Millennials & Management with Lee Caraher

12.01.2015 by admin // Leave a Comment

Learn the power of inter generational teams and how to effectively work with people between 15-35.

You may have heard other business owners complain and working with Millennials.

Comments like:

They are Entitled
Job Hoppers
Disrepectful

These is a pretty commonly accepted thoughts when it comes to why you should not hire Millennials to work in your company.

But what if you are missing out? What if the very thing your company needs to grow is contained in the brain of someone you are dismissing just because of their age. We wouldnt do that with older employees, so why do we fall into the trap of not hiring them?

What if they only need you to:

Set Expectations
Focus on Why They Would Want to Stay with Your Company
Set and Explain Your Expectations
Train Them
Have a Thriving Company Culture
Make Room For Them to Grow

First off you have to understand that a Millennial is anyone between the ages of 15 and 35. That is a pretty huge range to lump altogether. Next we need to take into account all the things the younger generation has grown up with. Simple things like the microwave and cell phone are as common as breathing for them. And on the other hand people under a certain age have never walked all the way up to the terminal to meet someone flying into an airport.

There are three categories of Millennials and who they are is shaped by some pretty major events:

29 to 35 – increased security post 9/11
22-28 – 2008 recession economics
15-21 – digitally native, computers – different learning – Everyone has cell phone, tablet, laptop

Before we abandon a whole generation (again 15-35!!) lets take a look at the misconceptions. What a Millennial can bring to the table and how we as good business owners can help them be an effective member of our team

Host Steve Kidd is joined by Lee Caraher the owner of Double Forte Marketing to talk with us on this episode of Thriving Entrepreneur about Millennials and Management

Is Food Holding You Back From Success with Taryn Perry

11.26.2015 by admin // Leave a Comment

Do You Eat Food? Funny question isnt it and yet for many of us food is a constant and daily struggle. What should I eat? What should I feed the kids? Is this good for me? Are some of the most common questions in our day to day lives because, no matter who you are and no matter what you do, you have to eat.

For some lucky people food is not an issue in their life, but for many of us food may be the single most difficult part of every day.

We all know that food should be the fuel that allows us to do all that we were created to do. But are we fueling our success or are we unintentionally keeping ourselves from living at our maximum level of success all because of the way we are fueling our efforts?

Would you intentionally put bad fuel in your car? We all know what it is like to get a bad tank of gas in our car. Is there a specific gas station you avoid because of a bad experience? Are there certain places you do go to because of how it impacts your cars ability to get us to where we are going.

And yet when it comes to filling our own tank what are we putting into ourselves? Do we even think about it? What if the #1 cause for our lives being less that they could be is all based in how we fuel ourselves.

Host of Thriving Entrepreneur, Steve Kidd, has been very upfront about his own lifestyle changes and about learning to taking better care of himself. Each new day in Steve’s life is about learning to how to make better choices. So in order to make sure we really help you understand the importance of food in our lives and to help us gain some new insight on eating right to attain our best success in our lives and our businesses, Thriving Entrepreneur host Steve Kidd is joined by the owner of Choose To Be Fit Taryn Perry.
