Suggest You - A Secret Of Business Growth - Pick Passionate External People
So now you are convinced, you want to quit your job and work from home in your own home business.Smart move. As J. Paul Getty observed, "You must be in business for yourself, you'll never get rich working for someone else." And he would know. His father, George F. Getty thrust Paul into running George F. Getty, Inc. before he was even 20.Paul was very close to his elderly father and got very good at managing his father's company very quickly. Under Paul's supervision the company expanded rapidly, and before too long he was making his Dad millions. It was here that J. Paul Getty made his famous observation.It didn't take long though for Paul to go out on his own, and the story of J. Paul Getty was written.But you are here n
My advice to you is to first examine the consultants you currently engage. Are they working for you? Or against you. There’s no in between.
The first test is are they passionate about what they do? Or are they just going through the motions?
Choose to work with people, both internally and externally that LOVE doing what they do. That way you’ll know that they are good.
If you hire anyone that’s passion is away from what they are doing for your business – their mind will be elsewhere – and their results will suffer.
Let me give you an example.
Which one of these 2 Tax Accountants would you hire? You ask them both this question.
“Where will you be in 5 years time?”
The first one answers. “I’ll be living on my farm, my accounting practice will be set up and I’ll be earning a passive income, so I can spend time with my family and working on my golf handicap”
The second one answers. “My practice and I
The Client: New Deal Playing Card Company “Making the best of the hand you are dealt.”Several months ago I took a phone call from an executive at The New Deal Playing Card Company. Her husband had just invented, patented and launched a unique line of ergonomically correct playing cards designed to fit the natural curvature of the hand. The woman had come across a magazine article about another client of mine whose new product was receiving some widespread media exposure. “Can you do the same for us?” she inquired. We did and to our delight the campaign was even more successful than the other campaign she had initially inquired about.We researched and implemented a multi-faceted campaign of publicity and media exposure that quickly spre
Excellent song. I love it.
And you know what… some business owners love the notion of ‘doing it my way’ so much that they ‘hold’ onto every aspect of their business – so much so that they don’t allow people to help them to grow.
They latterly stop their staff from helping them.
They stop their ‘accountant’ from helping them
And they stop any outside expert from helping them…
There may be all sorts of reasons for this behaviour…
They may be too proud to ask for help.
They may be too scared to ask for help (as it can make you feel quite vulnerable).
They may think it’ll cost too much to get help (well if you think education costs too much – you should try ignorance).
Or they may think that they don’t have time to look for help… don’t trust anyone to help them, or even worse, they may think they don’t need help.
If you want to grow your business you have to make sure that all your people are ‘on your side’. You simply can’t afford a staff member, or an external consultant that is wayward – or not fully committed.
Because when they are passionate, focus and committed to you and your business, growing becomes easy because you can trust your people.
Why? Because they love doing what they do.
Business owners that have had excellent growth, and made extraordinary money from business will be the first to tell you that you need to surround yourself with great people to grow.
It’s a universal law.
And there are skills that you may need to learn, and/or develop to attract, and keep great people.
Most unsuccessful business owners blame their staff for poor business performance.
Yet who hired the staff?
Ultimately the business owner is responsible.
Great business owners take the responsibility and so train themselves on how to attract and pick great people.
As you start out in business, you can pretty much handle most of the work yourself. Then as the business grows you try and keep your finger in every ‘pie’… then at some point – your business gets to a point – where you can’t possibly do everything… you either have to keep your business small, or grow.
Yet growing may means that you’ve got to get people to help. Both internally (in terms of staff) and externally (in terms of consultants)
And that can be quite scary.
You see in business we become very good at making things or providing the service… yet we never really learn how to ‘pick’ people, how to train them and how to motivate them… so employing people or getting consultants can be a worry.
Yet the best business owners make it a passion of theirs to develop their people and leadership skills.
They actively learn how to pick, train and motivate people to run their business.
Because one of the true secrets of growing any business – is to grow it with the help of great people.
Top business owners know this.
They make it a passion to understand, and work with their people to help them grow their business.
They have these ‘great’ people offer advice and opinions – yet at the end of the day it’s the business owner that makes the decision.
In this article, the point to learn is that as well as employing great staff to work in their business – the best business owners also surround themselves with the best people they can find externally to help them grow their business.
Who are external people? Consultants and specialists.
They spend good money, and a lot of time with excellent accountants, solicitors and business growth specialists to ensure they keep on track and focused.
That way their progress is direct, effective and faster and safer.
You see they know that by paying a specialist – they’ll get specialist results. Because a great specialist will make you much, much more money than you’ll ever pay them.
You’ll know what I mean if you’ve ever worked with a gun consultant or specialist. They’ll be your favourite investment – because their advice will pay off many many times over.

Gas powered or charged? Cordless or corded? Makita or Milwaukee? What is the real difference between them, and do you really need to know? Of course you need to know. Besides the fact that certain power tools are better for certain projects, it’s your money that’s being spent on these items. With that said, here are a few tips to picking the right power tools, either for the project or job at hand or for your collection.First things first, you need to figure out how much you will be using a particular power tool. If you’re planning on building a house, you’ll probably be using an electric saw or power drill a bit more than if you’re building a small shed. In this case, it would be a good idea to invest a bit more of your hard earned money

Every business has a Brand whether they realize it or not. Having a brand is an unavoidable consequence of being in business. A positive Brand creates Brand Loyalty. If properly managed, Brand Loyalty is a powerful source of sustained profitability. However, very few business leaders understand how to sustain Brand Loyalty in their customers. They direct their attention to the "appearance" of the brand- the marketing and advertising aspects of brand identification. They strive for a unique, recognizable "look" such as McDonald's arches or Nike's swoosh. The emphasis is on appearance of the Brand, not what the brand looks like in action.However, neither advertising, nor appearance, ever created one moment of Brand Loyalty. The primary factor th

Not all security camera Digital Video Recorders, or DVRs, are created equal. Remember this as you look for security camera DVRs for your business. There are great DVRs, good DVRs, and DVRs so terrible you cannot tell what you're looking at.DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder. It is faster and easier to manage than non-digital and analog systems. Moreover, it provides instant access to recorded or live video. You need not worry about storage, too, because the bulk of video that can be stored on a single disc tremendously outweighs that stored on tape. In fact, a single disc is the equivalent of over 30 VCR tapes. What this means is that you get to economize on space use and costs. The bigger your office space and thus, the more cameras you u

I don’t know about you, but I’d be choosing the last one. The one that loves doing what I’m paying him to do.
Work with competent passionate people that are more motivated to achieve your goal than you are – that way you know you’ll be on track…. Because if they love what they do – they’ll keep ahead of their game – and keep you ahead of yours.
Pick and work with passionate external people that love doing what you’re paying them to do.
