En rød tråd gjennom store deler av selvutviklingslitteraturen handler om vennskap og relasjoner. Bak tilsynelatende manipulerende og sjofle titler som ”How to win friends and influence people” av Dale Carnegie eller ”People skills” av Robert Bolton, gjemmer det seg en varm og enkel beskjed: Vær medfølende og interessert i andre mennesker. Venner kan ikke vinnes, men det er noe man får ved å lytte til andre, gi dem en betydning og vise respekt.Venner er uhyre viktig, men også komplisert. Mange vennskap krever stor investering, tålmodighet, raushet, forståelse, motstand, mot, åpenhet, sårbarhet, innsikt, karakterstyrke, impulskontroll, timing og mange andre menneskelige og mellommenneskelige egenskaper. Relasjoner er det viktigste vi har, men også blant våre mest utfordrende domener. Å ha gode venner gir oss bærebjelker i livet. Å være en god venn gir oss betydning, tilhørighet og fellesskap. Gode relasjoner er som regel likestilte. Man gir og ta og denne balansen kan fluktuere litt avhengig av partenes overskudd og situasjon. Det kan være givende å være en støttespiller for et annet menneske, og det kan være livsviktig å føle seg ivaretatt når man selv står på kanten av stupet. Relasjoner hvor man bare gir, uten å kreve noe tilbake, kan imidlertid skape en form for ubalanse hvor mer destruktive følelser langsomt tærer på vennskapet. Det finnes også vennskap som vi på sett og vis har sklidd inn i, og deretter blitt værende uten overveldende gode grunner.

This week on The Veterinary Business Success Show, communication expert, Jim Bolton, joins host, Brendan Howard.  Jim's experience in communication began at a young age, with both his parents founding Ridge Training (a US-based firm that improves business and personal relationships through skillful communication). Both his parents have also published books dedicated to improving communication skills within the workplace, including his father's, Robert Bolton's, well-known book, ‘People Skills'.  Now as the president and owner of Ridge, Jim is on his own mission to consult business leaders to build high-candor cultures in their organizations. In this episode, Brendan quizzes Jim on different ways to approach communication in a veterinary practice including what it's meant by psychological safety and situational leadership.

Once again we are just talking shop. We talk about body language, barriers to communication (from People Skills by Robert Bolton), seeing things at gray as opposed to everything being black & white, overcoming the fear of rejections and much more. Music by Wax Mustang - PowerballI always appreciate any support ; D https://www.patreon.com/TSSLpodcastpaypal.me/TSSLpodcastThank you!!

We're hopefully just days away from moving into our new house, so please excuse the repeated episode! We think it's still good and applicable!The original description:"I'd like to think I'm a good listener. In fact, let me tell you a story about me being a great listener...rather than actually listen to you." It's an oft-experienced phenomenon-- we start to think maybe genuine sharing of selves is about to happen, and then out of nowhere, we throw up a roadblock to real intimacy. It's good to know about these roadblocks, and why they hinder real, meaningful conversations, so we share three of them. We referenced another pretty heavily in the third part of the vulnerability series, and that one is the giving of advice (when not asked for). They're not always bad, and sometimes even good, but when we habitually turn a conversation into a storytime, or start praising someone evaluatively, or start reassuring them, we're thoughtlessly turning conversations into discussions about ourselves, our opinions, and our convictions, rather than giving the other a chance to share their side. If you'd like to hear about more of them, let us know, or check out where we got them from: We're pulling from a book called People Skills, by Robert Bolton: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BFXAS0/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0It's a good book. It's not perfect, but it's ok.

