HR & Airline

A total different two topics: HR and Airline; but something unavoidable.  

Hiring might seem easy but I would say it is rather difficult; as Don Rainey mentioned in his article " 8 things I wish I knew before starting a business," I truly agree that good employees are really hard to find; not only you have to get someone to fit the job description, be flexible in the start-up environment, willing to be trained and learn new things, and need them to contribute too!  And that is not the most difficult one when coming to letting go someone that does not perform well.  It is not something someone too sentimental or emotional can do, period

Thank God that we have someone here that can handle much of the office work so I can go focus on customer building and strategy!  I really appreciate you Sone! 



We will talk about Airline next time!


By the way, ecoVegan is looking for suitable candidate to join our team.  See our website Career section!  Thanks to Zoho Recruit; for small business owners if you have not tried it you should now!

Another Userful Tool for Entrepreneurs - Micro Mentor

I have just recently discovered Micro Mentor, this online mentor-ship community that helps out another entrepreneur; something I thought pretty useful for this stage.  

LinkedIn has forum/ group that you can also post and get replies; and that is already well-established.  I personally like the smaller community where there will be more interactions. 

SCORE/ SBA was helpful in the very beginning, but as ecoVegan moves further and we need more complicated answers to the challenge we are facing now, a general consultant will not be able to do so; so that's why I am trying Micro Mentor.  


In this society it is always about taking and giving back; so I encourage if you also want to share your knowledge in your specific industry, Micro Mentor would be a great place to encourage the liked-minded individual entrepreneurs be successful through guidance! 


Good Luck!
