No one has ever done that. It would take a miracle. There is a one in a million chance. How often do we hear this, yet these against all odds events happen?

This past weekend Chris and I snuck away and had little staycation. No computers. No work. Just us, our beloved city of Chicago, and of course the frigid Chiberia temperatures. Our focus is often swept up in the rat race and we ignore what is truly important. Sometimes we take for granted the people who are always there for us without even realizing it. Are you doing this at work? Are you doing this with your employees and clients? Let’s examine this a couple of different ways.Do you consider your employees disposable and merely numbers? Are you truly interested in their well being? Do you ensure they have a balanced work/life balance? How do your actions show this? In the words of Gary Vaynerchuk: “Too many managers think that people are working for them; they don’t realize that they should be working for their employees. I always approach my management style from the perspective that I am working for my employees. They’re the boss of me. As a manager, your first job is to practice humility before anything else. Work for the people on your team. Once you make that mental shift, it’s fascinating how many things just flow from there.”What about you clients and your customers? Do you see them merely as dollar signs? Are they only a paycheck or something more to you? This mindset comes across in your body language and all your communications with them, regardless of how you try to hide it. Is a client better off when they leave your office, end a meeting with you, or move on from your service? Does your best interest lie with them? Can they trust you? Would you truly recommend yourself to others?The world opens up a lot more to us when we value ourselves, our employees, our team, our clients, and our loved ones. Like Gary Vee says “Once you make that mental shift, it’s fascinating how many things just flow from there.” Take time for yourself to recharge and focus on what matters most. If you are an owner, make this a priority in your business operations for all team members.  Happy Employees = Happy Business!Let BZ Consultants Inspect What Should Be Expected🕵️ https://qrco.de/bcqqFoApple🎙️https://apple.co/3U4KvGASpotify 🎧 https://spoti.fi/3DNNgFIYoutube ▶️ https://bit.ly/3WhsvKHFollow, subscribe, rate, and never miss a Facts Not Feelings Show!Chapters0:00 Start1:17 Do you truly unplug from the world?
