the professionals recognize the authority of who is paying them.. they know that their paycheck comes from the employer even if that employer is a college drop out.. and dont forget, you as an employee is always replaceable..
i stand my ground nga dili magamit imo full potential kung trabahante ra ka.. even if manager imo position.. simply because you arent exposed to all aspects of the business, and you have nothing to lose if the establishment fails except your job which you can look for in other companies.. and also, your responsibities and duties are only to those that you are being paid for.. (you might also think about the time spent on your job can be spent on other activities)
im not hands on.. why should i? i have people doing the things that needs to be done.. my job is to make businesses that are self sustaining.. not running them.. i dont need my employees to use their whole potential. why should i? that would create power bases on the companies i own, and also they have to spend energy on other parts of their lives except work diba?.. i limit what they know to what they need to know.. if ganahan sila magnegosyo ila. go. as long as dili sila mo competensya. better, if mocooperate sila.. il help them start their own..
it might interest you that my first business is already 5 years operational using my formula ( i copied this from other businessmen) .. my other businesses are 4 year old and most are still 3 years old.. although i still have new projects going on.. i call them "babies"-

nindut tana i advertise ako biz dre pero nah... basin naa tga- BIR, initan napud ko..
what i mean of "nothing" is no money on my part..

i think OT na ta.. we should put this one under my thread starting a biz with nothing..
kung manarbaho ka. i advise kanang industry nga gusto nimu sudlan kung magnegosyo nka.. gain contacts ang study how the company works from the inside.. being an employee is what i consider the safe way. but the rewards are limited.. pagnegosyo lang kung isog jud mo.. it aint fun and games...
I really don't understand what you don't get with what I am saying.
Even if GMA paid for your license, the point is that is still CAPITAL LIABILITY.
hello, marketing 101 -- what every businessman should know!!
It is not nothing. You, as a person, didn't even start from nothing.
No, I am not a lawyer. harharhar. What made you say that?!
Definitely not dealing with "technicalities" as you would say it..
My profession requires my imagination and my talent and who are you to say that I'm not using my full potential?
And if I as an employee is totally replaceable, what makes you think your business is not in the mercy of some other "power"?
I'm not going to just focus on the call center agents... I will include the employed in general, k that's what you wanted to prove anyway that employed people don't use their full potential.. As PR people, do you think they are not using their full potential? As directors, do you think they are not using their full potential as well? Those are employed people for your information, just in case you forgot that the employed doesn't mean being stuck in the office whole day long.
As for your employees who you say don't need to use their full potential, i pity them working for a selfish person like you are and someone who is satisfied with mediocre employees.
And what if they compete with you? If you say you are as good as you say you are, then why be scared of them competing against you? You say so yourself you've been in the business long enough, established naka. You don't need to be scared of the competition oi!
I am not anti-biz, i will repeat that again.
5 years lang? My family has been in the business world for 30 years. I am 28 now, so I have been exposed to that business since God knows when. So, I definitely know what I am talking about here. Our employees are encouraged to partake of the knowledge of the business and they can definitely go into the same business. We have several who did that already. But did the business fail? NO! Simply because, we know that we are the pioneers and we have been in the business longer than they have been.
But I never once thought that employees are people who don't use their full potential! If I had that mentality, I wouldn't even have continued my studies and just went with my family's business since I know the ins and outs of that anyway without having to finish school and sit on my fat a$$ raking in the moolah. Instead, I choose to be employed and explore my full potential.
