| Business › Don't Hire Anybody! if you are just starting a new business by nemdy(op): 11:44am On Feb 21, 2016*. Modified: 12:58pm On Feb 21, 2016 |
If you have a new business, it's pretty common to start thinking about hiring someone to help with the seemingly endless tasks you are presented with. Don't. Do NOT do it. Eventually, you will have to hire people, but try to put it off as long as possible. While you might think there is an element of sadism involved on my part there are reasons... First, you need to be able to present someone with a clearly delineated job. That's very hard to do in the beginning. In a start-up, many days end in a blur. But patterns eventually emerge in your work wherein you could explain a list of items to another person; you have the beginning of a job for someone. It takes some time. Second, by doing things yourself in the beginning you gain a massive amount of knowledge. That helps in the operation of any business and it also gives you valuable empathy for the person you'll eventually have doing those tasks for the business. Third, hiring is: easy in, hard out. Searching for your first "employee" is kind of exhilarating. You meet lots of eager people ready to make a difference. Then you pick someone, but sometimes you blow it and pick the wrong person. If hiring is fun, firing is the opposite. Firing people is a major buzz killer, The longer you wait, the b etter delineated the job will be, and the greater the chance for success in hiring. Fourth, hiring people costs money. Unless you have been massively funded or were born into big money, you'll find cash has a quick evaporation rate. Employees are helpful, but they are also expensive. Be sure you are absolutely read more at. http://www.nnamdinemdy.com/2016/02/dont-hire-anybody.html?m=0#links |
| Career › Success Is Normally Found In A Pile Of Mistakes.. by nemdy(op): 12:38am On Feb 20, 2016 |
We usually see success when it's been polished up a little like a diamond. It's pretty, and everyone wants it. That's where the problem comes for those seeking success. Often been deluded by appearances that success starts out looking like the finished product. Success is messy. You'll bump into things; make mistakes that'll have you cringing with embarrassment at times. You'll waste time on dumb ideas, get distracted, and waste more time. But, that's all part of the journey. Eventually you'll be getting better at what you are doing. You'll look in your pile of mistakes and see some flecks of gold, or diamonds. You'll figure how you got them, and start improving the way you work. In time, you'll have a great understanding of what you are doing, and progress will come much easier. You can improve the process by doing plenty of studying before hand, you'll probably still screw up because we all, are human. Good luck! More of these at www.nnamdinemdy.com |
