Five Dimensions Of Winwin

blogger

Win/Win is a frame of mind that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human relations. It is based on the paradigm that there is plenty for everyone, and that one person’s success is not achieved at the expense of others.

It all begins with our character and moves toward relationships. Agreements between parties are the results of these relationships. Win/Win must be the basis for all structure and systems. And finally, it involves process; we cannot accomplish Win/Win ends with Win/Lose or Lose/Win means.

Win/Win is the habit of interpersonal leadership. The basic task of leadership is to increase the standard of living and the quality of life for everyone involved. This is the aim of my Internet Income Opportunity and why I started in Direct Sales Marketing.

Let’s have a look at the first four of these dimensions.

Character

Character is the foundation of Win/Win, and everything else builds on this foundation. There are three character traits that are essential to the Win/Win paradigm.

Integrity is defined as the value we place on ourselves. It is the cornerstone of the foundation. Integrity is conforming reality to our words, keeping promises and fulfilling expectations.

Abundance Mentality is the paradigm that there is plenty for everyone and therefore competition is not necessary.

Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration. Another definition is the ability to express one’s own feelings and convictions balanced with consideration for the thoughts and feelings of others.

Relationships

Win/Win relationships grow from the foundation of character. Trust is essential if Win/Win is to be achieved. Relationships must focus on the issues, not on personalities or positions.

We need to approach Win/Win from a genuine desire to invest in the relationships that make it all possible.

Agreements

It is from relationships that agreements are formed.

The Win/Win agreement has five elements that must be clear, mutually understood and agreed on upfront:
-Desired results identify what is to be done and when.
-Guidelines specify the parameters within which results are to be accomplished.
-Resources identify the support available to help accomplish the results.
-Accountability sets up the standard of performance and the time of evaluation.
-Consequences specify what will happen as a result of the evaluation.

If the trust account is high, we can let them do things their own way and trust that it will meet all these predetermined elements.

I’ll touch on the remaining dimensions tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Essential cat nutrition made easy

blogger

Cat nutrition for a kitten is essential; however, there are times when owners start of a pet diet that is not good for them. Cheap cat food with too much salt and fats, low in meat and high in carbohydrates is not balanced, and later in life the result is a cat may have health issues that could have been avoided.

Cats are like humans: they love different textures of food, a pet diet full of balanced ingredients with quality meats or fish will see them eating their food, licking their paws and purring away to their heart’s content.

It is important to remember that bit of a treat given to a kitten from the dinner table will result in a habit that is hard to break. Soon your regular pet diet will be a have been in vain, and your cat will have become a fussy eater.

The best way to avoid your kitten or cat from becoming a fussy eater is to nip it in the bud. Do not change your pet diet, keep to the same routine, leave a small portion of quality balanced cat food in his bowl and pick it up after half an hour as passed.

If the food is still in the bowl and your cat appears to be in good health then let him wait until his next meal is due before placing the same bowl of cat food before him, he will soon realise you are not taking notice of his demands and his rumbling stomach will win.

Other members of the cat family, such as lions and tigers, are well known as being an animal that is cunning, and your domesticated cat is no different. If you give him treats and special attention, he will let you.

At Hills Pets we have a wide range of quality balanced kitten and cat food, Hills Science Plan caters is a high premium balanced pet food that guarantees good cat nutrition.

For A Pet Tortoise Try The Herman Tortoise

blogger

The Herman tortoise which is a relatively small sized tortoise originated in Europe and is found in almost all coasts of France and also in certain parts of Italy. This tortoise is also found in the nearby islands. This makes it widely popular in Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Albania, Romania, Macedonia, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Greece, Hungary and south Italy. They prefer the widely dense forests of Mediterranean and in the arid regions with rocky hill slopes and scrubby vegetation. These areas make it easier for the Herman tortoise to find its food.

