Every CEO of their companies needs to learn this. The economic inequality is getting out of hand.
Feel free to share it with anyone you think might benefit from it!
No pain no gain in lot of things. Everything tradeoff
Well said! "Tradeoff" is a great way to think about it, because it's always a choice.
Get uncomfortable and #EmbraceTheSuck!
haha, well said!
I've got to turn off those notifications! What a BFO I just had!!!
Yes!! It's a productivity killer!
I know you can’t help this, but everything about your face is telling me not to trust you.
You are welcome to disagree with my business tips, and you don't have to trust me if you don't want to, but unfounded insults based on my looks shows who really lacks good character.
@@KarieKaufmann I’m not disagreeing. I think that some people just have untrustworthy looking faces. I’m not even trying to insult you.
Great video. Rolex ADs get a bad rep, but in my experience they are always great ambassadors to the brand. We are not on this earth very long and its so important to treat your fellow man as yourself would like to be treated.
Well said, @CTizer ! The simplest acts of kindness can make someone's day... and maybe turn them into a raving fan!

So true! Technical experts do struggle with this.
Absolutely! The better you are at something, the harder it is to manage other people at that thing. Thanks for your comment. :)
The good old employers' loyalty from the 1960ies is long gone. Your video shows that it's employers who destroyed loyalty, not the employees. It's a hierarchy: employees depend on employers for their livelihood. Employers take more money home then they need for a living and employees are their tools to achieve that.
I'm sure there are plenty of bad employers out there, but implying that all business owners only care about themselves and not their team is simply not true. That is like saying all employees only care about themselves - which also isn't true. Good people care about people. The companies I work with genuinely care about their employees and take great care of them, and that builds loyalty in both directions. But yes, it's true that employees have to do their jobs and can't expect businesses to afford their payroll if they don't perform. If you want to show up and do the bare minimum and don't care about the customer, you can stay working for the bad employers.
@@KarieKaufmann Everybody cares for him or herself first naturally. Statistically, what I'm stating is true. Millenials and Gen Z know that they should always apply, even if they have a job at the moment and have a stream of offers coming in always to have a plan B ready. If you give only peanuts, you'll only get monkeys. I'm happy about every employer who is not for the profit first, but those barely exist these days. Here in Germany after WWII, the attitude of employers was different because nobody had nothing and everybody started from zero again. Back in those days, sustainability of businesses was the prime objective, but of course that has changed due to wealth and businesses having become too big to fail.
when you need to meet the word requirement on an essay
?
Awesome video, Karie!
Thanks @Gerrywidmer ! It was such a great experience for us!
Examples??
It could be drinking bad coffee until you hit the goal, or making a donation to a political party you dislike, or shaving your head... you get to decide if it's serious or humorous, but it just needs to cost you something - whether that's time, money, disappointment, or a little embarrassment! The key is that the consequence is something you will work like mad to avoid. Hope that helps! @wonderingwildwanderingrose
@@KarieKaufmann thanks
Sorry for the essay. One problem I have is in regards to someone, who is in an industry I want to get into, saying that they’re busy and myself feeling guilt about having an issue with it. I was told by a person that they’ll be emailing me on a specific day. I was incredibly excited because I thought this might finally be my opportunity to get my foot in the door. Sadly when that day arrived, I received no response. I followed up two days later but got no response to that either. I indeed knew that they saw my message but still received nothing. It has been almost two weeks now. Since then, the person has been very active on their business social media page, but it wouldn’t annoy me as much if they didn’t make it known that they’re passionate about helping people out. When I asked another person about it, I pretty much got told off in a very kind way. I was told that the person is very busy and that she is a freelance and a business owner, and I felt as if I was the one being viewed as unreasonable and unfair. Is it unreasonable to expect someone to take the time to send an email especially so when they said first that they would do so? I had made sure to give them some time to respond acknowledging that they’re busy. To me, it reminded me of that friend who tells you that they can’t hang out or that they’re sick and then later you see on their social media that they’re hanging out with other people. Or the person who says they’re super busy but they’ll talk about how they binged a netflix show. I fear now that I have already soured a professional relationship before it has even started, and that any future interaction will be awkward. I’d love to know your thoughts on it and whether you think I should rightfully be annoyed or if I’m being unreasonable. If this had happened in any other profession, it would be criticised, and I don’t believe it would be excused by saying that they’re busy and no one certainly would place a feeling of unreasonable on the person expecting the email.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I agree that the professional and polite thing to do would be for a person to keep their commitments and respond. However, I've found that I'm happier in life when I choose to assume the other person had good intentions but is human and makes mistakes, then I can move on to other people/opportunities where my time and energy are better spent. So yes, you probably have the right to be annoyed, but you seem like a focused and motivated person, so I'd encourage you to protect your peace of mind and focus on other steps you can take to pursue your goal. Wish you all the best! @ottz2506
Thank you for your response! I try to be fair and patient with people but there are indeed times when I feel like I need to step back and assess whether all that is being exploited or taken advantage of. @@KarieKaufmann
Heck yeah look who's back! 😁😁😁
haha, thanks!! I've never stopped creating content, but yes, I have been a little quiet on KZread, other than #shorts. Glad ya missed me!! :)
Even the most well performed employees get laid off. It's all about managing the company books to ensure profits outweigh the cost of doing business. If you as an employee are too expensive to keep, regardless of your performance, you get the boot. Companies don't care about you that deeply and you're an asset until your considered a liability.
Unfortunately companies cannot make payroll with money they don't have, but that's not what this video is about.

