Sometimes We Have To Just Step Away...

The other day, I found myself thinking about what we used to call the “good old days” in business, and honestly, those days don’t look the same anymore.

There’s a new generation out here doing some amazing things—organized, financially smart, and really making their mark. And I love seeing it.

But with all that movement, growth, and responsibility, one thing still hasn’t changed, we can get so busy taking care of everything and everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves.

Because the truth is, you can’t pour into your family, your business, or your team if you’re running on empty. At some point, you’ve got to pause and check in with yourself.

Sometimes that just means being honest about what’s working, what’s not, what you need, and what you’ve been putting off. Along the way, we’re going to mess up. We’re going to have moments where we feel frustrated, disappointed or downright mad at ourselves. That’s part of it.

Zig Ziglar said “Winners are ex-losers who got mad and decided to do something about it.”

And that’s exactly what it is. You feel it, you shake it off, and you keep moving. Sometimes the best thing you can do is step away for a minute.
Not quit. Not give up. Just, pause.

Take a day. Take a weekend if you can. Breathe. Reset. Get your mind back where it needs to be.

Relax. Reflect. Rejuvenate.

And for those of us who remember 😊
let Calgon take you away.

How to Build a Loyal Workforce by Anita Starks

Employee loyalty should be at the top of the list for every employer, and be integrated into your business strategy. It’s that important! Simplify – Those leaders who gain loyalty do it by removing barriers for everyone else. Their primary job is to continuously make everyone else’s job easier. If your employee sees you trying to help make their job easier, they will be much more loyal. Lines of Communication – Often, as business leaders, we tend to focus all our attention on the consumers and our bottom line. But what we must realize is that when we turn some of that attention and focus to our employee’s loyalty, it will automatically help us reach those other goals. Employees who are loyal will provide better customer service and will be more apt to helping your business grow. Evaluate – The first thing you need to do is recognize that some people are naturally loyal, while others are not. You may need to replace those people who are not loyal and Re-place th...

How to Build a Loyal Workforce by Anita Starks Part 2

Continuing this months topic of how to build a loyal workforce, I want to talk about initiating loyalty first to employees and producing action from your plans. Reciprocate – The biggest secret is to give loyalty first. If you want employees to go above and beyond for you, you must go above and beyond for them. The best leaders get this. They fight for the team, and in return, the team fights for them. This doesn’t mean that you must give them more financially. There are many non-financial rewards you can give that will help build loyalty, such as giving respect and praise, having an employee of the month being flexible when they need time off, and listening to their suggestions and feedback .   Putting Your Plan into Action – To put this plan into action, take some time to focus on your employee loyalty. Work at building a loyal team and doing what it takes to make that happen. It may take you coming to terms with the fact that you need to replace a few pe...
