How You Know You've Created the Company of Your Dreams

How You Know You've Created the Company of Your Dreams

Catherine Clifforf

 You don’t become an entrepreneur because it’s easy or convenient.

You decide to start your own business because you want your life to be meaningful,

because you want to feel like your life has a purpose,

because you are trying to build something bigger than yourself.

What does that feel like? How does it feel to chase -- and achieve -- your dream?

How do you know that you are heading in the right direction?

Finding your purpose doesn’t always come with a parade and a champagne celebration.

Sometimes it appears as a quiet, simple moment. That’s how it was for Adrian Gradinaru,

co-founder of New York City-based boat rental marketplace Sailo.

The website allows people to search, compare and book boats online.

Earlier this summer, Gradinaru was heading home one night this summer,

walking through New York City after a long day at work, when he realized he truly was doing work that provided him a sense of purpose. “I felt this interior calm that was sort of amazing,”

says Gradinaru. “It’s not about money, it’s not about profit,

I feel like we are providing a service that people are actually using and they are enjoying it.”

For one of the other co-founders, that moment of clarity came in the form of a phone call.

“One of our customers called us, this was somebody we didn’t know,

and they just told us that they had had the best day [of] their life.

And we had created a company that provided the best day of people’s lives

and that’s ultimately why we started it,” says Delphine Braas, another co-founder of Sailo.

To learn more about Sailo, and hear the co-founders talk about how it feels to discover

a sense of purpose through your work, watch the video above.

What it's like to be a young person today.

What it's like to be a young person today.

They are the largest generation in the workplace, bringing change along with them.

Weaned on keypads and cyberspace, exhibiting a comfort level with technology

difficult for other generations to fathom.

Their social skills, their expectations and demands, and the perceived gulfs between “us and them” have pegged them as vastly different from all generations before them.

Their presence can shake out a sense of complacency and fundamental assumptions

that other workers –- and entire cultures – may carry.

Millennials are remarkably similar around the world.

They like their jobs and their organizations, and they largely want the same things:

an interesting, high-paying, stable job and working with people they like, trust,

and feel appreciated by, in organizations that are socially responsible

and value them enough to provide flexibility and opportunities for growth and promotion.

The good news is that Millennials can demonstrate high degrees of commitment

to the organizations that employ them. They can be strongly motivated to contribute

and actually like the organization they are working for. They can be committed to do what it takes

o help the organization succeed, if they are engaged the right way.

What Millennials Want from Work: How to Maximize Engagement in Today's Workforce Hardcover – January 1, 2016

Jennifer J. Deal and  Alec Levenson 

The most comprehensive, in-depth look at Millennials to date―essential for managers,

HR professionals, and global business leaders seeking to align long-term organizational goals

 with the realities of the new workforce

Millennials have been burdened with a reputation as spoiled, lazy, and entitled,

but the reality behind the stereotype is far richer and more complex.

Who are Millennials and what do they really want?

Based on fieldwork and survey data from global research on more than 25,000 Millennials

and 29,000 older workers in 22 countries, this book paints a comprehensive,

scientifically accurate picture of what really motivates Millennials around the world.

Learn how to get the most from Millennials by:

• Improving workplace flexibility―because Millennials don’t separate life and work
• Providing adequate support and feedback―because Millennials like to learn and grow
• Coaching, not micromanaging―because Millennials value autonomy
• Designing competitive salary structures―because Millennials know what’s up
• Providing opportunities to contribute to society―because Millennials care about doing good

Millennials want a satisfying job that pays well, coworkers they like and trust,

advancement opportunities, and the occasional pat on the back. Who doesn’t want those things?

This essential book explains who Millennials really are, and offers practical advice to help those

who manage, lead, and work with Millennials to improve teamwork, increase productivity, strengthen organizational culture, and build a robust talent pipeline.

Jennifer J. Deal is a senior research scientist at the Center for Creative Leadership and an affiliated research scientist at the Center for Effective Organizations at the University of Southern California.

Alec Levenson is a senior research scientist at the Center for Effective Organizations

at the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.

33 Ways to Use LinkedIn for Business

33 Ways to Use LinkedIn for Business

 Meryl K Evans

Is your LinkedIn account mostly sitting idle?

You can do so much more with it than simply look up contacts: find gigs, sell products,

expand your networks, grow your business and gain free publicity.

Here are 33 ways to use LinkedIn more effectively.

Fill out your profile completely to earn trust.

Use widgets to integrate other tools,

such as importing your blog entries or Twitter stream into your profile.

Do market research and gain knowledge with Polls.

Share survey and poll results with your contacts.

Answer questions in Questions and Answers:

show expertise without a hint of self-promotion.

Ask questions in Questions and Answers

to get a feel for what customers and prospects want or think.

Publish your LinkedIn URL on all your marketing collateral,

including business cards, email signature, email newsletters, web sites and brochures,

so prospects learn more about you.

Grow your network

by joining industry and alumni groups related to your business.

Update your status examples of recent work.

Link your status updates with your other social media accounts.

Combine your social media approach:

when someone asks a question in Twitter, respond in detail on LinkedIn and link to it from Twitter.

Use the search feature

to find people by company, industry and city.

Start and manage a group or fan page for your product, brand or business.

Research your prospects before meeting or contacting them.

Share useful articles and resources that will be of interest to customers and prospects.

Don’t turn off your contacts: avoid hard-sell tactics.

Write honest and valuable recommendations for your contacts.

Request LinkedIn recommendation from happy customers willing to provide testimonials.

Post your presentations on your profile using a presentation application.

Check connections’ locations

before traveling so you can meet with those in the city where you’re heading.

Ask your first-level contacts for introductions to their first-level contacts.

Interact with LinkedIn on a regular basis

to reach those who may not see you on other social media sites.

Set up to receive LinkedIn messages in your inbox so you can respond right away.

Link to articles and content posted elsewhere,

with a summary of why it’s valuable to add to your credibility.

List your newsletter subscription information and archives.

Find experts in your field and invite them as a guest blogger on your blog or speaker at your event.

Post discounts and package deals.

Import vCards and contacts from other applications to find more connections.

Export your contacts into other applications.

Buy a LinkedIn direct ad that only your target market will see.

Post job listings to find qualified talent.

Look for connections related to a job you want.

Find vendors and contractors through connections.
