Most of the things required to make improvements to your business, to allow you to move your business up a notch will be common sense type of ideas. Things you probably are already aware of.

All you have to do is get those ideas out and make use of them. Not that easy of a thing to do on your own.

That’s why motivational speakers and the personal business coach industry is flourishing. You pay them to get you going. To do the things you couldn’t do on your own because you just don’t have time.

The first thing they teach you is time management. Of course you have time to have a good idea and implement it.

You’ve heard about working on your business not in your business?

Well you just have to manage the requ

How to win friends and motivate your team.

Are you making Human Resources mistakes?
Have you heard any of these methods before?

We don’t need your suggestions..

We’ll tell you what and when to think..

We’ll write the manual and you follow it..

A great many employees leave their brainpower outside the office because of the top down management, head office mentality that runs some companies. These companies don't find out they have a problem until they start to falter. That's when the blame goes everywhere except to where it belongs.

I've seen well run successful BC companies bought by an eastern corporation and then operated from a distance. That's when they start to run the company their way and 'forget' about what works and who works. It's hard on employees to be managed from such a great distance. They soon learn that the local manager is not working for them but working for the eastern company. When mistakes are made at that distance, they are blamed on the economy, or the local governments or anything but the poor management of the head office. The purchased BC company becomes the 'western' branch of the larger eastern corporation and is managed that way. Just a small branch way out there. This scenario is the same on a north south basis. A BC company purchased by an Arizona company is not long for the business world. Good people start looking for more stable jobs.

When managing your business, wherever it is, consider the value of the employees. They'll make the difference between a good company and a great company. Let them know what the plan is. Ask for their participation in the plan. Let them be part of the plan. They in turn will be part of the business and the company will have a better chance of being 'a great place to work'.

Remember some of the -- OLD ADAGES -- and put them to work for you.

Don’t think, just do the job.

Minimum wage = Minimum brainpower

Pay peanuts, get monkeys

Increase wage = Increased brainpower

Increase teamwork = Increased brainpower

Money is not the only motivator.

Commission salesmen with the car allowance and entertainment budget, may be perceived to be well rewarded for their successful figures but they work hard to earn their pay. They deserve recognition just as much as the wage earner for achieving success for the company. They may need the appreciation even more because they are in fact working for themselves and the company while the wage earner is working for the company. The commission salesman has a lot more control over his/hers own success than does the person in the office. The commission or outside salesman does a lot of work by themselves, isolated from the office except by phone & blackberry. Keep them in the loop.

We've all been to motivational speaking events, or listened to the tapes or watched dvd's and probably you've thought the same as I have.

You’ll hear and see ideas and say to yourself ‘I knew that’ and you probably do but, have you done it or did you just hear it or read about it some time ago at a motivational talk.

You probably said at the time ‘that’s a good idea, I’ll have to implement that into my business or job.’
