Who employs you? Out of the red and into the black

Who do you work for? Believe it or not, the answer is not the company who pays your wages. I believe that the person you work for - is actually you.

Think about it, you are totally responsible for the business of YOU. You are entirely responsible for the direction you are travelling, who is travelling with you, and how fast you are getting to your destination. You are also entirely responsible for the health of your company - health being physical shape, emotional shape, financial shape and your company's personal spirituality and/or philosophy.

Now the question has to be - if you had to go to work every day and work for that person, would you enjoy working for them? Or would you be looking for a new job in the not too distant future?

Think about it this way:

• Would you continue to work for a company that doesn't pay it's bills, let alone on time.
• Would you continue to work for a company who has a huge debt and works from pay cheque to pay cheque just to get by.
• Would you continue to work for a company that does little or nothing to move the business forward, but continues to do the same things over and over again.
• Would you continue to work for a boss who eats too much, smokes to excess or drinks every night, and comes into work hung over and not looking the best every morning?
• Would you continue to work for a boss who looks like they might keel over from a heart attack because of poor decisions, stressful relationships, and is miserable doing what he/she is doing?

OF COURSE YOU WOULDN'T.

You'd be off like a shot wouldn't you. There is no way you would continue to work for an organisation that doesn't appreciate who and what you are, and what you can do.

The thing is - if we are working for us, then we are doing exactly that. We are working for a boss who doesn't give two hoots about our emotional, physical or spiritual well being. We are up to our eyeballs in debt and we drink and eat to excess so that we can forget how bad it all is.....

So my question to you is this. When are you going to get your business into shape? When are you going to get your business out of the red and into the black?
