Romeo's Tip of the Week: Listen and Pay Attention to Everything Around You

A view of the world from the perspective of Romeo, The Little Black Dog.

Can you believe another week has gone by?

I’ve been so busy going new places and meeting new people and trying new things. Like the other day my friend, Sir Buttons, and I went to a photography studio to have our picture taken. It was fun and a great opportunity to hand out a few of my new business cards.

There are lots of opportunities around us when you are social.

Just like when I was at the dog park waiting for my new friend, Sadie May, to show up; I was just lying on the cool grass watching a butterfly when I overheard two people having a conversation. They had evidently just started their own business and they were trying to decide how to set up a website to draw interest from lots of people. Well I knew right away my team at “Little Black Dog Social Media& More” could sniff out the right strategies for them. So with a little nudging and pulling on my leash my momma and I went over to meet them. Of course they were petting me and I was being my usual friendly self. Before long we gave them a business card and let them know how the team could help them. Our team really listens to our clients so we can find the solution that best fits their needs. I know I’ve said it before, but listening is another key to success at anything.

My tip of the week: Listen and pay attention to everything and everyone around you; it can be very empowering!
