One of the major sources of sleep-loss is the hiring and training of top staff. As a matter of fact that ranks #2 in the list of stressors that small business owners face. I don’t need to tell you that hiring the wrong person burns up an enormous amount of time, energy and dollars. So let’s distill down some very easy things that you can implement immediately.

1. Can this person actually do the job?

In addition to having a strong resume and technical background, attitude is very important. If someone displays flexibility, willingness to learn new skill sets, and is a good team member, that is invaluable. Having talented employees can make or break your company

It is so easy to hire the wrong person. Remember when a candidate is being interviewed their job is to make themselves look amazing. You, the employer may also be in a weakened position because you need someone yesterday not tomorrow. These two catalysts may make for a poor hiring choice. To prevent hiring the wrong person I always advise my clients to create an “ideal employee”. What characteristics are you looking for? Do you want a male or female? Age preference? What specific skill-sets are you looking for? What type of personality are you looking for? Be as specific as possible. The more you can detail for yourself the ideal, the less of a chance you will be sidetracked into hiring the wrong person who cannot do the job

2.   Once hired, will this person actually do the job?

New business is the life-blood of your business. If you fail to get a steady stream of QUALITY buyers your business will suffer. The following will give you insight why you are not getting your fair share and what to do about it:

1. Are You Doing Social Media or are you making money from social media? There is a huge difference between the two. Doing social media means that you are running ads and putting up posts on Facebook, Instagram etc. Making money from social media means you are running ads and putting up posts that make you money.

What to do now:
a. Evaluate how much money you have spent on ads vs how much money you have made. You will quickly know if you are doing social media or profiting from it.

b. Evaluate how much time you are spending vs. the return of dollars received. This will tell you how much you are making per hour so you can determine if it worth your time.

c. If you have hired someone to do your social media then it is even more important to evaluate your return on investment because your investment after expenses may be giving you a negative return.

d. If you are not getting a return click this button

and set up a complimentary 1 on 1 strategy session and I will tell you what you need to change.

2. Do You Understand Strategic-Based Marketing Principles? Marketing (getting your phone to ring) should be set up as campaigns that have a beginning, middle, end and most importantly an objective. Marketing should NOT be doing this and doing that with the hopes that it will attract people.

What to do now:
a. Learn about the Buying Funnel

b. Learn how to use the Heuristic Marketing Equation

c. Learn how to create marketing for an ideal customer or client-remember I used the word quality new business in the opening line of this newsletter? The idea of marketing should be to get the best buyers to your clinic not just any old buyer. Knowing how to market to your target audience will do that for you.

d. Learn how to create meaningful follow-up campaigns

e. Learn how to create a Unique Value Proposition

f. Learn how to keep accurate statistics so you can measure your results

3. Poor Systems– Once a quality lead calls and comes to business if you have poor systems your business will suffer. It is imperative that everything in your operation is systematized and monetized for maximum ease of operation, stability, and financial growth.

What to do now:
a. Evaluate each system in your operation and make sure that it is running efficiently

b. If you do not have systems now is a great time to start creating them

c. Make sure that you are constantly training your staff so they utilize the systems to their maximum

If you do not have systems or understand strategic-based marketing click this button

Do you get so close to your goal and then poof, you fall short? Do you have a roller coaster type of business? If so you are not alone, self-sabotage is rampant. One of the key over-looked areas is how you run your brain. Yes, you read that correctly, how you run your brain.

Usually, when we fall short, fear, doubt, or some other negative thought has become our dominant thought. Here is an excerpt from Conversations with God by Neale Walsch that will put it in perspective for you.

     Harnessing your thoughts, exercising control over them, is not as difficult as it might seem. (Neither for that matter is climbing Mt. Everest.) It is all a matter of discipline. It is a question of intent. The first step is learning to monitor your thoughts; to think about what you are thinking about.  When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts-thoughts that negate your highest idea about a thing—think again! I want you to do this literally. If you think that you are in a doldrum, in a pickle, and no good can come out of this, think again. If you think the world is a bad place, filled with negative events, think again. If you think your life is falling a part and looks like you will never get it back together again, think again. You can train yourself to do this. (Look how well you’ve trained yourself not to do it!)

