** Hope you like my new look. I have added pages above that will give you more information about me and my Life Coaching services. Thanks for stopping by.**
I want to bring this topic to a close. Feel free to continue to leave comments and based upon those, I may pick the issue back up. I realize that I have hit a nerve here and this is a topic on the hearts and minds of millions of others as well. Here is where I want to go today.
What would it feel like to be able to do your job from anywhere you were able to. Of course, this wouldnt apply to an assembly line or manufacturing type of position, but there are millions working in offices and cubicles all around the world that if given the freedom, could do their work from anywhere and be more productive.
Let me tell you about a work model, that if it were used more today, would revolutionize the attitudes of employees everywhere. Less turnover and higher productivity means a big fat bottom line, and employees that are happy and families that are stronger.
Employers, you really need to look at changing your model. If you don’t you will lose in the end. You will lose good people, you will lose credibility, you will lose integrity and character because the work model that you force upon your people is ruining families. Inflexibility is killing your people. Open your eyes. God have mercy on you.
In this article, Business Week features the electronic retail giant Best Buy. This shows how a very large, and I mean very large company, can make the changes to influence and promote what is really important in their business, their people and their families.

Plan – Build – Live
Rick – It seems to me that most employers don’t care about you or your family. Their main conern is their pocketbook. They may throw in some worthless benefits that don’t really do you any good, but it’s just eye candy. It makes them look good. It’s all part of the new global economy that fills the pockets of just a few while the others scrape by. It’s like they’re robots. Thank you sir, may I have another!

Here’s the problem: It’s not ALL about the bottom line. It’s about 70% bottom line and 30% ego trip. If it were 100% bottom line, if you could do your job from home, they’d send you home and sell the building and all the contents. That would rid them of the costs of having people in a building, which is expensive. But see, a lot of people like to have employees to look at. And more importantly, they want employees to look at them. Anyway, I rest my case.
