Update from Linda
Hi – this week it’s me Linda. I am writing to at 30,000 feet somewhere over the middle of the United States. I took a couple days to meet up with some friends, relax and have a good time! I am sorry to say that I do not have any pictures to share with you – I really have to get myself a digital camera!
Before I left for vacation, I had a conversation with one of my subcontractors who had made a request that was not only very strange, it was also in direct violation of their subcontractor agreement with my company. All I had to do was to remind them of the agreement they signed and the situation was resolved. It’s a good thing I have well written agreements with both my clients, employees and subcontractors. All of my agreements contain language that protects me and my firm.
In order to grow our firms we have to leverage ourselves, which means hiring employees and/or subcontractors. When you are ready to take this step, make sure that you are protecting the business and reputation you have already built up. In this week’s article, Laurie talks about some hard earned lessons she learned about working with employees and subcontractors.
Wishing you financial serenity,
Linda & Laurie
