Few people are aware of the most overlooked business truth in existence today. We try to over complicate how to run a business. We try to over analyze what makes a business succeed. We definitely over educate ourselves in business schools and colleges all over the USA. If you have been paying attention at all, then you already know that very few people who have business degrees – even graduate degrees – ever end owning and operating their own business. They usually run someone else’s business and in most cases, they have no clue at all what it takes to actually operate one.

The Communicators Own The Business World

Here’s what is overlooked: Every dollar you earn in business comes as a result of the cooperation of other people. Customers are people. Employees are people. Suppliers and clients are people. And the fact is that ANY of these groups of people can absolutely break you if they ever decided upon doing that. Sure, technical and financial skills are very important, but people skills are vital.

Many Corporate Positions Are Highly Inflated

If you are like me, you have spent quite a bit of time in the corporate world and have witnessed lots of people in high places that had absolutely zero people skills. Unfortunately, these people have gotten highly rewarded in spite of not adding value to the business in terms of creating or cultivating relationships with customers, clients, employee, or suppliers. Yet they are compensated as if their value was sustainable. I am here to tell you that this not the case. And if you haven’t noticed, many companies today are suffering from years and years of overpaid executives who have added no value to the company. They have nurtured no vital relationships and they have zero communication skills. They have received compensation based on seniority and time in rank alone. These companies have lost their ability to innovate and are getting killed by their competition. Companies like this are not much value to our society. Thus, we have executives at the top with advance business degrees, but no business skills. This confirms that colleges do not properly teach us how to run a business.

Network Marketing Provides An Excellent Testing Ground

MLM opportunities are the perfect medium in which to test this overlooked truth of business. To get an assessment, spend some time talking to a few network marketers who enjoyed massive success. Find out what their philosophies and beliefs are. I guarantee that you will find some form of this overlooked truth at the heart of their successful business model. Conversely, the CEO of your bank might state this truth in a conversation, but real the question is – does it exist in his actions?
