I started one. Well. Am starting one. It’s hasn’t “officially” launched yet.

It’s about lost golf balls that I find around my neighborhood. (I rent in a subdivision surrounded by , I think five golf courses). I take pictures of where I find them. Give them a little description and write a little story about them sometimes.

My daughter loves it.

That’s literally the option I was presented. Thankfully since, it’s a State government organization, I have “time”. But the more I reflect, and the more feedback I get here here, I may go this route.

Autonomy. I like to work on an island. I have my tasks/objectives, I work with a team but I don’t need /want to be micromanaged.

Ensure your managers aren’t micromanagers.

An open door policy. A real one, where your employees can come to you and feel valued and heard. You may not always agree or be able to do what they want, but be an active listener.

Promote from within. If you have a team running for 6 months without a manager do you even need one?

I have always, except in one instance, changed employers due to management.

A little disjointed, but you get the idea. Sorry. On mobile.

Find a problem. Develop a solution. Sell the solution.

If you have a good solution or a good product, people will pay. There’s always a problem to be solved.
