Employers, this message is for you. You may not like the talent entering the workforce, but you sure haven’t made it easier and frankly, it’s time to adapt.

Want to change it? Come hang out for the Uncomfortable Conversations Skills chat. #smallbusiness #genz #talent #kimbode

Hello employers. People are the hardest part of our jobs, am I right?

We convince ourselves we have everything figured out and then a new generation comes along and it feels like we start all over. Lately it seems we’ve just decided that we’re done and I’m here to tell you that is not an option. Punishing your business because you’re unwilling to change or adapt isn’t what got us here. Come talk about it on April 28th.

Business owner success, by the world’s standards is always boiled down to one thing and one thing only - revenue. We are constantly working towards the $1 mil, then the multi-million milestone. Maybe it’s my neurodivergent brain, or maybe it’s the fact I’ve never been one to go with the flow, but I think this is bullsh*t.

...and yes I realize you have to make money, but to me, it’s not that one line on your P&L; it’s the people, the communities you invest in and the impact you have.

You can’t grow and build at the same time, not if you’re a small business, something will have to give - maybe it’s relationships, revenue or your health.

It’s the point I was making in the
Inc. Magazine article on this very topic.

“When you invest in growth, your profitability will take a hit. You can’t simultaneously grow and post record profits, especially when you are a small business. This past year, I had to take a step back to build, which meant I wasn’t out there selling, and as a result, our revenue is down. It’s your responsibility as the business owner to anticipate trends, read the economy, and plan for the worst. It’s why we expanded our business to add a complementary offering, but it’s going to be a hefty lift and require additional capital to build. Growth is painful but worth the risk. You need to believe in yourself because no one else will..”

Don’t measure your success on someone else’s definition. You get to make your own rules.

Everyone hates Gen Z...or so say employers. It really doesn`t matter if it`s true or not. Perception is reality.

Businesses are actively choosing not to hire you because of the frustrations they`ve had with your generation.

You can change, if you get real acquainted with personal branding or as I call it, your Big Deal Energy. Use your voice, story, experiences and weird to stand out - it matters.

Now...Gen X on the other hand, we`re perfect...nothing but trauma over here.

Your disadvantages are your advantages. Stop seeing your quirks, weird as something to hide. Flip the script.

What society sees as disadvantages are the exact things making you unstoppable aka resilient aka awesome.
