Today I'll like to bring you a guest post by David Constable. David has been self-employed for the last several years, and is definitely an everyday working man! He has a vacation relief service and is a avid Internet entrepreneur. This is his message: "Being human, we always need some form of encouragement to keep us doing our best. It can be as simple as a pat on the back or even better, a raise! As a business owner, your encouragement should come from a satisfied customer. What inspired me to write this post was an incident I watched at a grocery store. A bakery lady was doing her job of cleaning the glass cases that hold donuts. Her supervisor just made a little comment about how good she cleans. When she heard that, she start scrubbing and wiping just a little bit more. She was already doing a good job but that little compliment made her give 120%!! We all need and love encouragement. If you are a boss, compliment those under you and see how much your productivity will go up. It's a little different for business owners that don't have employees. You should instead strive to get compliments from your customers. A successful business is a business that's number one focus is pleasing the customer. I just want to leave you with this note: your life will be a lot more satisfying when you strive to please others!" Who will you encourage today?
Well said David for the self employed the best motivation is SELF motivation! !!!!
