Soar to Success October 2016

7 / 50

We asked Michael to share the top three traits
he found in individuals that help them, “Soar
to Success.”
He shared that he is constantly evaluating
employees to grow his business and add value.
Three criteria he looks for in successful people
include:
Do they understand their own strengths and
weaknesses? Once a weakness is identified
can they work to strengthen it for the future?
Also surrounding yourself with people that
can better accomplish the tasks where you are
weak, will help keep the business grow.
Are they able to look at their own business
and life objectively? Many times new
business owners become so involved that
their business becomes like a child. It becomes
difficult to make the tough decisions, or take
steps to change or alter a business, if you are
too emotionally involved.
Number three is to constantly strive to be
the best leader possible . Building a successful
business requires a team effort. A true leader
knows how to motivate and develop a staff
that can work together to make that business
successful.

so Michael can be closer to his client base,
although he easily works with clients remotely
as well.
There aren’t too many business situations
he has not experienced. Ever changing
buying cycles, high interest rates, weak
economy, or struggles to make payroll
are all problems business owners face.
They certainly benefit when someone with
experience is available to help guide them.
Michael also experienced first-hand that
business owners need to develop staff to
handle various duties inside the business
and let go of every detail.
