Your Fired

Your Fired?
Here is a question that all of us have to ask. This will probably be my least liked post of all of them.
Stopping to think about what we are doing can be very beneficial.
This is a lesson that I had to learn and for me it was a hard lesson.
Learning it made the difference of working for someone else or working for myself.
For many people who are good people, spend time on the Internet, and it just does not seem to fall in place this is something you want to look at.
If you hired someone to help you build your business.What if you started training them and showed them what to do.
After the new excitement wore off they showed up when they wanted! Not when you needed them to work! Sometimes a week or more would go buy without them working.
After they started working when they would begin checking emails they would get interested in a link and end up spending time reading things that were not related to work!
They would start writing something and end up on YouTube watching videos!
If when they started a training they would only do part of the training and then go off and do something else.
They tried to figure out things without going through the training.
They asked you a lot of questions that you knew was in the training they did not finish.
When they would go through what you taught them they had a better idea on how to do it.
If all this happened and more
Would you set the employee down and say
YOUR FIRED!
Onward and Upward
My own thought is that work is what you make it and everybody does it their own way. I am prone to procrastination and am easily distracted. I wiffle-waffle. I stall out.
I do accomplish a lot that makes sense to me and is beneficial for group efforts and all that.
I also am careful not to work for (or with) other people whose ways of working might be adversely affected by my own way and I have gotten very mindful of the consequences and impacts of my own idiosyncracies on others. (The 2x4s upside the head tend to help the lessons sink in.)
For me, the freedom to do mine trumps a lot of other considerations.
What nobody ever tells you is that walking free takes a lot of self-discipline.
