Conflict Resolution
Have you ever had to deal with conflict in your corporation or business? Within any business circle, some sort of conflict is bound to happen at one point or another. This is especially relevant when pertaining to employees or team members, as everyone holds a different view, a different opinion or outlook. However, how the team members or their superiors deal with that conflict is especially important. In fact, the methods used define what type of leader you are. Most leaders will fall into two different categories. The first type looks at conflict in a negative way and provides consequences for any person who is part of a conflict or issue. This encourages employees or staff to push conflict issues down and not give them a voice. The resulting consequences are discouraged team members, lowered production and less profit.
The second type embraces conflict and conflict resolution. They encourage conflicts or issues to come to the surface, and then between them and the team members or associates, the conflicts are changed from negative into positive. Some of the best ideas and movements have resulted from conflicts and without conflicts, nothing is likely to improve, to work more effectively and efficiently, or to be transformed from good to great. This type of leader creates a positive environment where team members feel free to voice their opinions. What can result from this type of leader? A happier team, increased production and a bigger profit are just some of the great benefits of this kind of leader.
Conflict resolution is about giving staff and employees a voice and a means to vent their frustrations. This prevents negative conflict build up which can lead to a blow up. It is also about using those conflicts in a calm and positive way to positively affect a business, a plan or anything else in question. Conflict resolution is a wonderful opportunity for companies, corporations and businesses to change the initial fuel of conflicts to a whole vehicle for forward movement and improvement through ideas, brainstorming and inspiration. This is why the best and most influential companies and corporations take advantage of conflicts rather than looking at them in a negative way. If you have considered learning or furthering your skills in conflict management, the payoff is worth far more than the time it takes to purse this skill.

Re: New Year Resolutions...
- My New Years Resolution is to be earning $500+ with my online business. This includes any freelance work that I do. I'm about half-way there now.
Another Resolution is to look into selling more on eBay and maybe finding a reputable dropshipper that offers competitive pricing on high-demand items. I like eBay and the opportunity that it provides. I've mainly been selling personal items, but I'd like to start tapping into a larger market and making some significant income on eBay.

Hi Alan,
Do you mean $500+ per month?
And when you're selling items on eBay from a reputable dropshipper... do you think it's still important to pick a product you're passionate about (like what an entrepreneur would normally do when starting a business)? Or is it just about moving a popular item for profit on eBay?

Hi Kevin,
Yes, sorry I didn't clarify. My goal is to make $500+ per month.
I would say yes, pick products that you have an interest in. That's the best option if you're going to like what you do. Hopefully you can find a balance between products you're interested in and products that are in high demand.