Your head-space is vitally important to your success. 1% of the population knows how to run their brains effectively. It is interesting to note that 1% of the population has controlled 99% of all of the wealth of the world since the beginning of time. How’s that for a coincidence?

Here are some actions steps that you can deploy that will help you create better thoughts:

1. Start doing affirmations.  It is important to feed your mind positive thoughts. Affirmations are a sure way to do that. Affirmations are positive statements that you say OUT LOUD and PROUD. They should be in the “I am” format. For example: I am a great coach. I am a great husband. I attract positive things in my life.  You should say your affirmations at least two times per day and anytime you have negative self-talk.
2. Get a journal and start writing. Put pen to paper and just write for three pages each day. Write about your fears. Write about your successes. Write about anything that bubbles up. It will be your cheapest form of therapy that you never pay for.

Implement those two action steps and do them religiously for 45 days and see the shift that occurs.

This is what a client had to say about affirmations:

Dear Paul:

Today and Monday I was very frustrated at work with: – speed of change – access to people – doing things my way vs their way And… That has been making me: – paranoid – angry – frustrated – worried it is not going to go well But this time (unlike the last 8 years) I kept thinking of your advice: – they’re the boss – don’t push – don’t be antsy – affirmations ( every hour) – be positive – this is not a past job – control emotions.

Just talked to my boss and he is cool with how things are going. So doing “Paul’isms” has saved me from messing this whole thing up 11 different ways. Pretty much everything I would have done would have pissed these people off.

You Are Great!
Peter

Creative Coaching, LLC, the first professional business coaching company to offer no long-term contracts has been successfully coaching clients just like you for the past fourteen years. We have been trailblazers in the industry helping to create millionaires and offering a money back guarantee. Our job is three-fold:

1. We help our clients earn more money
2. We help our clients save money
3. We help our clients money earn them more money (working smarter not harder)

We do this by teaching our clients how to think differently. By thinking differently they take different and better action steps and create a better business and earn more money. Isn’t it time that you enjoyed that too?  If you still feel that you are struggling, you will be thrilled to know that Dr. Paul S. Inselman, CEO of Creativecoachingllc.net  has formulated a specific step by step process that will help you to become a more powerful business leader. Our client’s income has grown on average 165% since 2008. In 2016 alone they were up on average a whopping 44%! In all the years that I have been coaching, I haven’t seen one CEO that executed the steps above and that utilized our procedures that failed to be a better and more powerful leader.

In a super high achievers’ world, RESULTS ARE ALL THAT MATTER! You have built a great, successful business. You have given your family everything. Still something is missing. Think of life like a wheel with five spokes: Health, money, business, personal relationships, and spirituality. If one or more of those spokes become weakened or broken, the whole wheel suffers. This is why many successful business owners are just not happy or totally fulfilled.

Now is the time to transform your life so your entire life is as solid as your business. Now is the time to willingly transform instead of being force to transform because of ill health, divorce or any other broken spoke on the wheel of life.

Since you are a take charge person who exudes success, you probably are wondering why you haven’t been able to tackle these issues on your own. Guess what? You are not alone. For fourteen years we have been transforming high achievers just like you and preventing them from drowning in their problems. We can help you too

We use a three pronged approach with our clients:

1. We deploy step by step strategies that transform lives-we don’t just say do this we show you how
2. We give world-class support-nobody is accessible as we are NOBODY!
3. We transform mind-sets-this is so overlooked and so important. If you can see it you can ahieve it. We will teach you the strategies so you can see your amazing life before it happens.

Here are some ideas to think about:

1. What is my life like right now?
2. What do I want my life to be?
3. What has or is stopping me from creating that life?

Our CEO’s are enjoying another terrific and stress-free year in business. Isn’t it time that you enjoyed that too?  If you still feel that you are struggling, you will be thrilled to know that Dr. Paul S. Inselman, CEO of Creativecoachingllc.net  has formulated a specific step by step process that will help you transform your present life to the awesome life that you want to have.

What do you really want out of your life and business? Do you have a clear vision? Do you know how to create the action steps to achieve that vision? Are you one day away from quitting your day job and launching your own fantastic business? Are you one day away from doing two million dollars in sales?

At Creative Coaching, we understand that each client is unique and has different needs, wants and desires. What we also have discovered in our fourteen years of working with clients just like you is that most people either really don’t truly know what they want; or, they know what they want but they don’t know how to create the action steps to get there.