REPRESSING RAGING PASSIONS - Sinful Anger, -including unrighteous indignation- and carnal fear-. I never believed the current president was honorably elected - by fellow Americans that is. But I believe God put him in authority and put Robert Bolton's book on my Kindle to take the bullets into my heart and show me just how much of my indignation crosses the line to a sinful passion. To quote Bolton on causes of sinful anger, -An over tenderness and delicate niceness in bearing wrongs- an impetuous impatience for being abused, an effeminate facility to be moved and touched with every trifle. A spot or wrinkle upon their garments, a dish misplaced upon their table, some error in their dressing, a bird, a dog, a glass, etc., or some lesser toy, will turn some kind of people quite out of tune, and put them out of their humor into a storm of passion. Great minds, and victorious over this furious arch-rebel, are not moved but with great matters. It is a special point of manly wisdom to pass by many petty provocations to wrath without notice or acknowledgement, without wound or passion, and to digest many times the brawlings and indiscretions of hasty men...-Bolton, Robert. A Comfortable Walking With God - 1626

This week, Doug talks to Dr. Muhammed Taliq about avoiding and treating strokes, to Robert Bolton about making good decisions, and to Brittany Wagner about chances…and second chances…in our lives.

Prayers from C H Spurgeon, Phillip Doddridge, Henry Thornton, John Foxe, Robert Bolton.

Man blir godt likt hvis man forsøker å finne den mest sympatiske fortolkningen av det andre mennesker uttrykker. Noen ganger må man lytte forbi det folk sier, og høre etter på følelsen som ligger bak. Det sies at man kan velge mellom å ha rett eller gode relasjoner. Når man fanges av behovet for å vinne en diskusjon eller overbevise andre, vil relasjonen bære preg av konkurranse, noe som kan være interessant og spennende, men slitsomt i lengden. De som blir best likt går ikke inn for å vinne over andre, men motiveres snarere av å finne en dypere mening. Det er en stor forskjell på meningssøkende relasjoner og konkurrerende relasjoner. Når man søker etter mening, vil man møte forskjeller og uenigheter med nysgjerrighet, og denne typen nysgjerrighet vitner om åpenhet og interesse. Det gjør at tilliten øker, den andre senker skuldrene, og når man klarer å legge til rette for et mellommenneskelig klima av denne typen, blir man godt likt. Robert Bolton skrev boken som heter «People skills» og den ble en psykologisk bestselger fordi den tilbyr ganske konkrete råd i forhold til sosialisering og samhandling med andre. I en episode på https://www.patreon.com/sinnsyn oppsummerer jeg boken og gir mine beste råd for sosial kompetanse.

Prayers from Spurgeon, Oliver Heywood - 1682, William Jay - 1832, and most remarkable prayer from Robert Bolton - 1638, a prayer during the time of the plague. It is a heavy judg-ment, and horrible sickness, which devours now and eats up thy people in our chief Ci-ty- And is fearfully scattered in many places abroad- It is called thine hand, thy sword, the stroke of thine Angel, the snare of the Fowler, the noisome Pestilence, the terror by night, the arrow that flieth by day, the destruction that wa-steth by noon-day, and walketh in the darkness. O Lord our God, let us be humbled propor-tionably to the extraor-dinary terror of thy heavy hand.-Thou Lord art ac-quainted with the an-guish of all hearts, with the griefs, and groans, the necessities, and wants of all distressed ones.

Universities have been battling it out to woo international students. Can they survive without them? Schools in the US and UK, but also now China, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea... have been racing to attract international students from Asia, Eastern Europe or Africa, and cash in on a $300 billion market. Then Covid-19 came on the scene. I discuss the new normal with Jamie Kanki, who spent years traveling the world recruiting students and now works for Grok and Concourse, two startups in digital student recruitment. "Universities are furiously looking at their financial model right now," she says. "The value of an experience and of a degree are really going to be put under a microscope over the next few years."Sources: Universities set to turn away hundreds of thousands of students, by Robert Bolton, Australian Financial ReviewBeyond $300 Billion: The Global Impact of International Students --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/borderlinepod/message★ Support this podcast ★

Thrilled to have spoken with Robert Bolton from the foresight studio, From Later. Our meandering conversation explores hybrid media events, a surprising surge for bike shops, and the future of commercial spaces. This week is a big mental download.

I firmly believe curiosity is critical for our surivival. Whether we're talking spiritually as individuals or collectively as a society, the fruits of curiosity—competence, agency, connection, empathy, humility and more—are the building blocks of our wellbeing. And now more than ever we need to prioritize making space to be curious so we can build a better future than the past we are finally stepping out of.

