Some people see problems as opportunities. Understanding that getting through each opportunity puts them closer to next one. Kind of going through life with a stair step mentality. Excited to get to next round of new opportunities because they are seen as ‘steps’ along a pathway. They feel like bigger opportunity (problem) better because that means a bigger step taken. With this outlook they welcome big challenges. They push ahead boldly, as though it were a sporting event in which opportunities were opponent. The opportunity being thing that must be overcome or conquered in order to move up to higher levels of competition. Thereby bringing higher levels of enjoyment. Enjoying whole process way one might enjoy a weekend hobby or companionship of a loved one. These are kinds of people who charge out of bed in mornings because they see upcoming day as another opportunity to be great.

Conversely there are those who don’t ever want there to be any problems (opportunities). Believing that problems are to be avoided at all costs. In minds of these people problems are all bad. They see very occurrence of opportunity as a problem. They get caught up believing that it’s end of something rather than focusing on new beginning that lies before them once challenge is met. These are people who never confront either themselves or others. They just accept. "Whatever works for you." "If that’s what you want."

These people don’t realize it but they are victims. Accepting what comes instead of actively going to where they want to be. Sometimes they see themselves as peacekeepers. Which is not a bad thing to be but peacemaking would be an even higher aspiration.

Dish Network boasts an impressive clientele of more than nine million monthly subscribers. Significantly, though they are only second largest distributor of satellite television service, they have been voted #1 in customer service by J.D. Power and Associates. While every business has, by necessity, a different business plan, a careful look at some of things Dish Network has done to be successful will yield a few principles that will help your small business to succeed.

Echo-Star owns Dish Network, and they are currently in negotiation with one of their channel providers because provider is demanding a higher per-package, per-user fee each month. The demand, though an increase of only a few pennies per user, represents millions of dollars in short and long term for Dish. I present conflict here to demonstrate Dish's commitment to minimizing costs. Rather than just rolling over and accepting fee increase, Dish Network is demonstrating to their customers their commitment to providing their services at lowest cost possible. For any business to be successful, and I assume that is goal for your home business, it must bring in more revenue than it shells out. Being diligent in fighting to minimize your own costs will go a long way towards that end.
