Casual Articles - 30 Ways to be a Butt-Head Boss
Disaster struck the southern United States in August, 2005 as Hurricane Katrina did major damage to New Orleans and southern parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

Here are some of the things I’ve observed about the Katrina experience that are applicable to t

When selling yourself, be quick, direct, and get your point across in less than half a minute. We’re always on a hyper deadline. No time for small talk. Tell me what you have and let’s go. 10-second sound bites, three word emails, short hand text messages—speed of communication is king. You can either resist this fast pace and lose out, or make it work for you and watch it pay off nicely.Small business owners: get to the point fast and then get faster. Give your unique selling proposition without fluff. If you have a janitorial supply company, skip th
2. Believe that all of your people are lazy, good-for-nothing slackers. Remind them of that frequently.
3. Get mad and shout a lot. This will reinforce to your “workers” that you mean business.
4. Never grant special favors. Having babies, being sick, taking time off to go to weddings, funerals or 50th anniversaries are just ways to get out of work. Don’t let them get away with it.
5. Try not to make decisions. Decisions will only give your boss a reason to fire you. If a decision is absolutely necessary, try to postpone it as long as possible.

Like it or not, if you’re over 50 and changing careers, you’re going to face some challenges that younger workers aren’t accustomed to. There’s an unspoken bias out there against older workers – at least in many companies - and unless you plan ahead and are prepared to meet that bias head on, you could be in for a long and frustrating job search.For many employers, “older” workers mean trouble. The perception is that workers over 50 will have more health problems, will miss more work days, will be more forgetful and make more mistakes on the job, and wi

What do you think the problem was? If you work together again, is the problem going to resurface?Here are six steps to help you get back a lost client:1. Give it some time. Don’t go rushing after the client. Let them think about the problem if there was one. This will also give yo

There are employment and career opportunities in the car wash business. That sounds rather interesting doesn't it? Do you know why there is so much opportunity and employment available in the car wash business?It is because car wash owners have been exploiting the cheap Hispanic illegal alien and illegal immigrant labor for over four decades. That is about to end and now they will have to hire American citizens to do the work and that might require paying them a little more and making a little less profits and even perhaps raising the price of the car

There are a lot of products than can be made at home to sell and there are a many that can be sourced from various suppliers as well. It is not necessary to make everything your self that you want to sell. You might want to render some sort of service that can be done from your home.Think about how many things can be done from your home based business. If you have floristry qualifications or can make curtains and cushions or do upholstery and furniture repairing, this can all be done
6. Do not tolerate errors. Of any kind or any size. Even the smallest of errors just reinforces the fact that your people are screw-ups. Fire people for minor infractions.
7. Criticize. Never be satisfied with any of your employees’ work products. If they were trying at all, they would be doing better.
8. Refuse to listen to suggestions. Your subordinates are just trying to get you to do something that will get you into trouble. They don’t have the sense god gave a goose anyway. Your way is the right way.
