in this regard.

·        Remain slightly aloof. Do not let everyone know everything about you. Cultivate a mystique.

 

·        Be kind, considerate and courteous. But also be shrewd and know when to be tough and courageous. This is the mark of a well-defined character and you will surely command respect. It is most useful to read books on friendliness and enhancing relationships by being a good listener, showing others sincere appreciation and refining other interpersonal skills. But, to truly succeed, one must also recognize that worldly wisdom and shrewdness are essential skills to foster. Become an expert in human psychology and be able to read the essence of people. Never be taken advantage of and be aware of the politics around you. Stay above petty gossiping and office politics but appreciate that they indeed exist and know what goes on behind your back. Every great leader does.
