  1. Ask new hires: What can I do to make you want to stay with our company?
  2. Ask new hires: What is important to you about the onboarding experience?
  3. Ask new hires: How can we improve the hiring and onboarding process?
  4. Ask employees: What can I do for you to be able to do your best work?
  5. Ask employees: Is this job what you envisioned when you were interviewed?
  6. Ask employees: What does your ideal career ladder look like?
  7. Ask yourself: How has this employee added value to the organization?

As a business coach, there are 6 critical mistakes that I see founders and business owners make.

If you nod in agonized agreement to the points below, you’re in a prison cell that many entrepreneurs the world over find themselves in:

  • Working endless hours without scaling new heights...
  • Working harder to make even less...
  • Lying awake, agonizing about your superior competitors...
  • Spending more time doused in frustration than sipping the champagne of success...
  • Always on the hunt for fresh strategies and new customers...
  • Drowning in staff issues when you’d rather focus on business growth…

To help you overcome these 6 critical mistakes, I have written the Six Silver Bullets e-book to guide you through the process. Implementing these Six Silver Bullets are Six Surprisingly Simple and Effective Strategies Smart Entrepreneurs Use to Gain Control of Their Time, Team, and Money and Grow Their Business Profits Fast!
