Hiring a good assistant can almost double your productivity.  A good assistant is someone who wants to support you like crazy and that person is going to want clarity as to what that actually means. Your assistant needs to have a documented position with clear expectations to succeed.  A lack of explicit expectations equals a lack of confidence in the role.  Provide your assistant with clarity and they will charge forward with momentum. 

If you're running a business, listen up, building a company on an unstable foundation will leave you exposed and unprotected. The new world of DIY legal services online is exposing entrepreneurs to a host of liabilities. A lot of people don't take care of the legal issues and challenges associated with starting a corporation for fear of the expense, some attorneys out there are taking advantage of the rush of entrepreneurs wanting to start a corporation and are overcharging for their services, avoid them. Find a good attorney, good legal advice is worth your money and it may not cost as much as you might think. I want to make sure you're building only on a solid foundation and will be protected moving forward.

When you think negative thoughts about yourself, who is really talking? Is it you or is it somebody else? For most people, what they were taught about themselves as children, becomes the baggage they carry around through life.  As an entrepreneur you are incredibly important to the people on your team,  the comments you make influence them and become a part of their inner voice.   If you unload your frustration, irritation & anger on your team you shatter their confidence.  I tell my team how much confidence I have in them and build them up! You have an incredible impact on those who choose to work with you and if you want to honor the impact you create as an entrepreneur you need to remember that you help create your team's inner voice.
