Yes! I did it! I went to the Ellen show, chilled with Justin Bieber, and then walked the purple carpet at his movie premier. Now, all I need to hope is that all my friends will stay off my case! My younger brother, Chris is Ellen’s assistant and surely hooked this trip up for my 14 year old sister (who was much more excited than I was). However, at the end of the day, it was pretty cool.

Maintaining Employee Performance

Nobody wants to work for a boss that only makes demands and rewards the employees with nothing more than a paycheck. On the other hand, if a boss is too lax with the employees and is seen as more of a friend than a superior; then there is a good chance the employees will take advantage of this. I feel there is a common ground that can be utilized to ensure that your employees continuously perform well and hopefully enjoy working for you.
I’ve found that using 3 R’s when dealing with employees has... continue reading >>

Owning properties in 3 different states requires me to travel a great deal. On a recent trip to Atlanta my mind began to wander while I was sitting in the airport waiting for my flight. I was watching how everyone around me was just kind of minding their own business, listening to their I-pod, watching TV or reading the newspaper. As I boarded my flight, I again took note of how little people were interacting with each other. It seemed the only friendly and outgoing people I encountered on my trip were those that were working.... continue reading >>
