In this episode of Coach's Corner, Art and Dan talk about how to pursue and attain greatness, and toss out the whole notion of just wanting or trying to be good enough.

Dan and Art are starting a brand new series of 3 to 4 minute videos specifically on building your team and creating synergy within your company. 

You would be surprised how many companies skip things as simple as showing their new employees around the building, and where the bathroom is!

After the initial hiring of a new team member, the onboarding process is the obvious next step, and critically important to effectively bring a new person into the company.

Art and Dan dig deeper to talk about the actual heart and essence of your customer service philosophy.

People come to your business for a solution - which many other people offer - so why should they choose you over the competition?

Just as you do on-boarding for your own employees, you should also be sure your subcontractors understand your policies and philosophies.

We are into the 13th episode of Dan and Art's series on team building! This week, they're talking about structure and synergy in your company, and within your team.

Art and Dan give you a checklist to do a wellness check on your structure - including policies, culture, and services.

The more disgruntled your team, the more they focus on money (paychecks). The better the synergy, the less money is the key motivator for doing good work.

In this episode, the pair talks about helping nurture and grow an employee's potential that they may not see in themselves.
