They will do anything you want because you are interested in them. You are helping them accomplish their goals, dreams, tasks. Have an intimate relationship with your employees. Start asking questions about their children, spouse, where they live and how you can help them obtain that nicer house or a better car.

It doesn’t take that much human interaction to really make a huge difference in the lives of other people. Ans the tip for the day is this - do you care?

Compliment VS Complaining

Posted by Aaron Walker on Apr 26, 2021 9:00:00 AM

People are conditioned for complaining because everybody complains and hardly nobody compliments! But I learned that a compliment will get you far greater advantage than complaining. If you want to get results, start complimenting people around you. Start with your spouse - for the things he/she does right, your kids - for the simplest things they do, and then watch their performance level go up!

Stop complaining, start complimenting!

Does Your Interest Exceed Your Commitment?

Posted by Aaron Walker on Apr 14, 2021 9:00:00 AM

Does your interest level outweigh or exceed your level of commitment? Man, it’s a hot topic that we're discussing in Iron Sharpens Iron each and every week. And I want to discuss it with you guys.

We talk to some organizations where the interest level is huge but there's very little commitment. And I started asking myself some questions. Why? Why is that they don't have people around them to help propel them to the next level? They're not there to encourage them. There's no accountability. The list goes on and on and on. But what I'm finding out is when people surround themselves with people that are interested, of like minds, have the same core values, have the same principles in mind as they do, they catapults them to the next level.

Let me ask you. I know you're interested but how committed are you? Are you willing to take the time and certain energy and the resources and put into it each and every day in order to obtain your goals? Or is your interest level just at a point where you'd like to have it but you're not willing to put the work in to get it?

10 Tips On How To Create A Great Partnership

Posted by Aaron Walker on Mar 22, 2021 9:00:00 AM

10 Tips On How To Create A Great Partnership.

I have had about a dozen partnership over the years of me doing business. Don't let people stop your dreams when they tell you that partnerships don't work. That's not true! If they are carefully planned and structured. There has to be an operating agreement!

Here are some tips and things you need to consider so you can create a great partnership.

1. What is the business evaluation formula if we decide to sell? Deposit/length of time/interest rate/etc ( This should be a price that dissuades the partner to sell, not rewards him)

2. What if one partner develops a competing product? Does this negate the partnership? I suggest a length of time for a no non compete.

Who owns the product and platform if you dissolve? What happens if one partner dies?

3. Do I have first right of refusal if the other partner wants out? Will the same evaluation formula be used? Historically, you are penalized when leaving prematurely. This always encourages the partnership to remain in place. It keeps each partner from plotting an early exit. Keeps everyone honest.

4. If a cash influx is needed from the partners are you agreeing to bring your % equal to your ownership %? How much time is allotted for your contribution? What is the plan if the partner says I don’t have or do not want to contribute additional capital?

5. How will the profits/proceeds be distributed? This is a big concern. I suggest a % be distributed and a % be reinvested back into the business. Don’t establish a dollar amount, it always changes as the business grows.

6. When will profits be distributed? Monthly/Quarterly/Annually?
Your needs will always be different. A formula for distribution of profits needs to be in place regardless of your needs. Never distribute based on needs of the partner, this will cause hardship and confusion. Distribute on a schedule.

7. What is the job role/responsibilities, of each partner? Write them out.

8. What is the process if the partner falls on hard times and wants to sell? Non elected, forced ( Bankruptcy, divorce, health, etc..) Formula for evaluation/terms/first right?

9. Is there a dispute clause if you reach an impasse? Or, majority owner holds the red button? This could be a phased approach. 1. Owners decide 2. Trusted advisors decide ( predetermined) 3. Arbitration

Where will the partnership be incorporated?

10. There should be a vision/mission/core values.
You cover these big topics and your future life will be much better, I promise.
