You own your own dreams. You own your own company. You are the reason for your success.

So how do you develop a productive relationship with your company? It starts with getting a clear perspective on the relationship between you and your company.

It starts with realizing that they want you to be successful. The more they can provide a platform for you to stand on and be successful, the better off they will be. And they KNOW that you are the reason for your success and want you to own the success.

Your home office is not your ATM. You don’t just put in your PIN and get money. They want you to succeed but have limited resources to make this happen.

If you are in doubt, you have to figure it out. Your company is not your parent. They are not responsible for you. They are your vendor. They provide your products, training, incentives, and promotions. They want you to succeed but are not responsible for your success.

Here are three tips on how you can have better communication between you and your company.

  1. Use the golden rule. Treat your company employees the same way that you want to be treated. Ask yourself, “How would I want to be treated in these circumstances?”
  2. If you are in doubt, figure it out. If you don’t know the answer, look it up in your back office and figure it out. Own your knowledge. Call for clarifications, not for facts.
  3. Make your complaint into a request. Show everybody in the company that you are solution-oriented and not problem oriented.

Things will go smoother when you own your own success and see your company as your valued vendor.
