Are You Open To Business?

While walking around High Point Furniture Market exploring all of the buildings of design, I noticed this space. . .

While many spaces are open and encouraging visitors to step inside – this particular set up struck me and made me wonder if they really wanted the traffic.

One if the two narrow openings were blocked by a salesperson sitting at a table chatting with another person and a full trash can was front and center and distracted from the amazing items they had.

I stopped and peered inside, loving what I saw, but sadly I did not go in (I had goodie bags that would not allow comfortable navigation of their space).

This experience made me think of what I may have that could be blocking my business entrance.

As we all grow and change, both personally and professionally, sometimes it’s the simplest of actions that can make all the difference in our success.

Now, if you’ll excuse me – I need to clear a path and take out the trash.
