Over the last couple years I have been amazed by all the LinkedIn and social media “experts” that seem to be everywhere. I did a Google search on “social media expert” and got 1,360,000 results. With “LinkedIn expert” it resulted in 34,700 results. Wow.

I had a stimulating chat with a fellow this morning who is probably one of the brightest guys I have ever met in our PRO Alliances group in Cedarburg. He is an expert in branding and the “start-up” guy when it comes to launching a business. His name is Mike Farley with JacksonSpencer.

Last time I identified the 3 most common issues with your Team. I mentioned the bad employee fit, the culture and the all too common “technician mode”. Here are some ideas to change those issues.

Your employees cause stress for many reasons, but most are associated with three items.

1. You have a bad fit for the job position.

Most entrepreneurs understand that in order to succeed, you need to leverage the talents of others. If you don’t, then you probably work for yourself and have a “job”. In case you don’t know, the word “job”, to me, means “just over broke”.

I have spent the last few weeks talking about the aspects and importance of time management. I’m wondering if anyone has actually taken any action towards making any improvements.

Management of time is a very simple concept, however, most people never seem to master it.

If you don’t control your time, it will control you.

For an executive, in just about any business, there never seems to be enough time. If there are major projects that need to be completed then you spend so much time at work your family and personal life begin to crumble.
