Loving Your Team and Bettering Your Business: Five Simple Ways to Incentivize Your Team

By |2020-05-08T13:28:27-04:00December 19th, 2017|Business|

A huge part of leading is being able to motivate those you lead. It’s not always easy to figure out, but it is always, always worth it once you do. Loving your team to serve better, to work harder, and to win bigger is going to benefit everyone. Here are five ways you can incentivize your team that will increase productivity and create results where everyone wins! Personal Incentive - These are the incentives that show how well you know your team. If you have an assistant that loves dark chocolate and cool pens, you keep a stash of both in your office. This may be considered bribery as much as incentivizing but the personal touch and the fact that you’ve already invested in the items shows that you believe in your team, you care about them as individuals, and you want to see them happy. Celebration Incentive - If a goal is reached, it’s lunch on you. Order in and take the time to set up wherever you’re dining together with visual reminders of why they’re there. Maybe the team increased in sales 30% this month. 30% should be the theme of the lunch. The atmosphere should be [...]

The Right Questions to Ask When You Miss the Goal

By |2020-05-08T13:28:35-04:00December 7th, 2017|Branding, Business, Faith|

Like many of you, I set goals for myself every year. I usually hit most of them, and celebrating those wins is so fun. But every year, there’s also at least one goal that gets missed. So if you’re here at the end of 2017, and all you can see is the inevitable failure of not reaching a goal you set for yourself almost a year ago, I’d like to give you four questions to ask so you can turn this failure into growth. (Fellow John Maxwell readers know this concept of “failing forward” well!) But before we dig in, can I just take a second to remind you of one of my favorite Dave Ramsey truth bombs? “Success is just a pile of failure that you are standing on.” Failure is a package deal with winning. You won’t win every time. Every idea won’t be your best. The timing won’t always be right. Something unexpected will derail your best efforts. But the only way you really lose…is if you fail to learn from your mistakes. If you pretend it never happened. Or if you give up because it didn’t work on your first try. So here are the [...]

Is the swHw Business Tracker the Right Resource For Me?

By |2020-05-08T13:28:44-04:00November 27th, 2017|Branding, Business|

In case you’ve missed any of our other posts, here’s a quick recap to learn everything you need to know: What is the swHw Business Tracker? What is it NOT? Explore the layout. What does “Keep my Hustle Holy” mean? One last thing. Let’s just call out the elephant in the room. Do you really need to add one more thing to your plate? Will you actually have the time to fill this tracker out so it benefits you and your business? Maybe. Or maybe you could spend that time scrolling social media one more time. Or you could try refreshing your last Instagram photo again to see if it’s gotten any more engagement in the last hour. (I can only say these things because I can relate!) The truth is: We make time for what matters. And too often, we get stuck in the routine of habit rather than the pursuit of discipline. But if you use the swHw Business Tracker as it’s intended, you won’t have to stay stuck anymore. (Unless it’s the hamster wheel of purpose…and in that case – Jesus, please keep me stuck!) Old habits will be hard to break, of course. But these [...]

What’s a “Holy Hustle”?

By |2020-05-08T13:38:27-04:00November 27th, 2017|Branding, Business|

You want to know the number one reason the swHw Business Tracker contains the format I’ve kept for myself over the years? Because I’m a sinner. (I’ll give you a minute to get over your shock – ha!) But truthfully, I am prone to sin. I am prone to wander. So the four words on the front of the tracker is the most important component of the swHw business tracker: keep my hustle holy. Now, hustle can bring out all kinds of emotions. Some people are anti-hustle because when they think “hustle,” they think no days off, and work days full of comparison, competition and cutthroat activity. But holy hustle doesn’t mean we hurry through Kingdom work or tirelessly pursue our own selfish gain. Holy hustle is a commitment to Kingdom work that is driven by prayer and action. As my friend Andy Savage puts it, it’s working in such a way that “asks God to act perfectly on our behalf instead of us trying to act imperfectly on His behalf." (I’m gonna give you time to make sure you “Amen’ed” that!) But friends, the last thing we want to do is attempt to work for God without consulting [...]

See the Layout of the swHw Business Tracker

By |2020-05-08T13:38:21-04:00November 27th, 2017|Branding, Business|

Are you ready to see the inside of the swHw Business Tracker? Let's dig in! Each tracker contains 6 sections you’ll get to know very well: GUIDE The Guide section is 24-pages, jam-packed with business truthbombs. Yes, its main purpose is to help you be able to utilize the tracker to its fullest, but it will also help you run your business both more efficiently and most importantly, in a way that is Spirit-led. Our influencers agree the Guide section alone is worth the entire price of the tracker. And that’s just the beginning! NMW (No Matter Whats) The only thing that I don’t like about using paper resources is the chore of writing down reoccurring tasks over and over again. So we included a tab for your convenience to easily access this section where you can write down up to 10 regularly reoccurring tasks for your day and 10 reoccurring tasks for your week. Then, in your weekly and daily sections, you’ll have a chance to mark off when they’re all complete. QUARTERLY Because business can change so quickly due to things outside of our control (new social media platforms, new opportunities, changing markets/trends, etc.), it’s hard to [...]
