“To be or not to be. That is the question. Whether ’tis nobler, in the mind, to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them.” And, of course, you probably recognize that as a quote from the bard himself, William Shakespeare.
And here’s why I shared the “to be or not to be” quote…
Mostly because I I love to connect business to just about anything. But also because I want you, as a business owner or entrepreneur to understand how much you control what is to be or not to be. Especially when it comes to your own peace of mind.
For example, when your business takes off enough to hire someone (or multiple someones) to help. Hiring and firing can be total drudgery. Or not. And you (and your System) have a lot to do with that.
Yesterday (in the timeframe of this website) I talked to you about lists.
And here’s a list for you if you’re a business owner who hires people. Or if you think you’ll be hiring people in the future. This is a list for how to hire them. And how you’ll proceed once they’re onboard. Are you ready? Here goes…
For new hires:
- Determine position roles and responsibilities differently for each new hire. Because people are not all the same.
- Find out how your new hire works, and then determine how to let them know what you expect.
- You know your business better than anyone. So be sure your new hire can follow you around for the best training.
- You’re all adults. So use whatever language you prefer. After all, showing emotions is just keepin’ it real.
- If your new hire doesn’t cut it within 90 days, you gotta let ’em go and get someone else. You gave ’em every chance.
OK, there you go. Awesome. Right? And the list is yours to use as you see fit.
It’s your business. So, I’m trusting you to use the list wisely. Trust your knowledge and expertise to avoid mutiny. Because that could happen with this list.
OK, here’s the thing. I made up that list with a hint of tongue-in-cheek and large dose of sarcasm. And I’d say somewhere around 100% of the business owners, who’ve made that a to-do list, no longer own those businesses. And that assumption is based on working with scores of clients for a long, long time.
But if you choose to use that list, let me know how it goes.
Or if you’ve been using that approach to hiring and firing, let me know how it works for you. Because, if it DOES work, you’d be the first I’ve heard of with a success report using that method.
If you’d like a better way of knowing whether potential pitfalls of a list like that are “to be or not to be,” consider an investment in the RondaReady System. When you apply yourself, and plug your business into the System, you won’t end up paying for it. Your increased sales and profits will.
But don’t get the System if you’re not Ready to do the work. Instead, get my free emails and find out more about how much I wanna help you succeed. The link is below.
Stay Ready,
