80% of sales and growth success is mental… what you think and feel. Successful people believe in what they are doing and what they can achieve. A positive attitude, the ability to address fears, to step out of self-limiting beliefs and push past the comfort zone are all absolutely necessary as we are face unheard of levels of competition, harder-to-find, slower-to-decide customers and never ending marketplace change with little predictability and control. Deny, defend and deflect are not in your behavioural vocabulary. Stepping up, taking ownership, and sidelining mediocrity are the norm. If we want to grow our businesses we must abandon the fixed mindset and be open to see challenges as opportunities to learn and experience, rather than obstacles that can keep us stuck. Focus is on the process, the journey of taking imperfect action, not focusing on the results derived from perfection. And most of all…. being comfortable with the uncomfortable. Yes, developing a mindset for growth, accountability , and success, is about being open and agile to the possibilities.
Do the employees in your business come and go like a revolving door? Are you having problems finding and keeping good staff? Have you made the mistake of hiring family only to feel taken advantage of? Have you tried being friends with your employees only to feel totally betrayed? Are you worried or underestimating the hiring and firing mistakes you might be making that are leaving you and your business legally vulnerable? A new survey recently released, states that 52% of business owners ranked recruiting and hiring as their biggest challenge. Why? Because 50% of all hires do not work out. Labour, retention levels, training and costly hiring and firing mistakes are becoming one of the biggest costs a company is going to incur over the next decade. Gone are the days when people spent years working for one employer. The cost and frustration is staggering to the small business owner, let alone the incalculable expense of lost customers due to poor service levels. The average employee only stays at a job 2.6 years, and that is if you are lucky. There is no magic ball, but having tools to assist you in improving your hiring, onboarding, and retention rates, can help reduce your these overwhelming costs and provide some calm in your world. It is also extremely important that you understand the foundational basics of hiring and firing and follow simple guidelines to help protect you from making any crucial errors to lessen your legal exposure. As the boss of your own business, the challenges you face are abundant. Minimize the time, frustration and cost of employee hiring and firing by developing your personal potential and avoiding the pitfalls.
