Hiring for Your "Why" and Not Just the Job

When you hire for your "why" you end up getting an employee who is fired up to help you with your mission. When you hire for the job you get someone who is there for a paycheck. Which type of employee would you prefer?

Gross Profit vs Net Profit

Do you know the difference between your gross profit and your net profit? Keep in mind, Sales – COGs – Expenses = Net Profit. Your Gross Profit is before your expenses. Make sure you keep this in mind before you start counting the money you've "made". Net profit is the true measure of how successful you are.

Understanding the Business Owner Experience in Your Small Business

When I speak to business owners I have them walk me through their business through their eyes. Here is where I get to see what they see from people, to processes to their numbers. Do they see things through rose-colored glasses or do they see things as they truly are? If you invited someone into your business, what would they find? Let's discuss why this is important for you to learn how to do this. Can You Look at Your Business Objectively?

Understanding the Customer Experience in Your Small Business

One of the most important things you can do in your business is to view it through the eyes of your customer or client. Let's face it, we are way to close emotionally and will often make excuses for what we see. Today I want to challenge you to take off your business owner hat and "walk" your business through your customer's eyes. What do they see? More importantly, what do they feel?
