Watch Out for People Who Belong to the
Do you know people at the office that just love to talk about everything that is wrong with the world? It seems they are almost in every business or organization. It appears that these pessimists find delight in the human foibles that abound. They seem to get a feeling of superiority knowing that the world is full of problems, and they love to talk about them. They can quote the latest news headlines that paint a picture of certain disaster for the economy. If you listen to them long enough they will give you the extended three day weather forecast, fraught with inclement weather warnings. And don’t forget about the local sports team. It doesn’t matter that they won last night, the next team they will face will surely defeat them.
Before you know it, this type of person will sap any optimism right out of the air and leave you gasping for mental oxygen. It doesn’t matter that you can give examples that disprove what they are saying. They just consider it false propaganda. If you are not careful, they will make you a dues paying, card carrying member of their “Chicken Little Club”. Just like the saying; misery loves company and this is the kind of company you can do without.
Chances are you will never be able to change this person’s way of thinking, but you can usually change the scenery. When they are in your presence, the best way to avoid this kind of negative person’s web of entrapment is to politely excuse yourself and head on your way. You will be glad you did.

- It all depends on what your skills are. What kind of help do you need? Do you want someone to help you with the marketing side? do you need help on the financing side? Do you need help producing the product or delivering the service?
Watch out though - a lot of people start off in business with a partner, then someone ends up doing more work and the other person resents it and the business falls apart.
