New year, new you? Well, that may be a little extreme, but I do enjoy taking time to focus on new goals for the future! Recently I saw a post on LinkedIn that said, "Even if you fall flat on your face, you are still moving forward." I tend to agree!
Believe me, starting a business was only the first risk of many that I have taken since 2006. It can be scary taking that leap but I have learned that if you have your support network set up beforehand, it will help immensely when you trip up. Friends, family, employees, even social media and networking groups are a great resource for providing you with encouragement before, during or after taking a risk in your career.
As 2015 moves forward, don't forget to challenge yourself and step out of your comfort zone, it's the only way to truly grow! Allow yourself to dream big and take risks (big or small) and I guarantee you won't regret it.
As always, enjoy these tips and resources we have put together for you!

Top 10 Hiring Tips
Hiring for your small business is a big deal! We pulled some tips from an article at Mashable.com that may help because let's face it, replacing employees is a waste of time and money!
1. Be honest about the role. Transparency will help you find the right candidate in the long run. No one likes a bait and switch! 2. Seek applicants in the right places. Attend a meetup group or follow a LinkedIn group to seek candidates with specific skills or backgrounds.
3. Offer flexibility. The idea that you have to watch your employees in order for them to work is long gone!
4. Show off your company and values. Many agree that hiring someone with integrity is more valuable than an applicant with slightly more skill.
5. Always be hiring. View everyone as a potential hire.
6. Don't settle. Just don't.
7. Recruit help from your team. Whether it's referring an applicant or participating in an interview, no one knows your team better than your current employees!
8. Impress the candidate. This is a 2-way street!
9. Offer a trial period. Replacing an employee will be even more expensive. 10. Don't forget to onboard. Ensuring a smooth transition will increase the likelihood of a successful match. Read the full article here. | |