What is the #1 source of conflict in the work environment? More often than not, a failure to communicate is at the root of the problem. So, how do we learn to speak the same language as our partners in the RFP process? What can we do up front to prevent tension later on? And how do we address conflict before it derails our progress as a team? Lesli Pintor is a lecturer in the realm of business communications for the University of Arizona's Eller College of Management and a Leadership Challenge Certified Facilitator. An expert in communication styles, Lesli is certified in both the DiSC Assessment and 12 Driving Forces methodologies.

"BELIEVE IN YOURSELF" Jabari Hall -------------------------------------------- You ask any successful person today. And 100% of them, not 9 of 10, not most, not some, ALL of them, would say that in order succeed at anything in life, you have got to "Believe In Yourself". Because they know above all else. Above, around, and below the great words like 'Passion', and 'Love', and 'Not Quitting', 'Perseverance'... at the core of it is BELIEF... And I think that Robert Bolton said it best in saying "A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses; it is an idea that possesses the mind". And it is that very understanding, that very conclusion, that very choice I had to make to get myself out of the poor mentality; That mindset where I let other people decide on my abilities and capabilities, and allow their limitations to become mine. So like a Nat Turner, a Barack Obama, a Steve Jobs, a Thomas Edison, or that guy or girl you grew up with that you now see living their dreams... Believe In You. Believe and be unrealistic. Believe through the unforeseen. For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof, no proof is possible.... Jabari Hall JHasheart JHasheart

