The value in this contest is the worth place on the assets. Even if the assets cost $5; they will still place some value on it. Not because of the price but because of the usefulness of the asset.

This meeting will help you to review your past week and project into the future. It will also help you to see what works and what is not working. Don’t forget building a successful business is not all about you alone.

Giving recognition and award to staffs is another incentive.

There are different forms of incentives; a simple thank you mail or a birthday wish is all your customer required of you.

You cannot fool your staffs; if they did not see your unique interest in their development they will never give you their best.

However, you need to understand that one of the ways to encourage development is to give them rooms to make mistakes and correct them in love. Help them to develop themselves in making some little business decisions. This will help them to trust you more and invariably make them loyal to you.

  1. Be Calm With Problems: Successful entrepreneur knows how to handle problems; they do not entertain fear. They understood that your first step to overcoming business challenges is CONFIDENCE – if you lose your confident over a problem; you have already lost to the problem.

You need to understand that when you are calm your staffs too will be calm. More so, it is in your calmness that you can fine solution to the problems. Successful entrepreneurs understood you cannot make any serious decisions when you are unstable, confused or anxious.

Remember, the way you handle the problem either made it a good problem or a bad one.
