Team members often feeling 'meh'?

Yes, it happens even to the best of businesses!

As we head into the final run of the year (yes... already), every business owner wants to end on a high.

That might mean increased profit, it could mean just smoother processes or even better quality work, but none of this is possible with a demotivated team.

Here's ten of my favourite staff motivation strategies - which stands out to you and what would you add to the list?

I had a client come in last week convinced his KPI system was solid - he had ten different scoring areas and spent months on it.

We asked his team a simple question - off the top of your head, has it been a good week or bad week?

Nobody could answer. Not because they didn't care, just that it was too much to keep track of.

We cut it right back and had just three numbers. The ones that actually matter for that business.

Two weeks later, his team could tell you exactly where they stood without opening a spreadsheet.

Yes, more tracking ≠ more clarity, but sometimes the win is taking stuff away, not adding more.

How many KPIs is your team actually tracking day to day and be honest, how many do they check without being told to?

Are you wasting money on expos?

Had a session last week with a client who was about to fly out to an expo in Hungary. The plan was to pretty much turn up, work the stand, see what happens.

So I asked him, "who are you actually trying to get in front of while you're out there?"

He didn't have an answer.

Fair enough, most people don't until someone asks.

By the end of the session, he had a list of 25 target customers he was going to personally invite. 4 flyers for different types of buyer. Content sorted before he even left. And a way of actually tracking who turned up.

Same trip. Same money spent either way, but it was a very different result.

Genuinely think most owners don't lose money on bad ideas - they lose it on decent ideas they never actually planned properly.

Anyone else guilty of "turning up" to things without much of a plan? Be honest 😅

I came across this little clip from Jeff Bezos over the weekend and who'd have thought it. Stress is caused by NOT taking action!