David Lizerbram is an attorney in San Diego, California. He founded his law firm in 2005 to provide legal services to entrepreneurs locally and nationwide. He has provided legal guidance on multimillion-dollar funding rounds, negotiated strategic partnerships, managed international intellectual property portfolios, and advised many innovative startups. David regularly speaks on legal matters and has presented as part of a legal education panel at San Diego's Comic-Con every year since 2008. He has also created Products of the Mind, a podcast about the intersection of business and creativity. In this episode, David and I discuss trademarks, legal entities and where you should form them, legal jurisdictions in the unfortunate event of a lawsuit, and the handful of things every SaaS entrepreneur should do to avoid legal problems. Please see Disclosure* (below) concerning affiliate links on this page. Key Segments [00:13] The law (business law, intellectual property law) is a set of tools that, hopefully, will help your business grow and succeed. So, just like you need to learn whatever other skills are appropriate (maybe it's coding software or maybe it's sales or marketing), getting an understanding of these subjects can be interesting and can be helpful in terms of avoiding problems and training yourself how to think–not to think exactly like a lawyer but how to anticipate where you're going to need to put your resources and time in the future. That's going to be an important key to the growth of a business. Whether it's a solo business or a larger enterprise, I think that's probably the right way to think about these things. [02:43] What due diligence is required when picking a company name to make sure someone else doesn't have rights to it? [02:48] David cautions that what he discusses on the podcast is only information and should not be taken as legal advice. [03:18] What is a trademark? A trademark is anything that identifies the source of goods or services. A trademark could be a business name, a brand name, a logo, a slogan, or a tagline. It is almost unavoidable for a business not to have a trademark or trademarks. You are in the intellectual property business whether you like it or not. [04:18] In the United States, and most other places, trademark rights are acquired through use in commerce. Generally, the first company to use a brand name for a particular type of good or service is going to have superior trademark rights even if they have not filed to register that trademark. You need to do some due diligence (research). [05:58] What do you do to make sure that someone else doesn't have a claim on a trademark? First, do the research to make sure that you are the first to use the name in that category of goods or services. Now, we're going to get into some gray areas. It's never exactly clear what falls into your category of goods and services. Another factor is that the names do not need to be 100% identical for there to be a conflict. The standard is “likelihood of confusion.” Is there a likelihood that a reasonable consumer would be confused as to the source of the goods or services? [09:48] What are the minimum steps someone starting out on a shoestring budget should take to avoid getting into trouble with a trademark conflict? If you can't hire a professional to do the research for you, the first thing to do, in the United States, is search the United States Patent and Trademark Office website. Search for variations on the name. Check spelling variations and plurals. Google it. Use any search engines that may be appropriate for your type of business. Psychologically, you have to avoid trying to convince yourself that something is not going to be a problem. The more research you do, the better off you will be. It helps if you chose a unique name. Pharmaceuticals chose made up names (coinages) for this reason. [13:08] Is there a way to register a trademark in case someone does claim that it's theirs? Even having a registered trademark does not cure an underlying conflict. It doesn't make the problem go away. Registering the trademark amounts to attesting to the fact that you believe that the trademark is clear and fair to use. In the United States you can file on the basis of “in use” or “intent to use.” [15:53] What are the types of legal entities a SaaS company is likely to be, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these? There are really four types of legal entities a business could be. None of them is wrong or right. It all depends on the circumstances and where you're going with the business. [16:18] A sole proprietorship is one person who hasn't filed anything and is just doing business as him or herself. Refer also to [19:50]. [16:28] A partnership is the default entity for two or more people doing business together. A partnership can have different types of agreements and filings or can be fairly informal. Refer also to [20:30]. [16:53] The next level of complexity or sophistication would be limited liability entities: Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and corporations. Refer also to [22:20] and [24:35]. [17:18] A corporation can be anything from one person to Apple or General Motors. Refer also to [25:55] and [31:00]. [17:38] If you are operating as a sole proprietorship or general partnership, you and your partners are liable personally for the debts of the business and being bound to contracts, meaning: you can be sued personally. [18:08] The primary reason for an LLC or corporation (which are actually very similar) is that the owners are not subject to personal liability in most cases. These entities provide some protection for your personal assets, credit, etc. There is a cost for these entities and some other requirements, but it's insurance against you being personally sued over something having to do with the business. [24:38] What do you need to do to maintain the limited liability limitation? Usually, it's just a matter of informing your state that you are still in business. Generally, the costs and requirements for operating an LLC are low. [25:58] What are the different kinds of corporations? The typical kinds of for-profit corporations are S-Corps and C-Corps. A corporation is a company owned by shareholders, one or many. The difference is how you have chosen to be taxed. The corporation pays corporate taxes, and the shareholders pay individual taxes on distributions and salaries. The so-called S-election results in taxation much like a partnership. Refer also to [29:50]. [28:43] What type of entity you want to be is an important decision, but is not a decision you are making for life. It's common for companies to convert. You can close a company and sell the assets. You can change to another state. There may be expenses, and it may be cumbersome, but it's not the end of the world if you have to change. [29:53] Profits and losses are passed through to the owners at the end of the year for LLCs and S-Corps. An LLC and an S-Corp provide essentially the same legal liability protection. [31:03] What is the burden for maintaining an S-Corp? Typically, a corporation does have to have annual meetings of shareholders and directors. There may just be one shareholder and director, and it may be the same person; in this case, there is just a document that needs to be generated and signed. If you are sued, you need to be able to show compliance with regulations. [34:23] How do these laws work when dealing with companies internationally? Most contracts contain a choice-of-law provision. Pay attention to these, they are important negotiating points. If there is a lawsuit, arbitration, or something else related to a contract you may need to travel and hire attorneys in some distant jurisdiction to defend your rights. [38:48] If you're selling from your website, think about your terms and conditions. If you're going through distributors or third parties, there are terms and conditions there as well. [40:03] Why do some companies incorporate in Delaware? What makes Delaware attractive? It depends on where you are going with your business. If you're starting out and not necessarily planning to have a large enterprise that is backed by venture capital, going to have lots of investors, or go public, the recommended move is to form your entity in the state in which you are going to do business. [44:18] What are the things every business should do? Pay attention to trademarks. Get a good handle on the people who are working for you. Make sure they are classified correctly as employees or independent contractors, according to the laws the state in which you are doing business, and treated appropriately for their classification. [46:38] What resources have you found to be exceptionally valuable? The book People Skills by Robert Bolton has become an invaluable resource. We all need to continue to work on our people skills.
