Statistics show the majority of people aren’t enthralled with their work. Interpreting the statistics meaning forces me to come to the conclusion it’s difficult for them to have a great time because instead of excelling they reached a plateau which causes static thinking, worry, stress, or tiredness. One way to break anhedonia is by applying the following peak performance structure to improve your mindset, mood, and motivation.

Mature businesses show there maturity through consistency. In other words they are reliable. It’s odd to receive calls from suppliers on behalf of well known organizations that cannot keep an appointment. What does this say about your company? It’s not appealing. People’s time is valuable. You should keep the appointment although you may not be interested because it’s your word, you’ll learn more, and establish trust.

It’s not rocket science. Customers and buyers want to do business with your organization because they know what is agreed upon will be delivered on time. Recently, I worked with a company and they had a hard time telling me a delivery date. The reason was because they didn’t know when their supplier would complete their part. They didn’t say they would check with the supplier and get back to me with a delivery date. Obviously, they’re not motivated.

When working with entrepreneurs and small business owners I see a drive and passion that is necessary for success. There are eight areas where consistent actions are needed to produce consistent results. As you develop and grow, the actions change because of your accomplishments and your business needs evolve. The one action, for those in startup mode or are in steady mode, not growth mode most often overlooked is the action to celebrate. Surprised?

As an organization what do you do to motivate employees to win, grow, and evolve? This isn’t management motivating employees or employees motivating management. There should be three categories:
1. Motivation for project work to win, grow, evolve
2. Motivation to run the organization to win, grow, evolve
3. Motivation for clients to win, grow, evolve
Question: We’re a California startup with a few founders working full-time right now. We are planning on expanding. Do we have to offer any future full-time employees the same benefits as we set up for ourselves? Do they need to have the same healthcare plan fully paid by the company? Do they need to receive the same retirement plan contributions paid by the company? Thanks!

Good question for Founders Space.
I know this is difficult. I’ve been there before. But you have to take action now. First off, no one is indispensable. You may believe you can’t live without this engineer, but you can. You’ll be able to find someone else who can learn the code and get the job done. My advice is to clearly let this engineer know that his behavior is unacceptable, and he either needs to work with you or you’ll have to find someone to replace him.

The best way is to tap into your network of friends and colleagues. It’s always better to start with someone you know well and have worked with in the past. That said, all too often you know people with similar backgrounds and skill sets to your own. So how do you find a co-founder with a complimentary skill set?
