Sometimes we wonder why our life and relationship is going through so much struggle. Sometimes the reason may be so simple, you fell in love inside your box. The places that we grew up, the schools we attended or perhaps a friend of a friend or family member. The love for you may not be inside of that box of your life. Sometimes the one for you is in a totally different place, maybe even miles away. Stop seeing what’s inside of your box in life as all there is. Climb the walls of what boxes you in and jump over to a new reality. You will discover that the world is far bigger than those four corners of life. The woman or man of your life is probably looking for you, outside of your environment, we’re the other 99%of the world is living. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/support

After a long hiatus, I am jumping in head first with a topic I often speak about, individuality. Life can be challenging for children and siblings without the parental attachment of being treated like a sibling. This episode is a call to action for parents to see their children for whom they are and not a attachment in a family collective. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/support

Are you receiving the customer service you are entitled or are you accepting lack lustered customer service as the normal? I guess you could say that most of my career has been about customer service. In fact, in many of the occupations I have been on the front line. From being a Bus Operator, Mail Carrier, Restaurant Manager, Senior Customer Service Representative in a walk-in office, Insurance Agent, Car and Furniture Salesperson. This is not to mention my career on the phones in a customer service and collections, in banking and Public Utility. I have always strived to give superior customer service in some pretty heated confrontations while having to deliver, not so pleasant and desired information. Hey, I guess it is just in my blood. Delivering the type of service, I have strived to deliver and even having executives of the organizations, I represented, coming to me personally and introducing themselves and telling me of their observation of such service, has given me the acknowledgement of a "Job Well done." Well, you can say because I give it, I expect it in return, I think this is just fair.  Even when I encounter a representative that is not giving the best service, I give them an opportunity to turn the tide and end in a positive note.  But what about the ones that you have attempted to give the benefit of the doubt and they still don’t change?  Do you feel that the customer service you receive is meeting or failing the grade?  This is an open forum and your opinions, comments and suggestions are encouraged.  Let’s get a dialog about Lack Luster Customer Service in this 2-part episode. Share with a friend and let’s get the conversations going.  Use the link below to get into the discussion! https://anchor.fm/takeitfromtim/message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/support

Communication is as old as creation.  As centuries have passed and technology has advanced,  we seem to do less in verbal communicating.  With the invention of the first phones, then mobile phones, smart phones, the internet and SMS texting, we tend to spend more time communicating on our devices and less time communicating verbally.  Technology has taken away the warm vocal communications from many families and replaced it with cold, impersonal texting. Some families are sending messages to one another in the same house, not to mention, in the same room.  Pretty silly, right? What happens when this communication in not received in the manner it was intended.  Although we now have Emojis to convey emotions, its is not the same as hearing voice inflections when directly communicating with one another.  Sometimes ALL CAPS could mean, pay attention, what I am saying is important, or it could alert the recipient of displeasure with something within the conversation.  Other times, it simply just mean, the other party just forgot to remove the cap lock.  Emotional sending and receiving of information can be cloudy in the age of technology.   In this Podcast Episode, I will discuss how important it is to remember that the typewritten word, or in this case, texting is not always the best form of communicating.  Sometimes, its important to take your message back to the verbal basics and reconnect to mankind. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/support

Independent thinking has become a minority traveled pathway to happiness and fulfilled living.  Men and women worldwide have put their independent thoughts on a dusty shelf and taken up the dismal footsteps of the majority.  Many have been living a true life of "SIMON" says and are drifting through life following others into a ditched reality.   Are you ready to wake up and to start taking control of your own life?  Well, to do so, you will have to do something you may be a little uneasy about doing, and that's becoming a "minority".  You get one life to live, well at least to our knowledge.  Why continue to follow the blind when you can have 20/20 vision as a self affirming minority in the collective world, full of Majoritarianism. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeitfromtim/support
