    Are you keeping your employees engaged?

    If you want your business to be as productive and successful as possible, you need to make sure you have numerous things in place.

    Bringing prestige to your small business

    When starting out in the world of small business it can feel as though you’re just one in an endless choir of voices. Alone larynx in a sea of thousands, screaming at the top of your lungs and hoping that you’ll be heard in the cacophony. The world of small business is a wonderful thing, especially in the digital age. It prevents the corporate leviathans from consolidating their stranglehold on the economy. Speaking of the economy, small businesses are tremendously useful on that front. They create jobs, generate wealth and drive innovation. They treat their employees well, they make a valuable contribution to their communities and pay their taxes. And yet, despite the myriad economic and social benefits they bring, small businesses often flounder in an economy dominated by multinational titans. Why? Why must 50% of startup businesses fail within their first 5 years because the customers that could have sustained them chose to take their business to Amazon?

    We feel that we can act in the best interests of our workers. After all, keeping them productive and motivated is our duty, right? But this is where we can get things wrong- incredibly wrong! Because we believe our vision to be for the greater good, this can overshadow leadership technique. When it comes to our employees, while we need to keep them motivated, it’s not through the traditional channels, it’s not about motivational speeches and getting them to stand on their desks, beating their chests and growling! Instead, the answer to keeping your employees motivated and productive stems from something for simpler, you’ve got to give them what they want. And while the answer is easy, getting there isn’t. With this in mind, what does the modern employee actually want?   (more…)

    “Pay yourself first” is a rather savvy term for a simple financial practice that not enough people make use of.

    Avoiding ‘business hot water,’ and what that entails

    We all hope to pursue our businesses well. Any competent business leader can tell you that preparing for the unexpected is something that helps them stay vigilant and capable in their roles. Sometimes, however, it can be very easy to fall into issues that even the best mind couldn’t have predicted. Sometimes, it might even be our legitimate fault for that to have happened. The life of a business leader is tough. Not only that, but someone running a business for the first time will find this twice as tough. Often learning by foresight rather than an error is superior, but it’s not a great failing in the business leader to make mistakes. After all, mistakes are often the number one expectation of the entire journey. (more…)
