Business in Other Areas

Currently I live in the great Pacific Northwest, about 40 min. south of Seattle, WA and very fast pace.  I don’t think I ever realized how much so till I went on my house hunting trip to Georgia this past week.  My family and I are relocating there for business.  Everything just moves at a slower pace.
People are so nice in both places.  Traffic is bad in both places.  There are a ton of trees in both places.  Life though is much different.  From the airport personnel, to bankers, to real estate agents, restaurant staff and many other people it becomes very obvious that different things are important to different people. 
If I was to do business in one area vs. the other I would have to learn what is important and to whom.  The real issue comes though when you have a national business or even an international business.  How do you then make sure that you give each group of people what they, even subconsciously, desire?  It can’t be easy.  It’s where a balancing act of empathy, with speed comes into play.

On my $100 Challenge I feel like I’m getting behind.  It has been less than successful, but I also hope that I’m learning what not to do as well.