Our clients become millionaires and carve out the most perfect lives for themselves because we help them create the crystal clear vision and the specific action steps that will get them there.

So what are you just one day away from achieving? If you would like some help in discovering just how easy and fun it can be, click here for a free strategy session.

Deciding to hire a business coach is a very personal decision; and one that should not be taken lightly! Coaching will help you grow faster, easier, and with fewer mistakes than you can typically achieve on your own.

These are the specific traits that you should look for when hiring a business coach:

1. You must resonate with the coach-this is extremely important. Just because your trusted friend did great with this coach is great. However, if you do not resonate with the coach DO NOT HIRE the person.
2. Does the coach seem interested in only your money? If so RUN DON’T WALK the other way. It is ok if your coach earns a great living. However, the client’s best interest must always be put ahead of the coach’s interests. If you get the feeling it is not like that DO NOT HIRE that coach.
3. Has the coach done what you want to do? It is important to work with a coach that has been in the trenches. Book learning is great, but it is far different from actually getting your hands dirty. If your coach does not have the practical experience DO NOT HIRE that coach.
4. Don’t Sign a Long-Term contract. A long-term contract only helps the coach and not the client. We are very proud of the fact that we are the first coaching company that we know of that does not force its clients to sign a long-term contract. If you have to sign a one to multi-year contract, we recommend DO NOT HIRE that coach.
5. How Quickly will your calls, emails, and texts be returned? Remember once you sign a contract the company owns you. Which means you are obligated to pay them even if the service isn’t too great. We are proud that all forms of communication in our company are answered by the end of the business day. However, our response time is usually under one hour, even on holidays and weekends.
6. What is your coach’s track record? This is a very important question to ask. How much on average did her clients grow while being coached? A good ROI in our opinion would be 10%. You can’t earn 10% in the bank and you would be hard-pressed to earn that in the stock market consistently. We are very proud that our client’s income grew on average 44% in 2016 and 165% since 2008.
7. Never Feel Pressured. If your coach tells you that you will fail miserably or get cancer of the ear lobes if you don’t coach then DO NOT HIRE that coach. You should never feel pressured nor have scare tactics used on you.

Using the traits above when choosing a good business coach will lead to increased profits, fewer mistakes and more fun in business.

We have been trailblazers in the industry being the first company to offer no long-term contracts and a money back guarantee.

Do you want financial freedom? Do you want to be able to pay your bills on time, go on a vacation and in short be able to give your family anything and everything that they need and want? If it sounds like a fairy tale to you then you do not understand that your future can be EXTREMELY Bright when you know and use these basic strategies:

1. In Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, he talked of the four quadrants. E for employee. B for business owner. S for self-employed. I for investment. Since you are a small business owner how much of your money are you investing? As Kiyosaki explains in his book investing (using your money to make you money while you sleep) is your key to economic freedom. One of the very first things that we do with all of our clients is to establish their financial infrastructure. That infrastructure includes creating an emergency fund; evaluating that they have adequate insurance coverage; automating investments even when they “don’t have any money to invest”. Your first action step is to change the way you look at money and create financial infrastructure. If you are unable to do this on your own, ask a friend, colleague, or at the end of this blog you can sign up for a complimentary strategy session with me.
2. 1% of the population has controlled 99% of all of the wealth of the world since the beginning of time. Wealth is defined as health, wealth, beauty, and opportunity. Why do you think that is so? Interestingly if you were to redistribute the wealth and give it back to the 99%, in a very short period of time the 1% would have it again. Let me say it another way. If Bill Gates, or Michael Jordan went bankrupt tomorrow, do you think they would become extremely wealthy again? Of course they would. But why? 1 Percenters think and act differently than 99 percenters. Since they think and act differently, guess what they get different results than 99 percenters. The second opportunity that we create for our clients is we get them to think like 1 percenters. Once they know how to use the tools to change their thought process they get amazingly different results. Our clients are up 49% this year to date and they are up 165% since 2008. Your second action step is to learn the skill-sets and tools that are going to have you think and thus act like a 1 Percenter. Tony Robbins book, Unlimited Power is a great read and a good place to start. Along with the classic Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
3. You must understand that SUCCESS COMES FROM YOU NOT TO YOU. This hugely overlooked fact of point is where the rubber meets the road. When you understand that you, your vibration, and your action steps are going to bring success to you; causes you to become innovative and think outside the box. It also forces you to abandon being a victim. I agree it is much easier to blame the government, or the insurance companies or any other bogeyman for holding you down. However if you want to have more joy out of life and better financial results understand that YOU and YOU alone control your outcomes. All of our clients are taught amazing tools that they wish they had when they were growing up that helps shape their future outcomes. As a matter of fact, the majority of our clients start teaching their young kids and grandkids these valuable life lessons. Imagine the results, self-esteem and self-awareness that the upcoming generations will have! The key is to amass usable tools and to learn how to use them effectively. Your last action step to implement from this blog is the do a self-inspection and determine where your weaker areas are holding you back. is it a confidence problem? Is it a skill-set problem. Start analyzing where the problems are and the fix becomes easy.

