Break All Human Resources Policies & Procedures When You Become An Entrepreneur & Work For Yourself
You know those big Human Resources Policies & Procedures manuals that all big corporations have? The ones govern your code of conduct during your workday? Those rules were made to be broken. That is, if you decide to work for yourself and become an entrepreneur. Otherwise, you'd get fired for breaking the HR rules.Entrepreneurs don't have rules. They don't have policies and procedures.

Developing and Deploying Leaders in the Right Way
Helping people realize their potential as leaders means clearing a path for them to grow, but it also means identifying what they need to work on in the current job. This is where leadership gets very personal. There's no substitute for ongoing face-to-face dialogue with people about what's going well and what isn't.

The entrepreneur starting a business is extremely busy. Inspired by the dream of escaping the 9-5 work week, it is common for entrepreneurs to put in 100+ hour weeks during the startup phase. Every effort is made to ensure a profitable business in the future—from creating a catchy name to building the perfect product to orchestrating an effective marketing campaign. But in this flurry of activity, there is a strong propensity to forget something extremely important: building business relationships with other people.

This tendency is further encouraged by our notion of the “lone ranger” entrepreneur. The concept of a person building a successful business alone is held in high esteem by society, yet dangerously unrealistic. Entrepreneurs who build their businesses with assistance from others are far more likely to succeed than those who attempt it alone. For this reason, it is imperative that entrepreneurs work on building relationships with people who can help them.

Achieving a State of 'Flow' at Work
Do you ever feel like your mind is a million miles away? You can watch someone in a meeting who is “somewhere else,” and they have a far-away, glassy look to the eye. You know they are not hearing a word of what is being said. They may be with you physically, but their minds are somewhere else, thinking about some meeting, worrying about that errand, or trying to figure out what someone mean

People are more likely to refer friends to someone they know personally.

Networking can build your reputation
Become known as a knowledge broker, and you’ll soon be recognized as an expert in your field. Every time you offer advice and solutions for free, you’re building into people who will spread word about your business in the future.

Networking develops new business ideas
Talking with other small business owners is a powerful way to fuel innovation. As you talk with fellow entrepreneurs and small business owners you can learn about new markets that have potential, and come up with ideas you wouldn’t have thought of on your own. Many a new product, service, or market began as a person-to- person discussion.

Networking helps you find joint venture partners
Joint ventures are a powerful means of doing business. Each party contributes something that the other doesn’t have. If you socialize with the right group of people, you will find great partners for profitable ventures.
