 Conflict is an inevitable part of life, especially in the world of business. However, what sets successful businesses and professionals apart is their ability to resolve conflicts effectively and, even better, to prevent them from arising in the first place.

Through my years of experience in managing business-to-business (B2B) relationships, I have come to understand that the key to conflict resolution lies in proactive measures. This article will explore two essential strategies I have found invaluable: clarifying expectations and utilizing Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs). 

You have just set out on your entrepreneurial journey, or a new project at work, or even a new home improvement project around the house. 

You might have a vague understanding of your end goal. Something like, “I want to get promoted at the end of the year,” or “I want to start a business that provides babysitting and personal shopping services to bring in some extra income.” 

 No one is immune to the stressors and anxieties of entrepreneurship and daily life. We all get our turn with negative situations like haters, negative environments, mishaps, death, disability, financial challenges, closed doors, or experiential deficits. 

But we can control how adept we are at adapting to or managing stress. We can create both a competitive advantage in the marketplace and increased peace for ourselves by becoming proficient in managing stressors associated with our businesses and lives.
