15 MAR. 2024 · As a topic that keeps resurfacing, we're replaying part of Episode 67, which focuses on workplace inconsistencies and how to reduce and eliminate them. Whether it's inconsistencies within the employee handbook, enforcement of policies and procedures, or inconsistency with getting work done at the time, quality, and attention expected and for the intended purpose—inconsistency unravels the fabric of relationships (professional and personal).
Inconsistency causes a breakdown in trust. Trust is built on consistency.
We share two real-life workplace examples of two employees facing work environments and managers who are inconsistent. In one scenario, we examine and address inconsistent training and policies. In a second scenario, we examine and address a manager's inconsistent nature and inconsistent follow-through, techniques, practices, and more.
We share suggestions on how to handle these, similar, and other issues in your workplace. We address some management areas where senior leaders need to pay close attention, and we share a list of workplace "no-nos" where inconsistency rears its ugly head and bites you.

21 DIC. 2023 · This is the FINAL episode of this multi-part series on "How to Start a Business" [or revamp an established one]. If you have followed along throughout this series, we hope you have found each episode informative and helpful.
Episode 100 will walk you through the first and final steps to launch your business. We'll discuss the various legal structures of a business, how to select a unique name, how to set up your business bank account and obtain the necessary licenses and permits, and how to build your team from scratch. Since we spent the past several weeks learning and creating the various elements that make up our business plan, we will examine the different types of business plans and provide you with tips on which plans to use based on certain circumstances and needs.
We're ending this series where most people start their business because often people romanticize this part, get carried away in the clouds, and then get blindsided by the required heavy lifting — all of which we covered in Parts 1 through 12 of this series. Hopefully, we brought some order to your chaos and made sense of the madness you were surrounded with.
If you're ready to rock and roll with us through this final stretch, grab your snacks and something to take notes with, and then press the play button!
