- Creativity in Cooking and Business
-
Whenever I post a recipe I usually get an email or two asking me how closely one has to follow the specific instructions and ingredients. People want to know if they can substitute items, change the amounts, or add something to the mix.
My response is always the same -- go for it! Cooking should be a personal creative adventure. I am not one to feel tied to the exact instructions in a recipe. Which is a good thing, because one of my favorite cookbooks is Norwegian, and it's very hard to find Reindeer meat in West Michigan. (Besides, I think Santa wouldn't be very pleased). My creative solution is to substitute New York Strip steak.
Your IBO business is a lot like cooking -- it calls for creativity, personalization, and the expression of your own style and way of doing things. Certainly, you should follow Quixtar's Business Rules. And I do suggest you consider our recommendations and advice as well as that of your upline.
But at the end of the day, how you sell to your customers, what you chose to focus your business on, and how you explain and express why you are involved with Quixtar needs to come from the heart and be a personal statement. And you'll likely be more successful sounding sincere and expressing your passion.
Owning your own business is a challenge that calls for creativity, just like cooking. Dare to alter the recipe once in a while and try new things on the menu. You'll be glad you did.
