As a shop owner, you're no stranger to long hours and hard work. Some days are more hectic than others, and important tasks can be left unfinished if the day gets overwhelming. Other shop owners have found doing these 10 tasks every single day helps keep them focused. So, try incorporating them into your routine to keep yourself on track. Fostering a connection between you and your employees can create a healthy and happy work environment. When the people who work for you feel valued, they are much more likely to be productive, on time, and present during work. All it takes is a quick "good morning" to let your employees know you appreciate them. You can even take it one step further and ask them specific questions pertaining to their lives. Lacee Cunningham, owner of Eureka Brake & Automotive, shares her take on this tip: "When I arrive, I make a point to walk through the shop and say good morning to each staff member. Usually it's a simple, 'Good morning,' but sometimes I will stop and ask them about something specific that I know they are interested in or involved with, like how their weekend was, how their spouse is doing with their child starting kindergarten, or how they did in that recent frisbee golf tournament. I really enjoy getting to know them on a more personal level, even if it's just a few minutes at a time." |
