XXXIII. Business
That’s right, follow the advice of people who never had to do anything on their own, build anything on their own, fund anything on their own, run anything (a store, company, food truck, agency, etc…) on their own, make something successful on their own, or market something on their own. Follow that decrepit and worthless advice that has you standing around babysitting the movements of employees instead of babysitting your capital, your investments, how much you’re spending, ALL employee performance (especially the leaders), your product or service performance, your revenue, taxes and other obligations. Keep following that worthless and directionless, possibly racist and sexist advice that you’re getting from some dumbass that thinks you should be micromanaging appearances and movements of employees day in and day out. And please, don’t bother to keep your money, waste it on a brick and mortar; pay utilities, pay sky-high rent for your building, pay whatever-they-want security prices, pay for extra equipment, pay for extra devices, pay for all the manpower to set these things up and keep these things running. Rest assured that the people you pay to run your IT, who make sure it runs effectively and efficiently, is doing this from home and saving the company THEY work for money. But you go ahead, business, company, agency and the like, you go ahead and pay more just to micromanage because you’re afraid someone is going to take a piss too long on some day, within some hour, for who knows how many minutes or seconds.
Dare to wonder why I wrote this shit? Well you’ve read this far. I wrote this to remind a lot of you that the formula you had years ago, when you had your workers working primarily remote, was the right formula. No matter how great or how bad your company does that year, quarter, or however you measure it, you won’t have a total loss because you have to pay the ever so constant, and rising, expenses for that brick and mortar.
Of course, this doesn’t apply to all stores that provide products and services because it can’t (i.e., grocery stores, manufacturing/building, construction, restaurants, healthcare, etc…) However, you know who this applies to, and if you don’t, obviously you’re paying attention to the wrong things again.
Don’t allow yourself to be duped by a dope. Keep your eyes on the results and all other pertinent functions of your organization, and away from micromanaging yourself and your company or business into bankruptcy.
