Hiring and Keeping Employees

Aaron: Welcome to the show… Tell us a little bit about yourself and your business. Let’s start with you Wendy!

Terry: One of the things we want to talk about today is hiring and maintaining good employees. I say in all my classes that the day you hire your first employee, your life changes forever. Talk about your early hiring experiences.

Aaron: How has Covid affected your ability to hire and maintain staff? Did you yourselves have shutdowns or other Covid challenges along the way?

Terry: How do you go about training your employees, whether it be operating a machine or dealing with customers?

Aaron: Let’s talk about keeping employees happy at work. What are your thoughts on this?

Terry: Aaron tells me you both also have family, including your kids working with you. Talk to us about the unique challenges that come with that and how you have overcome those?

Aaron: Let’s talk about your businesses in general. As women business owners, what have been some of the biggest surprises, either good or challenging?

Terry: Let’s dust off the crystal ball. What do you see for your business in the coming year 2022?

Aaron: How about some advice for business owners for the coming year?

5 Fundamentals of Success

From Aaron Montgomery – Our Success Group

1. Take 100% Responsibility for ALL of your results – It’s easy to blame, complain and make excuses, but real success comes from empowering yourself to own all of your results.
2. Find your Purpose – We all have a certain greatness zone of something we were meant to do. If we all were able to find that and just focus on living that the world will be a better place!
3. Decide What You Desire – If you can not clearly share what your goals are you will never know where you are headed. Set your roadmap by determining how much and by when and then share those goals with anyone who will listen.
4. Take Productive Actions – Planning, prepping, commiserating, sharing, and getting ready is great, but the sooner you get to action the faster you will find success. For example, there were some great nuggets and ideas today. Are you going to just put them on the shelf or are you going to take action on those ideas?
5. Surround Yourself with Success – You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Are they improving your life and lifting you up or are they toxic and negative? It’s your job to spend as little time as possible with toxic people and build relationships with those that will lift you up.
