Cycle is normal…

Whats your percentage?

How much will you be in control of operations?

Will they be on-site or silent or a bit of both?

Ask yourself if you could be around that person all the time? Half of it is about the relationship.

“professional cleaning company” that only accepts cash and has no change.

Move to $4,000 budget and see if the trend continues…

SMS messages every now and then. Personalized touch if you can make it happen.

You need to tackle a *specific* problem otherwise nobody knows if you are well-versed enough to do be considered to do their “busy work”.

Checking employee mistakes and then addressing them. They hate it, I hate doing it.

Your worst enemy is your family but that experience is still worth it.

Put it up for sale but keep the business going until it sells.

call any Indian owned business - ie - hotel or another gas station and they’ll find a buyer in short order.

You are smarter than this.

For me, its essential but I still cant speak fluently.

I’ll give you some sage advice: google has more reviews than any other platform combined. Spend your time there. The others just dont matter.

I have a tradition of $101 bonuses, its just a weird number but kind of cool too.

Guy lost his job to someone else. Thats what happens.

This is absolutely normal. The logic here is that if the staff finds out, they might try to leave and it also increases the rumor mill between employees. They don’t need to know until its done.

Even when I bought a business, I sat *every* single employee down and told them we wanted to keep then.

Had this happen to me, they wont do anything

This is for everyone: this is NOT a timeclock issue, I’m sure his timeclock is fine. This is not a training issue either because it can accidentally happen to your best employee.

What this is, is a manager responsibility to check every single person’s hours from the previous day, every single day and adjust accordingly (without lying).

Employees will always accidentally forget. It’s a part of business and it’s been like this since the 36 years I’ve been in business.

I have a similar timeclock and I check and adjust everyone’s hours each morning. Its always for employees forgetting to clock out btw. Its part of my morning business to-do list routine so its not a big deal to me.

I spend $550 for payroll and bookkeeping a month.
