Providing a service

We don’t start a business to hire employees, we start a business to fill a need and provide a service.

     So many people have big dreams and they don’t understand it takes a team to accomplish the bigger goals. Finding the right people can make all the difference but setting the correct expectations can make or break a business. If the expectations are too low, nothing gets done but if you push people to new heights they never thought they could reach, the business and the employee can grow. This improves moral with everyone involved and the customers will notice a positive direction for the company.

     Delegation is very important when a person has a team to rely on. Sure the main person can do everything better than anyone, but the head guy can not do all the things all the time. Therefore, proper encouragement and training can help the employee to not only become proficient at what they do, but they can get so good at it they become the teacher. Henry Ford was called out for not knowing everything about his company, and he simply stated that he did not have to know everything; he just had to know the people to ask everything to.

     A boss who constantly is offering advice, corrections and/or recommendations, stifles the employee’s ability to learn. Just like a parent never allowing a child to fall down. If a child falls, they learn to get up, and ‘mentally’ getting up is a hard thing to learn for some adults. For the leader who leads too much, they are not learning themselves because they are only doing what they already know and complaining they don’t have enough time in the day.

     Starting a business does fill a need for some, just look around to see who is willing to grow and start looking to the sky with them.
