I made a U-turn when I turned fifty a few months ago. I simply realized that I was finally living the way I wanted rather than considering what others might want.
Simple but not always easy. Over the years, I have trained all the people in my life to think of me as the “go to” person. In fact, I did such a fine job that people handed off their problems before they made an attempt to solve the issues themselves. This was especially true at work. So the only one really excited about the U-turn was me.
It took some time before everyone understood the change in direction was permanent, but my company is stronger now as a result. I have handed off the busywork that had kept me from doing the important stuff. But it isn’t enough to delegate. My staff still needs access to information to help them make better decisions and be more effective players.
iBusinessChannel fills that need. For example, my company is considering government contracts and how we might be able to expand our market to the military. The "Government-Business Partnership" is a great program and resource that provides insight into this industry. Additionally, I don’t have the time to read all the business books that catch my eye so I will be tuning in to “Cover Stories”, a show on iBusinessChannel that highlights authors and motivators in various fields of business.
For my business, the employee responsible for bookkeeping should be extremely familiar with the fundamentals of fiscal management so they can liaise with the accountant and accurately relay the information I need. Luckily, iBusinessChannel has an insightful program focusing on finance to assist the novice to the more seasoned professional.
iBusinessChannel...It’s one-stop shopping. Now if they only had all the information I need for working with my teenage daughter…
