PAY YOURSELF ENTREPRENEUR

SHORTCUTS IN BUSINESS…….HMMM THEY CAN BE COSTLY

I often find myself in talks with people about business, entrepreneurs and the success of business people.  Most people tend to think that entrepreneurs have shortcuts, secrets to their success.  They rush off to seminars trying to figure out the secrets and of course looking for the shortcut!  I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating, “the thing about shortcuts is that one is never enough” ~ Kimberly Davis Shortcuts taken anywhere eliminates the knowledge that only process can…

The devil is in the Details

I absolutely hate talking about the ‘enemy’, however this phrase is cliché and truth! While the big picture is always or usually where most people focus, set the goals and aim their dreams. The smaller details are overlooked and under-valued, however it is in the details where things fall apart, where hopes are destroyed, dreams deferred, businesses loss and entrepreneurs become employees again. I’m not a fan of the seminars that hype people up, about the potential of what…

HUMAN RESOURCES, A JOB WITHIN A JOB!

HUMAN RESOURCES IS A BUSINESS WITHIN ITSELF People who do their job well make it look real easy.  I think on every level there is a misconception of duties, job expectations and the difficulty of the task completed.  Managers tend to feel and assume that workers are always goofing off, that for some reason all employees are lazy and require task masters to remain focus.  Employees think that most managers are ignorant, arrogant, self-absorbed, lazy, and do nothing.  WOW?…