The key to getting good results from a good idea is to implement the idea. The problem with most blogs (mine included) is that there is a ton of great information but it is difficult to implement all of the ideas because of the volume. I have just solved the problem. Over the next few weeks I am going to give you a bazillion money-saving and money-making great ideas. Only a few will be given in each blog which will allow you to easily implement the ideas. Each week make it a habit to implement the ideas and when completed you could be saving in excess of $20,000 per year!

1. Get reimbursed for ATM fees. Ask and you will most likely receive. Most online banks will reimburse you for fees incurred when you use another banks ATM machine. Some brick and mortar banks will do the same. Call the bank and request a refund. At best they will say yes and at worst they will say no. If they say yes you can save an average of $4.00 per transaction.
2. Don’t upgrade your cell phone so fast. Most cell phone companies will allow you to pay off your phone in 24-30 months. After that time frame you own the phone free and clear. If you keep the phone and don’t upgrade you will save on average $45.00 per month.
3. Don’t buy multiple memberships if you live in the same household. Amazon prime and Netflix allows the sharing of their memberships between two adults and up to four kids. This can save you $50.00 per year for Amazon prime and $48.00 per year for Netflix.
4. Stop doing your own taxes. Hire and use a CPA to do your taxes. One audit or one dis-allowance will more than pay for his or her services. Depending on the amount of dis-allowance or penalty can cause your saving to be HUGE!
5. Use ceiling fans. Your air conditioner is the most expensive electric appliance that you have in your home. As a matter of fact depending on where you live you could be spending about fifty cents per hour to run your AC. A ceiling fan uses about a penny an hour. In the summer-time run the fan counter-clockwise to push the cold air down. In the winter time reverse the direction to clockwise to move the cold air up where it will mix with the hot air (heat rises) already there. This can save you about $8.00 per day.

Start implementing these bite-sized pieces and start saving money!

A great support staff is made not born. Once you decide that YOU are ready to have the best staff on the planet earth, adopt these suggestions and watch how easy it can be.

1. Be Slow to hire and quick to fire-most small business owners get this wrong and do it backwards. They hire quickly because they need someone. That particular hire does not do well and shows no signs of improving. Instead of cutting your losses; most small business owners will wish, hope and pray that the hire magically turns around. After seven months of frustration the employee is finally let go. The lesson: Be Slow to hire and quick to fire.
2. Failure to know the characteristics that you are looking to hire-If you don’t know the specific traits that you are looking how can you plan the perfect hire? Do you want a great people person? An analytical person? How about an energizer bunny? You see it is imperative to know the specific traits that you are looking for. Think of it like dating. When you dated didn’t you have a specific hair color, personality, body type, and educational status in mind. Think of hiring like dating. Take the time to write down the specific characteristics that you are looking for. Doing this exercise will greatly enhance your odds of finding that perfect person. The lesson: know the characteristics that you are looking to hire.
3. Give expectation and Train, Train, and Train- If you fail to tell your new hire exactly what is expected, how can you get angry when they don’t live up to your expectation. This is probably the single largest cardinal mistake that I see. Failure to communicate expectation and failure to train. Spend the time and money to properly train. It will pay you dividends for years and decades to come. Do you have a training manual? If not, guess what now would be a good time to create one. Do you have weekly staff training session? If not, I bet you guessed it already. The lesson: Give expectation and Train, Train, and Train.

Using the suggestions above will lead to a better trained staff, more profits and more fun in business.
