In this video, we'll walk you through a structured three-step process for terminating an employee while maintaining professionalism and minimizing legal risks. Whether you're a business owner, manager, or HR professional, these steps will help you navigate the difficult task of employee termination with confidence and fairness.
Step 1: Preparation and Documentation
* Explore the essential steps you need to take before initiating the termination process. This includes gathering necessary documentation, assessing the reasons for termination, and ensuring you comply with relevant laws and company policies.
Step 2: The Termination Meeting

Navigating the Employee Termination Process: Three-Step to fire an employee| IT STARTS NOW

Starting Over After 40: Embracing Change and Moving Forward In this episode, we'll explore how to make a fresh start in life after reaching the age of 40. Whether you're dealing with a midlife crisis, a major career change, or a personal loss, starting over can be intimidating, but it's never too late to reinvent yourself and find a new purpose. Here are three tips to help you get started: 1. Acknowledge where you are and accept it: Starting over means recognizing your current situation and letting go of the past. It's important to acknowledge your feelings and understand that it's okay to feel lost or unsure. Once you accept where you are, you can begin to make plans for the future. 2. Read books and go to seminars: Learning from others who have gone through similar experiences can be incredibly helpful when starting over. Reading books on self-improvement, attending seminars, and seeking out mentors or support groups can provide valuable insights and guidance. 3. Avoid getting into a rut: When starting over, it's easy to fall into old habits and routines. To avoid getting stuck in a rut, try new things, take on challenges, and embrace change. Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone can help you discover new passions and opportunities. Join Stanley and ISN family for a motivating and insightful conversation on how to make the most of starting over after 40.

Silicon Valley Bank What Happened? | ISN

Welcome back to  @ITSTARTSNOW  
On this episode we talk about VCs’ and Investors.   VC (venture capital) is a form of financing provided by investors to startup companies and small businesses with high growth potential. Venture capital firms invest in these companies in exchange for an ownership stake, usually in the form of equity shares. The goal of venture capital is to help these companies grow and become profitable, and to ultimately earn a return on their investment. Investors, on the other hand, are individuals or organizations that invest money in various assets or securities, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, and more. Investors can range from small individual investors to large institutional investors such as pension funds and endowments. When looking for venture capital or investors, there are several things to consider: Investment strategy: It's important to understand the investment strategy of the VC or investor. Some focus on specific industries or stages of business development, while others have a broader investment mandate. Track record: Look at the track record of the VC or investor. Have they successfully invested in similar companies or industries in the past? Do they have a history of generating strong returns for their investors? Network and resources: Consider the VC or investor's network and resources. Can they help your business grow by providing access to key contacts, expertise, and resources? Fit and alignment: It's important to find a VC or investor that aligns with your business goals and values. Look for someone who is a good fit with your team and can provide the support you need to achieve your business objectives. Terms and conditions: Finally, be sure to carefully review the terms and conditions of any investment offer. Make sure you fully understand the terms and are comfortable with the investment structure and potential risks involved.  Keenan touch on all these items and much more. #venturecapital #startups #investing #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness #investors #investmentstrategy #businessgrowth #networking #businessgoals #termsandconditions #financialplanning #successfultips #keyfactors #financialadvice #funding #capitalinvestment #businessdevelopment #angelinvestors #seedfunding #growthfunding #startupfunding #earlystageinvesting
