It’s surprising these days how many people have issues about all sorts of things in life and business. If you are in business of any kind, but especially in the home business arena it’s important that you stop playing the blame game.
More and more often people are looking for someone to blame for anything that seems to go wrong, whether it’s the government, the bank or any other individual or organization they can place the blame on instead of looking at the situation in the correct perspective.
Perfect example of playing the blame game…
One of the most amazing and crazy stories I heard lately was that a friend of mine who is in the scrap car business was getting a damaged van that he had agreed to sell to a person who was going to repair the van and sell on to someone who wanted that particular van for the budget it was going to be for sale at. When my friend went to collect the vehicle, the company had made a decision to scrap the vehicle themselves instead of selling on.
Believe it or not, it was deemed to be my friends’ fault that the seller’s decision was changed according to the person who was going to receive the van and that my friend was letting the eventual owner down. The decision to scrap the van was made before my friend had arrived to collect the vehicle, so it’s unrealistic and unfair for him to get the blame for the decision.
I wonder if the person “blaming” had promised that the deal was done instead of saying that the deal is done in principle only and therefore is looking to blame someone for their own mistake.
If you are or have been in a similar situation then you need to avoid playing the blame game and look at yourself and the situation logically.
