I have a very good (and expensive) accountant because there is loads of stuff to do with ‘numbers’ that I know nothing about. There are also loads of things which have to be done which I don’t know how to do. I can learn but I can’t be bothered – it’s not where my talents lie.

So why go learning how to do things when there are eminently more suitable people out there who can do them? Do what you’re good at and get others to so the things you can’t. Simple.

Pick really good people, and let them get on with the job of making you really prosperous.

Now here are some of my rules to making sure you (a) get the right people and (b) keep the right people.

1. Know exactly what it is you want done and who you want to do it.
2. Be very cllear about what you want them to do for you and how much you will pay and what guidlines you will give them.
3. Care about them – they are human and musn’t become a mere tool.
4. Keep them informed and motivated – inspire loyalty.
5. Tell them you long-term strategy – they too have a stake in your/their future.
6. If they muck up – and they will from time to time – then correct it and move on.
7. Praise them constantly – nothing insoires more than praise (oh, yes, and money of course).
8. Set realistic targets but don’t expect the impossible
9. Set a good example – be someone they can respect and look up to (no one likes working for an ass) – and set hogh standards and live up to to them yourself
10. Remember you’re the boss, not their friend. Try to maintain dignity, distance and authority.

That should do it. There are of course other things you can try, adapt, implement and use. All this stuff is adaptable and entirely up to you. Just make sure you treat your people well and have fun.
