It’s a simple principle, really. If anyone is familiar with Stephen Covey who authored The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, you would know that the title of this entry is Habit #5.

With the change in marketing focus, there is a vocal minority – at least from the feedback that I have heard – who are expressing disappointment. What I would like to know from anyone who is disgruntled is, “have you been open-minded in seeing the potential positive effects of this change?”

It’s part of human nature to assume off of initial reactions. We do it on a daily basis. But I would caution anyone who has done the same with Trading Post’s most recent change to truly seek to understand the situation and the solution that we have created.

I can’t stress it enough. Seek first to understand.

Before making the decision a significant amount of information was evaluated, and decisions were based on fact, which culminated in the change away from the network marketing business model.

Negativity breeds negativity. Many have seen the merit of the change, and I for one am a patient individual, and will help and honestly answer any question or concern that arises.

If you seek to find fault, you will never find virtue.
