Businesses don't fail... People do!
I frequently hear owners of businesses complaining about the lack of ability or commitment of the stupid morons who work for them ... and I always respond with the same question; "Who is the idiot who hired them and keeps paying their salaries?"
Sales suicide ... sometimes, but for the entrepreneurs who are not hiding behind their fragile egos it is a wake-up call that I am never afraid to give. In fact it is a wake-up call that keeps me in the business of transforming their businesses into lean effective profitable entities, adding huge value to the business, its owners and all the amazing people who are smart enough to implement the simple uncommon sense that I impart. Those who understand what their collective energy is contributing to our economy.
Over the past forty something years I have built the reputation for halving staff complement and doubling profitability while effectively creating an escape hatch for those people who can't take the pass or believe they have a right to some form of sheltered employment. I do not waste my time with people who are not seriously prepared to do whatever it takes, be they business owners or employees.
The statement “a fish rots from the head down” means that leadership is the root cause of an organizations failure and demise. This is true whether that organization is a country, a company, or a sales force. If I can't get the head right, frankly I'm not interested in taking money for something I know is only a token fix of no lasting value.
Everything is energy! Back in the 1930's Napoleon Hill, author of the still bestselling business book of all times, described the principle of a mastermind as; "a group of two or more people working in perfect harmony for a common goal." Another way of saying that is; The frequencies of the energies of the Business, its owners, and the entire operational team must all be a harmonious vibration match with the overall objectives ... if not the conflicting energies will eventually destroy it all.
On Thursday the 23rd of August I will be sharing my over 40 years of experience and the principles and foundation of my work in a workshop entitled "People Proofing Your Business". Space is limited to 18 business owners to ensure plenty of time for practical interaction. Book Now
I look forward to inspiring you to new heights.
