In case you are new to the program (here’s part one and two), this series is typically inspired by the media at large and their backwards assessments of how we should do our work life. Today’s topic? Millennials. Are they lazy or are they just smart enough to see the writing on the wall? As seems to be the case, there is nothing wrong with the corporate structure, how we educate the younger generations, etc. It’s young people. Young people just suck.

Why Set Goals
As we creep into the month of February, the local is gym is a little emptier, McDonalds a little more frequented and many of our New Years resolutions are already a distant memory. Because so many goals are left unfulfilled. Many question the necessity for setting goals. One thing that I have noticed in my coaching work with business owners is that when business owners set goals and get excited about them, they often have great things happen in their business.

What keeps alcoholics off booze and drug addicts off drugs? Would you believe that it’s the same thing that allows you to create real change in your organization?

I have written several posts on the subject of vision , I have a workshop that I do around vision and talk about it with business owners till I am blue in face. Why? Because, when people realize that they are apart of something bigger than themselves, it changes how we act. The problem is, business owners have a hard time with a setting
The Team That Plans Together, Wins Together
When I was in the corporate world, everyone looked to get together as much as possible. It was meeting after meeting after meeting. Very few of these meetings were very effective. They were mostly used to give people things to do. In a small business setting, you don’t have the resources or the bandwidth to have wasteful meetings. One tool that small business owners can use, that is useful and effective, is the team retreat. These retreats can be annual and/or quarterly and can be used to accomplish a number of different things from goal setting to connecting.