Basically, a Herman tortoise is herbivorous. It largely eats a diet that consists of green leaves and grasses. This tortoise also consumes other vegetables and fruits like the broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes, parsley, Timothy Hay, Alfalfa grass, Bermuda grass, dandelions, weeds, cactus pads, strawberries, bananas, squash, melons, apples, apricots, grapes and peaches. However, it is important that these vegetables and fruits are consumed in smaller quantities. If you have a one as a pet, it is advised not to feed it cabbage as this vegetable and its variants like the iceberg lettuce as these may have a damaging effect. These vegetables have very less nutritional value and once the tortoise starts eating them, it will give up eating other vegetables.

There have been instances when the Herman tortoise may eat insects like snails, slugs and carrions. However, this happens only with the tortoises that are in the wild. However, a this tortoise doesnt necessarily need a diet that contains animal proteins. You must take special care to feed this tortoise a diet that is rich in fiber and calcium. Vitamin D3 is also important for this tortoise and can be given to it in food if the natural sunlight is not provided. Young Herman tortoises have an attractive yellow and black shell. The backbone, ribs, shoulder blades and pelvis are all merged into the shell of the Herman tortoise.

The best tortoise house for the this species of tortoise is an outdoor enclosure. But care must be taken while building these outdoor enclosures to prevent the tortoise from escaping. If you plan to keep them indoors, necessary measures should be taken to provide them with a natural looking atmosphere. Also, this enclosure must be large enough with proper light and heat. A Herman tortoise is an adaptive and friendly reptile which makes them a great pet to have.

The History Of The Pet Rock

blogger

Origin of Thought

In 1975, Gary Dahl, an advertising executive, launched the sale of a fad that would make him a millionaire. This great profit is even more impressive when one takes into account the short time in which the rocks were sold, only six months, and also the low cost of the product, about four dollars. Dahls ingenious marketing involved commonplace gray pebbles, bought from a construction supplier, which were then sold as live pets. The idea was inspired by the hassle, mess, and money that pets such as cats or dogs or fish required. And so, Dahl began the production and sale of the Pet Rock, which did not need to be walked, wouldnt cost hundreds in vet bills, and would not poop on the floor.

Specifics of Production

Dahl named the company “Rock Bottom Productions,” and sold the rocks for $3.95 a piece. The pebbles were imported from Rosarito Beach in Baja California, Mexico, and then packaged in a small cardboard box, designed like a pet carrier. Dahl also created a “Pet Rock Training Manual,” containing instructions on how to properly care for one’s pet, including how to house train ones pet: “Place it on some old newspapers. The rock will never know what the paper is for and will require no further instruction. The instruction manual included such commands as sit, stay, roll over, play dead, and come.

Why would anyone ever buy a pet rock?

“If there were more fads, there would probably be a lot fewer psychiatrists.” Ben Hakuta, creator of Wacky Wall Walkers

Indeed, pet rocks give us more pleasure than we know. These pets support this argument through their very existence, showing us that it is not an actual item that brings joy to the child in the human mind, but merely the idea of the item. The pet sits in a niche in the mind, created by the power of the owners imaginations. It is in the actual exercise of the mind that such pleasure is found. It is quite a valid point that finding such productive and effective uses of recreation time can be more preventative and beneficial to the health of our minds that even the most advanced psychological treatments.
People who purchased these unusual “pets” often gave them names, talked to them, petted them, and taught them to perform simple “tricks”.

Pet rocks still live on

Like most fads, it never totally died out. There are memorial pages, spin-offs, and one can still purchase such a pet, though new manufacturers have given their rocks new features and looks. For instance, not many plain gray pebbles are sold any more. One can buy rocks that are inscribed, painted, and decorated in many a manner, lending the rock much more personality than afforded Dahls creation. One can purchase a rock with an agenda, or one can buy a rock that is individually painted in memory of any dearly loved pet, or one can still purchase that rock that is completely void of previous perception, and let its idea grow in the mind.

Virtual Pets

Virtual Pets follow the same formula as Dahls product. Operating more in the mind of the owner than anywhere else, Virtual pets can be an electronic toy, a computer program, or even a video game. However, though perhaps securing more time from an owner, virtual pets do not leave as much room for imagination as the pet rock.
