If you’re a service business without a menu of services, creating one offers a host of benefits that touch every aspect of your business. A menu of services can help you close more sales, maintain a higher margin, and streamline operations all at the same time. The creation process can be educational, too, in that it forces you to look at your services in an organized manner. The image above is an example of a simple menu of services for a salon and spa. A menu of professional services may be a bit more complex because your offerings are more involved than “haircut” or “chair massage”, but ..read more

A common challenge for leaders is whether or not to give an underperforming or struggling employee a second chance. Maybe it’s someone who’s been with your company or team for a long time, someone who used to be a high performer who no longer is, or someone you just really like as a person. Unfortunately, they’ve messed up. They’ve either committed some sort of significant error or their performance has fallen off to the point you’re left considering whether the company would be better off without them. Should you give them a second chance? Or move forward with their termination? This artic ..read more

Since their invention in 1981, SMART goals have become a way of life for leaders worldwide and for good reason. The most apparent benefits of SMART goals are that they improve communication when delegating a project as well as increase the chances the project will succeed.  While the base acronym offers up a lot of value on its own, after years of use, I’ve found some hidden benefits of SMART goals that can make them even more effective. This article will cover the basics and then dig a bit deeper so you can get even more out of your SMART goals process. The basic benefits of SMART goa ..read more

What’s the best way to talk to your boss about a problem if no one likes a complainer? This is a challenging issue because the wrong approach can be rather damaging.

You undoubtedly tried that the first several times. Most people don’t run right to their boss the moment they have an issue! Now, though, the challenge you’re dealing with has gotten worse… and y ..read more

Dave Labowitz
by Dave Labowitz
3y ago
I get a lot of calls from solopreneur service providers (think lawyers, accountants, consultants) who are struggling in their businesses. They’re working almost around the clock, fighting fatigue and burnout, and despite all that effort, making less money than they feel they should. They’re frustrated. They took the leap into entrepreneurship because they wanted more freedom to set their schedule, more earning potential, and the ability to be the boss rather than have a boss. It all sounded great at the beginning! But somewhere along the line, something seems to have gone wrong. So what’s g ..read more

If you keep up with Hollywood gossip news, you’ve probably seen some headlines about Tom Cruise’s most recent unhinged rant. He got upset about some COVID safety violations on the set of “Mission Impossible 7” and melted down on the cast and crew. Unsurprisingly, now the story has broken that there’s a mass exodus amongst the movie’s staff. Even in the middle of a pandemic people who desperately need jobs are quitting, just to get away from Tom Cruise! This article is an analysis of Tom Cruise’s rant from an EQ perspective. It isn’t really about Tom, though; it’s about what not to do as a l ..read more
