Great Business Blog!

As you know, there are myriads of blogs here in cyberspace about business.

My latest find and daily "must-read" is Create Small Business Success.  Nothing new or revolutionary, but just regular reminders of all the things we should already know and be doing as small business persons and entrepreneurs.

Breakfast Boost

If you lead employees or a team, you know how important it is to be sure that all of the individuals are "meshing" and can at least tolerate, if not enjoy, working together.

At our family's business, we have nearly 35 employees working at 3 different locations, so this can be a little challenging sometimes.

My bridal store, however, only has 6 employees who all work at the same place.  Over Spring Break, I gave them a pretty big challenge; which they worked together to achieve. 

As a reward, we went to a great local restaurant for breakfast this past Saturday morning where I also gave them each a gift certificate for a manicure.  We had a great time and it allowed each member of the staff to "bond" just a bit more with the others.  The shared experience of meeting the goal and then celebrating together was work the extra money that it cost the business.
