The Essentials
People are the Heart and Soul
PEOPLE
There simply isn’t business without people. You, your customers, employees, family, and community all are integral and essential to your success. Yet people can be the most challenging part of running a business. Learning how to lead, connect, communicate, and care for people may be the most important skill you can develop.
Remembering What Matters Most
VALUES
Who you are and how you behave say more to your customers, employees and community than anything else. Choosing a direction grounded in a business ethic and a code of honor will strengthen your business by building respect, integrity, and professionalism. People will support businesses that are reliable, honest, and respectful. Employees will be loyal when they know they matter to you and the business.
Strength in Each Moment
DAY to DAY
Whether it is time to pick the fruit or fill an order, small actions and details all add up over the long run. It is important to create systems and structures that keep you and your business on track. If you are a maker, then you may need a strong plan for handling finances and paper work. If you feel scattered across several aspects of your business, you may need to get support. Balancing a business, a family, and a life requires a thoughtful approach!
