Building A Strong Business Family

Steps to Enchantment...

• Smile big (when you pick the kids up from school)
• Dress appropriately (Don't wear your teenage daughter's midriff t-shirt)
• Reduce the number of choices (chocolate milk or juice)
• Find shared passions (crafting)

I'm a mom first and then I'm an itty-bitty-teeny-weeny-dreaming-to-grow-my-business-crafter-on-Etsy so when I read Guy Kawasaki's Enchantment, The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions, I immediately related it to my family.  If building a thriving business is like investing in my happy family, then I'm all for it!

As opposed to the "dog eat dog" mentality, Guy Kawasaki writes about building strong, trusting, positive relationships with your customers, employees and your boss.  Done right, it will create a connection that will bond you to "dream the same dream".   It seems simple enough with the strategies Mr. Kawasaki suggests but I'm sure it takes commitment, practice, mistakes & corrections. 

Chapters 1 through 9 in the book spoke directly to me and each "how to" step is something I can practice today and will be relevant in the tomorrows to come.  The following chapters that deal with employees and bosses, well I'm not quite there yet.  If my desire to build a business is as strong as my pledge to raise a happy family then eventually I'll be referencing the later chapters too.  This book is a keeper...come back and meet my employees in a few years, okay?

BrytonPick Review

Have you ever come out of a restaurant with a yucky feeling of food stuck between your teeth...no floss, no toothpick and a chunky piece of dinner right there so you used a safety pin, or a paper clip or something else to floss that food out?  Disgusting, unsafe but sometimes...true!

True for me so I am happy for the opportunity to review BrytonPick.

What is BrytonPick? 
BrytonPick is a safe, reusable, convenient and discreet on the go dental tool designed to remove food debris and plaque from between your teeth after eating.  It is made in the USA from recyclable material and has a germ resistant steel cleaning strip that can be reused for up to 30 days.  It comes in a portable credit card size carry pouch.


Now to share my thoughts on BrytonPick.

I Like that it is ...

- Pretty! Comes in yellow, orange, green, pink...and more.
- Portable and Convenient!  It is small and flat so you can stick in into your purse or wallet and it comes in a sturdy plastic pouch.
- Reusable!  Clean it with a tissue and use for up to 30 days.  The pick is on both sides so you do have more than one use if you decide not to store it.
- Hygienic!  I'm happy to know that it has germ resistant stainless steel strips.
- Easy to Use!  I read the directions and went to the web site to watch a "how to use" video just to be safe but it is very easy to use.  Thin, flexible and easy to reach my back teeth.
- Discreet!  Not like messy flossing and more stylish than a toothpick.

I Don't Like that ...

- it didn't slide smoothly between all of my teeth like floss does.
- steel feeling between my teeth.
- the steel strip can cut your lips if you are not careful.  I wouldn't let my children use this.

Final thoughts:

Before I give my final thoughts, I will share a little about me because everything is relative.  I'm a frugal, "one size fits all" mom who will make everyone in the household use the Spider Man bandages I purchased on sale for a great price. With BrytonPicks, my "likes" are more than my "don't likes" but my dislikes have a lot to do with comfort and safety which are quite important to me and I would hesitate to buy for that reason.  For convenience, this is great  - perfect to use when the popcorn gets stuck between my teeth during the movies and for that, I would be very happy to always have a BrytonPick in my bag.
