There are a couple of key components that make up a strong business. James Smith realized what those components were a few years ago. When his business partner left, James found himself running around like a chicken with his head cut off, trying to do it all. That’s when he turned to business coaching and learned the importance of a strong foundation. Policies and procedures, and core values, are what every business should be built around. When you build your team around people that share your same core values and can follow your policies and procedures, you have a team you can trust.
Oftentimes when an employee is not lining up with our values, we get pissed off, and passively aggressively take it out on them. It’s imperative that you check in with your employees regularly and remain brutally honest with them. Most employees don’t want to let you down, they just need to know what is required to be successful. Policies and procedures, and core values all help an employee to know what is expected of them. Since implementing these things James has seen great results. So much so that when he was asked to contribute to the book, The Greatest Lessons I’ve Learned From Being an Entrepreneur, he wrote about the importance of foundation and those very pillars. He hopes to expand on that and reach more people by starting a podcast in the fall.
