Fellow business owners, mostly friends. I'm in Rotary so I get a great amount of exposure to people I admire in the business industry. Also I watch Ted Talks and videos.

I don't think lazy, just time to recharge after busy days. Being a business owner, small or large, is a mentally demanding position and it can drain you. Many of my customers and all my employees are able to reach me 24 hours a day. I will check the messages and see if it is an emergency, if it...

I don't think lazy, just time to recharge after busy days. Being a business owner, small or large, is a mentally demanding position and it can drain you. Many of my customers and all my employees are able to reach me 24 hours a day. I will check the messages and see if it is an emergency, if it is, I am on it, but if not, I allow myself time to deal with personal matters on nights and days off.

I hire employees to do such tasks. We can't work on and in our businesses at the same time, if you do you will have a hard time. Good employees that are invested and believe in the business are key. Offer them good pay, benefits, training and reward the good behavior. You will find they will often step up to the plate when needed. Let them learn to make decisions on their own, give them power so you can take a day off and they can gain confidence in themselves. Be transparent in your business to the employees and they will reward you in success.

Without the incredible employees giving me their all each day and the customers who continue to support me and my dreams, where would I be? Would I be here answering this question? I would say employees and customers.

No, I don't charge extra for accepting credit cards and their fees. I would recommend looking at your merchant contract and making sure you are getting the best deal. I only sign for a max. of 2 years, but more often than not I review each year. I use my business banking merchant services and...

Keeping all the employees happy. Each have a different style and a way to approach them. Sometimes it feels like I forget my own identity and style when dealing with 12 people.

I don't feel like getting to know other business people is a desperate attempt to get referrals. I talk with business owners/managers all the time to gain perspective and insight. We have to help each other.
