10,000 Hours...That's a lot of Hours!

Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers” popularized the idea of it taking around 10,000 hours to become an expert.

That’s a lot of hours to master any given subject! Who has that kind of time?

As a business owner/decision maker that would mean dedicating 10k hours each to payroll and taxes, benefits admin, time-labor management, retirement plan admin and HR to be sure your company is being run correctly in all those areas.

That’s why having a partner who already has the experts saves you time & energy, makes sure you’re in compliance and can give you a peace of mind so you can focus on growing your business.

Say.......One More Time!

Say ________  one more time!

 

Like - Our processes are fine

Or - We’re compliant

Or - I’ll just do it myself

Or - We’re not sure if it’s right, but it’s how we do it

Or - We’ve always done it that way

Or - We use Quickbooks, spreadsheets, a whiteboard….

 

All this to say, there is a better way. Save time. Save money. Save energy.

Listen in to learn how.

So Tell Me, What’s Goin’ On?

So tell me, what’s goin’ on? How many conversations start with, “How are you?” or “How are you doing?” only to get a one-word answer like “good” or “fine”.

When speaking to people there is one thing everyone wants: to be heard.

Take a listen to this episode to learn how to ask a better question to start a conversation, and how Roger has used it to get more info from both clients and prospects. It may not work every time, but it will improve most conversations.

I’ve Got Nothing Against Excel, But.…

Nothing against Excel and Word, they have their uses. But using them to track PTO requests, timecards, recruiting candidates or employee reviews (just to name a few) is outdated. There is a more efficient way! Learn about automating these processes and a bunch more. Save time, save money, save your sanity.

’ll Just Do It Myself! (But Why Would You?)

Business owners should be focused on growing their business, not running it.

Having great consultants can save you time and let you focus on the real matter: making your business better.

Leave the HR, retirement plan administration, employee benefits administration, payroll, human capital management and time-labor management to the professionals. It’s like having a “cheat code”.

Save time.

Save money.

Save energy.

Stay compliant.

Stay current.

They are a gift, a resource with connections.
Great consultants are a CHEAT CODE!

Thanks!

It’s the week of Thanksgiving and most people are thinking about family, food and football. Absolutely celebrate how blessed we are!  

 

But what about evolving, changing, growing and adjusting? Change is inevitable. Every business needs to adjust to thrive and not just survive. Think about how far you've come, and let's hope you haven't peaked just quite yet. Embrace change, technology and the journey.

 

And for some holiday humor, watch Snoopy and the lawn chair from Happy Thanksgiving Charlie Brown. Comic genius!

Without Data, Decisions Are Just an Opinion

Decisions. Just like every other day of the year people need to make decisions. And to make decisions, you need information.

Business leaders need information to make smart business decisions. We all know that. Having a platform where a lot of that information is stored makes it easier on them, and on the employees they lean on to make these decisions.

Listen in to hear how you can make that happen for your business.
