Linked is an interesting article from Inc.com that discuss 25 things that you can do in order to jump-start your business. Here are why three of them stand out to me:
#2 Engage Your Employees-
By engaging your employees more in decision making and planning within your business, you can an added “advisory board” with an unique and fresh perspective on the direction of your business. It also allows employees to feel more committed and involved in the organization, thus further motivating them.
#6 Shed Your Problem Customers-
This is true in any industry, we should not be so caught up in making a sale, closing a deal or signing a new client that we lose sight of what they might cost us in the long run (e.g. unrealistic demands on time, inability to be satisfied, consistent complaints about work product). You are better served focusing on a few good clients. Don’t let the bad ones distract your time from that.
#18 Find Some Amazing Interns-
As the article says, interns help to fill gaps within your business. Take advantage of local colleges and university. Work with career services offices to create new and unique ways of motivating quality interns to join your team.
