Accepting flawsome in Business?

What is flawsome?

FLAWSOME: (adj.) A person who embraces all their quirks and 'flaws' and realises they are awesome regardless.

Yeah, this is something that is new to me too, but here we are.

One of the reasons I wanted to discuss this notion of flawsome is because this is where a large part of the world is moving to. Instead of being stuffed shirts in boardroom, there are people who wanting to be just them. And in business, it’s important to embrace this.

Embracing people difference is important because in a world where everyone is the same can lead to intentional overlooking of issues within the company. However, when you have a grow of people who embrace their differences, a company can operate within true potential. Instead of puffed up people who are constantly battling for others’ jobs or parking lot.

Allowing people to be them, obviously within a guidance of corporate decorum, we see our strengths and weaknesses as an organization. And therefore can move forward with building on solid foundation.

For example, if you are a CEO looking to go into a new market, but know that your employees are already operating at full capacity (and not just saying that), you know you have two options:  (1) hire more people to enter into the market; or (2) back out of the new venture.

Business (for me) is about providing a quality product or service that will change the world while make a significant profit. So l look to achieve these goals in an efficient manner. And if that efficiency is about letting others be them while we all accomplish the same goal, I’m all for it!

KEY TAKE AWAYS:  

Allowing people in the business to be them is about company growth. There has to be some guidelines in place for corporate functioning. But, for the most part, we have to allow others to be them while moving towards a collective goal.

How to handle your divorce?

Going through a divorce is never an easy process to initiate. I’ve been through one. You make a vow to stick with someone for the rest of your life. And then all of sudden, you find yourself arguing everyday and totally loathing the presence of the person.  So I’m writing this blog post to hopefully help others who are thinking about going through this process; or those who have started the process already.   I handle a few divorce cases and I’ve learned prearranged agreement is always better. I think too many times spouses are wanting to get the most out of a divorce. But, in the process they drain their personal finances. People see a lot of high-net-worth individuals on social media and television getting divorces. You see the ridiculous amounts of money for child support and alimony.  However, in everyday life, people don’t have access to millions of dollars and multibillion dollar companies.  With that being said, my encouragement a lawyer is to make sure you to work out an agreem

When a founder leaves from a legal perspective?

In a world of venture capitalism, tech company selling, and Shark Tank; it is important to make sure that the transition is done well legally.  Not too many founders and/or acquiring companies think the transitioning through regarding a founder leaving the company. When the founder of a business leaves, there are several legal considerations to keep in mind in order to keep the business going.   And when we mean keeping the business going, we are taking about growth.

This may include designating a successor, creating a buy-sell agreement, or establishing a board of directors. Review of Contracts: Make sure to review any contracts that the founder was party to and determine if there are any provisions that may be affected by their departure.   Not too many times do companies t

When your hardwork isn't paying off?

 How many times have we felt like we’ve been beating our head against a wall?  When your hard work isn't paying off, it can be helpful to step back and reassess your approach. Here are a few things you can try: Set specific, measurable goals: Make sure you know what you're working towards and how you'll know when you've achieved it. Get feedback: Ask for feedback from others and use it to improve.  However, it is important to make sure you get feedback from ‘right’ person. I mean, you know what they say about opinions. But, if you have the right team around you, it might be useful to gain feedback.  Learn from failure: Failure can be a valuable learning opportunity. Don't be afraid to take risks and experiment.  Some might say ‘fail fast.’ I recommend to at least execute on something.  Stay positive and focus on progress: Remember that progress, not perfection, is the goal.  If you refer back to the ‘set specific, measurable goals.’ I think too many people fail in l
