Finding a person's potential

Finding a person’s potential:

 

     Motivation leads individuals to greatness and gives them the ability to accomplish laughable goals and unbelievable accomplishments. The trick is finding out what type of motivation is needed to get someone to believe in themselves. Everyone learns and listens differently, match the needs and style and you can have monumental success.

     Over the years, I’ve hired many people; some were good, some were not so good but all had some motivation other than the primary needs of food and shelter. Most did want money but the successful ones strived for a higher form of pay then their check. Filling a sense of belonging, having a partnership and flexibility within the job kept most coming back to work on Monday.

     What do you offer your Employees? What have you asked your Employer for? We would love to hear your ideas and past experiences. Find us and comment on Facebook at facebook.com/RilynnCompany or add comments below this post. By sharing ideas and practices, we can make businesses employee friendly and hire the best and the brightest to give them what they want to succeed. In this way, we can all take our business Up 1 Level.

The power of a Good Feeling

The power of a Good Feeling

 

Workdays can carry a natural routine if you let them; we get up, get ready and go to ‘work,’ sometimes without thinking. Sure, some of us stop by the local coffee shop or slam an energy drink to get a jumpstart but end up in the same place. We have time off with holidays while begging for that week of vacation that never seems to come and goes by too fast.

     Does the above sound like you and your situation or are you loving your job and getting up early to be at work? If you are early, you may have the power of a good feeling. Some say attitude, some say outlook, but when you walk into work, are people happy to see you or do they look away? Kinda scary to think about…are you worried now?

     Your situation is yours; own it as you own your most valued possession. Do what you will but you cannot get away from it so it may as well be positive for you. If you are still reading this, chances are you are already a Good Feeling person full of life possessing a drive to succeed in being happy. I’m speaking to you at this moment.

     Starting tomorrow, go out of your way to spread your good feelings with someone you care about or someone needing to be lifted. They are not hard to find. Share with them a new joke, a short story or famous inspirational quote to help them through their day. The change in them will change you and the proverbial ball will continue to roll as you move about your day. When the alarm clock sounds tomorrow, choose that opportunity to take your good feeling Up One Level.

2015! The Year of Years

2015! The Year:

 

I’m not one to talk about the past, nor did I willingly participate in the previous ‘bad’ economy, but gosh darn it, 2015 is here!  So much to be grateful for and so much to look forward to this coming year; the possibilities are endless and the hope is growing.

     If you don’t know, I run the Rilynn Professional Building in Sun City near the corner of Sun City Blvd and Cherry Hills Blvd. We have executive suites, mailbox services, conference rooms and a large meeting room. So I feel I have a finger on the pulse of what is going on with the small businesses in the area. Take it from me, that pulse is getting stronger and the new blood is starting to circulate.

     More and more people have expressed their desire to start a new company and purchase a mailbox. This gives them credibility and doesn’t show the world where they live. Most of these businesses are second incomes and/or hobbies but it is a big step that could turn into their dreams of the future. To top that, every other day someone asks me about office space or we talk about getting their ‘group’ started in the meeting room. This flexibility allows them to break out of their house and get away from all the distractions while working from home.

     The excuses are fading, no elections this year, the housing market is picking up and the 215 Freeway is actually being completed. Add in the excitement of new restaurants, Wal-Marts, bowling alley and movie theaters going in and Menifee is the place to have a business. The transformation of a bedroom community will be complete in the next 5 years as developers come in and finish projects long forgotten during the recession.

     2015 will be the year, the year for what is up to you. Sure, do your New Year’s resolutions and set your goals and think positive, you’ll be amazed at what happens. Smile at people you don’t know, take a left instead of a right and continue to take your business in 2015 Up One Level.
