How do you give your business partner a kick up the…?
My business partner in General Lamps is the type of person we all want on out team. 100% loyal, hard working, intelligent, strong sector knowledge, focused, committed … the list can go on.
I have for over a year now said we really need to put some significant investment in time and money into our web presence. Let’s not be naive and say it will be a pot of gold, but it is the way forward in the business of light bulb distribution.
I am finding it frustrating that meetings have been canceled or not set up in the first place, that we have not even documented a plan, or started work on this project. To be fair, the company has achieved many great things over the last year and just gone through a major software installation, and we have had a very profitable web presence for five years.
Today we are meeting. I really do hope that we can kick start this idea. It can be difficult for me being the sleeping partner, especially when you are not even a director of the business. I do not want to interfere or de-motivate him by barking out orders. He is in charge not me. However, somehow, I need to give him a gentle kick and get our new website up and running as a matter of urgency. This business could make us a million in three years if we put our minds to it.
But first, I am off to see my Dad who is 80 today. Happy Birthday Dad!
