It's not something I enjoy, and I'm still not comfortable with it, but I have learned how to manage it to get through business that has to feel social. If it's really important to your business, you CAN learn this. Your drive will help. If it's simply beyond your limits (stress limits there, not beyond your ability), you can hire a front person to handle that part. Look for the skills you know you lack in the people you hire. Now onto the difference between. Now for the difference between who we are in blogs and real life, I don't think real life can handle people without their filters in place. That's one of the reason why some of us literally need our blogs. It's a safe place to be genuine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-48679725933533755182006-10-12T20:02:00.000-07:002006-10-12T20:02:00.000-07:00I'm not a big conversationalist myself.

I got really good at asking questions about sports with my cousins. <br><br>That said I am absolutely hopeless at small talk. Sometimes I kind of envy folks who can spend hours talking about absolutely nothing. The rest of the time I'm thinking about the books I could be reading, the cats I could be petting or flowers I could be playing with. You just march to a different drummer girl.<br><br>JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-90129272232195160302006-10-14T10:53:00.000-07:002006-10-14T10:53:00.000-07:00ok...NOW I know we are the same person in differen...ok...NOW I know we are the same person in different bodies.<br><br>Small talk makes me nervous and feels so phony to me.

Second, after my experiences I think you can't know someone simply by reading them unless they are being honest about who they are and I don't think all people who write online are honest. Third, what's wrong with being driven as a business owner? Driven equals profits. However, you do need to remember a big part of the restaurant business is customer service and as the manager/owner you're customer service has the biggest bang because people feel extra super special to be taken care of by the chief.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
