MONDAY MINDSET: It's President's Day. Why it's important to you and your business.

President's Day is a United States federal holiday.  We take today off to honor and remember our current and past leaders of this great nation. However, we have collectively come to know it as the day you may have to scramble and juggle a bit because employees or vendors have the day off.  Perhaps, you may have to pay your employee holiday pay if they are working. And, of course, there is the annual "President's Day Sale"  promotion.  Those are the typical dominating themes of President's Day for many business owners. 

But, there is another significant reason President's Day could impact you and your business.    Why is President's Day important to you?  Because like the our President, past and present, who led our great nation, you are leading your great business. 

Are you the great leader your business needs?  What does it mean to be a great leader? 

Some of the characteristics of a great leader are: 

Patience

Energy

Unity

Cooperation

and many more. 

But, the leading characteristic is 

TRUST

Do your customers trust you? Do your employees trust you?  Do you trust yourself as the leader of your company, your employees, and your customers?   If you're answers made you wonder perhaps it's time for a reboot of developing the characteristic of TRUST.  But, how do you build trust?  Actually, it is very simple... you are consistent with your thoughts, your words, and your actions.  Simple, yes.  But, not necessarily easy.  If you need to work on building TRUST, today is a GREAT day to start.  

Happy President's Day.
