TALK SHOW EPISODE NOTESThis is the series, SELF-EMPLOYMENT ECSTASY™! I am ecstatic about this series as self-employment has been one of the most enjoyable aspects of my professional life. I aspired to be self-employed from the time I was a child. I shared some of my family role models in prior shows (ancestors that were real estate investors, entrepreneurs, self-employed attorneys, etc.). I love the art of creating something from nothing whether it is a short story, a lawn mowing business, a global billion dollar firm or a single person service. It is all fascinating!
This series is designed for the statistically rare, yet often overlooked, self-employed individual who marches to their own drummer and loves it! This is not a series for people who want to consider future self-employment (aspiring) and how to become self-employed. This is a series for existing self-employment individuals. A very small number of people are self-employed ‘full-time’ (not the best term but it does convey the intended meaning). Due to the higher levels of happiness for self-employed individuals, this series in entitled, SELF-EMPLOYMENT ECSTASY™! This episode is, “My Employees Think I Am Rich. Help!” In this show we discuss A Stone* of Solutions™ including: 1) You are. 2) 'Rich' is relative. 3) Employees (or contractors) are NOT responsible for the overall firm. 4) Employers are responsible for maximizing staff engagement and retention. 5) The per capita money income in the US is $28,051 USD. - http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html 6) Your 'problems' are NOT your employee's 'problems'. 7) Having the knowledge and ability to open a business is rare. 8) Having the cash, credit or access to capital to start a business is not an 'average' experience. 9) How the sausage is made is not the concern of the staff member (only that it is made). 10) It is not fair for you to expect staff members to view issues like you do. 11) Use your leadership skills to maximize the revenue and profitability of your firm. 12) Hold yourself accountable for the quality of the workplace environment. 13) It may seem like magic to some to make a business out of nothing. 14) Accept your good fortune. Have fun in your firm. It is a positive issue to be viewed as powerful and prosperous (even if you don't feel that way). Take part in this show to explore this topic! *A stone is unit of measure equaling 14 pounds (so we have 14 elements in our one stone of solutions!). |
