LIFE IS<br />
BEAUTIFUL...<br />
WITH GERRIM<br />
not just about giving yourself more time, it’s about giving yourself more<br />
time to be more strategic in what you want to achieve, and the results<br />
should be measurable.<br />
Let’s say you want to create a new range of jewellery. Give yourself<br />
the time to go into the city and look around at what others are doing,<br />
set up appointments with multiple gem merchants to understand<br />
what is available, analyse the pricing differences and spend the hours<br />
that it takes to search online for suppliers overseas who may carry<br />
merchandise you can’t get locally. These are all time-consuming<br />
exercises which require you to dedicate your time and concentration.<br />
Life is a trade-off. If you want to do this, then someone else must serve<br />
customers, take appointments on that day, manage the workshop, or<br />
set up the staff schedules.<br />
In my previous article I wrote about change and I posed the question -<br />
do you even want to change? This article is about taking you out of your<br />
comfort zone.<br />
No person is an army unto themselves.<br />
We need to surround ourselves with like-minded people who share<br />
our moral code and hopefully want to grow and be challenged. The<br />
best people in your business will never stay unless you provide not only<br />
vision and opportunity, but proof that you are executing this vision.<br />
Nothing happens overnight. Everything takes longer and probably costs<br />
double from what you initially think.<br />
I challenge you all to ask yourself what sort of employee you need.<br />
The answer must be built around your end game. Is it to build the best<br />
business you can, or be the best version of yourself?<br />
Get it right and you can have the double whammy … both.<br />
Trade well,,, Rami Baron.<br />