2:01 turn down the damn music maybe???
Hey I am in High School and I have this small devilery business. So basically I buy your lunch and give you and they pay me for it. The money is good but how do I keep them loyal to prevent competition.
Well not a leader but I’ll be nice just to avoid conflict
Without self confrontation, there's no chance of growing up. As a leader, it's your desire and goal to see people actually grow up, so you make them self-reflect and try to inspire them, hoping they decide (by and for themselves) they want to do what's necessary to go forward and beyond and reward them for their good results and attitude. And something else to add, if you don't make people pay for their mistakes and be responsible for them, someone else might. So, teaching resilience in the face of adversity and gracefulness in the face of defeat, without punishing/humiliating them could make them stronger and better human beings. Humans cannot remake theselves without suffering, for they are both the marble and the sculptor :)
Thank you both for your comments. @Shannon Unicorn - most conflicts aren't worth engaging in, so you are probably wise to avoid unnecessary conflicts! But to echo @@davidbaigorria5847 's point, what I'm referring to is caring enough to help people, even if it's uncomfortable. Even if you're not a boss, I'm sure you can find opportunities to be a leader wherever you are. :) Best wishes to you both!
you should be honest you don't care about his success you care about company profit, I'm not saying it's bad thing but why do you talk about loyalty it's job I'm exchanging my service for paycheck there shouldn't be any loyalty on these equation
What would make you assume that I don't care about the people who work for me? Good leaders are also good humans who genuinely care about people, not just profit. At least that is how I operate, and the companies I work with feel the same. That being said, performance still matters. So even if it is time for someone to move on, it can still be done with kindness and care for the person's wellbeing and future success.
I think the difference maker is how you handle the conversation to begin with and accessing the situation on the history of the employee. For newbies or repeat offenders, I talk to them like a drill sergeant, and give ample detail how exactly they're screwing me and my company over. For good ones that just start slacking and/or acting out overtime, I talk to them and provide help to them if needed. I might even move them around etc. Some people are worth salvaging. You can't handle every situation the same. The one thing you don't wanna do is treat a good employee badly. I've seen managers do this and literally bankrupt a multimillion dollar business.
I definitely agree that not every person/situation is the same. This video is specifically about repeat offenders, to which you have already given coaching or feedback, and their performance improves temporarily, then declines again. The key is that it's a negative pattern of behavior, despite your efforts to help them improve.
“BE A BETTER SLAVE FOR MINIMUM WAGE” Fk you and your matrix.
That's not what I said. I'm an advocate of taking great care of team members and paying them well. In exchange, I also expect people to do the job they are being paid for. It's mutual respect between humans.
The problem with your explanation is in today's society ninety-nine percent of people just don't care for the sole reason of the prices of everything went up but the wages they are not there to work for you but they're there to work for them and if you give them crap for not working 100% of their performance then you're probably not giving them the wages that they should be in today's society. And another problem the minimum wage can't pay all of your bills then there's no point to a minimum wage
That's a lot of assumptions to make about 99% of society and companies. Most of my clients have little to no minimum wage positions on staff - all their people are paid well above that. There are millions of good companies paying fair wages and expecting people to do the job they are being paid for. It's a win-win. I'm sure bad companies exist that act how you described... but it's not 99% of them.

Too busy means too uninterested, too lazy, too much better than you.
Yes, it can certainly mean all of those things! It can also mean that we don't plan our time well, despite having the best intentions. Either way, as a leader, it creates a culture of excuses!

Short and sweet with everything I needed to know. Definitely a starter personally. Somehow it comes naturally to separate the wheat from the chaff very quickly on overwhelmingly big tasks (and they are the right decisions looking back at the from hindsight) But I do struggle to keep going past that 80% mark of accomplishment because I sense that the journey is completed to a satisfactory degree, and because I’ve burst out all the energy over the past few months then there just isn’t any energy I can give out any further without taking a significant break/rest. If there’s any natural finishers out there that want to contribute to their side of the coin then please do share with your insights to this topic. I’d be very happy to hear from you : )
Hi @Tom, as a finisher, I have a couple thoughts for you: 1) is it possible to delegate the last mile of some of your projects, if you set it up well and can give clear direction on what is needed to finish it up? 2) Before you begin a project, clearly write down with the "finished" version should look like so it has a clear objective. If you stay focused on the outcome (not just the steps) it might help you to stay engaged enough to see it through and break through that satisfactory level of completion. 3) If you need a break before coming back to complete a project, take it! :) Hope that helps! I'm happy to hear others' opinions as well!
Thank you for this video. Absolutely honest!
thank you!
Superb 🌟 Mam could u tell how to start & get freelancing clients quickly as a design construction engineer bcoz there are not much projects in my field which are given to freshers without 2yrs of experience in execution of design so how can i get through this problem & thrive in the uncertain phase ?
Hi @Mohib, I have several videos on this channel on sales & marketing that might help. I can see how becoming a freelancer without much experience is challenging. You might consider aligning yourself with firms that are understaffed - perhaps they can bring you on as an employee to help you get the experience you need, or outsource overflow work to you as a freelancer. Hope that helps!
