The Power to Influence Your Employees
I am honored to be a business coach for over 10 years, working with different companies, small business, mid size, and fortune 500 companies. The most common denominator I have found with countless sessions with business owners and employees is the power of influence.
Who has the most influence on your employees? Business owners, this is a very important question! Do your employees get the most influence from co-workers, teachers, friends, peer pressure, next door neighbors, church, parents, or is it YOU?!
This is a very important question to ask: Because, business owners, if you don’t have an influence over your employees in a positive way… someone else will. That is why gaining rapport with your employees is so important…. It’s a MUST!
If you cannot influence your employee, the trouble-making employee would love to do the job for you. How can you gain back that trust- influence with your employee?
I have seen too many cases in my career that indicate that the business owners didn’t have a bond/connection with their employee. This will cause low morale, along with a high rate of turnover. I have seen so many cases where the employee was put in a position of no return.
Business owners: it’s a MUST to influence your employee! It’s necessary to take the Building A Strong Rapport with Your Employees seriously. What is peer pressure? Why do you believe your employee is involved in peer pressure? Maybe because someone has more influence than someone else does, maybe your employee wants to feel connected.
Do your employees listen to personal development tapes? What influence do your employees music have on their behavior? Remember the session on Building A Strong Rapport with Your Employees, and how we can connect with anyone through using words, tempo, tonality, and physiology.
My belief is that the music your employee listens to on a regular basis can shape their destiny. That is why it is so important to listen to personal development tapes or something inspirational on a daily basis. We need to find ways to influence our employee’s, gain rapport with them, and gain back the trust with our employee.

Women Entrepreneur Tips
- Thank you LeoOliveros,
I found #4 particularly true in my case:
4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks.
As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.
Re: Ways to Boost Productivity

Success Strategies
- How to get the results you want now?
Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are:
The Power of Choice
Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this.
The Power of Focus
The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives.
The Power of Commitment
This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.

The Power of Ten
- Do you want to save money and time? Make the most of your marketing efforts? The Power of Ten™ is about taking the concepts of repurposing and leveraging “to the max”. It allows you to innovate and discover new possibilities for any marketing you already have in place. Here’s how it works:
Make a list of the most recent 10 marketing items you’ve created or paid to have created. If you don’t have any materials, you can simply list the pieces you plan on creating.
Now pick one. It could be an article, ad, poster, anything you have used recently as a marketing tool. Take a fresh look at it. Brainstorm and free write until you find at least 10 different ways to use that piece. You can do this with as many pieces as you want, but for now start with just one.
It’s amazing how much time, effort and money you can save using The Power of Ten™.
Below is an example using The Power of Ten™ with this very article. Even a very short piece, such as this, can benefit from The Power of Ten™. Here are some ways I can use this tip:
1) It’s part of a new marketing program I’m creating that may be called Marketing Full Circle.
2) It’s on my blog.
3) I can tweet it (knowing that it will show up on LinkedIn and many other sites which display tweets).
4) I can go over to LinkedIn and post it to a group.
5) I can it to my ezine subscribers.
6) I will send it to my clients.
7) If it is a longer article, I can try submitting it to an Article Bank, or two, or three.
It started out as part of an answer on Focus.com
9) Eventually it will be part of an eBook on marketing tips.
10) I mention the concept often at speaking engagements.
