Working from home today I planned on beginning the morning catching up on my blog posts. I had topics, notes and research and was ready to write. Then the leaf blowers started. I switched gears to some items that require less concentration. When the phone rang I was glad I picked up a wireless extension so I could move around the house to find the spot where the noise was least noticeable.
Three hours later the landscaping crews seem to have moved on to another neighborhood. When I launched into the brave new world of self employment I was surprised to learn that lawns need to be cleared professionally practically every day. Some people who work from home told me that some days they just close the door and turn on the air conditioner.
I have always liked the change of seasons. I dont mind the winter and the cold, snow shovels are pretty quiet. But its the first day of spring and even if the thermometer is not cooperating around here the landscape crews are out.
Leaf blowers have generated controversy throughout the US for their noise levels, emissions and dust residue. While there are differing opinions about leaf blower impact on the environment a growing number of counties and local governments have enacted legislation to limit their use. I live a town with laws defining hours for all leaf blower use to limit noise within a county that last year set emissions standards for contractors. I cant tell if its quieter this year.
I read a column by a writer who recommended heavy duty headphones. That would make it hard for me to hear the ringing phone when a client calls. I could install flashing lights for the phone or invest in a headphone system that works with the phone.
Today I dont have a recommendation or solution or answer. Like the employee who needs to be listened to, I just needed to talk, or in my case write.
A few days ago, my son asked me for some help with an assignment that required a parents involvement. Sometimes I derive great joy from reading the material thats handed out to my kids; it gives me a glimpse into a world that I rarely get to see (except when I used to sub). So I was intrigued when I was reading about cooperative group work and found discovered the Fortune 500 List of Desirable Skills. They are ranked in order with corresponding rankings for 1976. Here they are with todays ranking listed first and the ranking for 1976 in parentheses: Teamwork, 1 (10) Problem Solving, 2 (12) Interpersonal Skills, 3 (13) Oral Communications, 4 (4) Listening Skills, 5 (5) Personal/Career Development, 6 (6) Creative Thinking, 7 (7) Leadership, 8 (8) Goal Setting/Motivation, 9 (9) Writing Skills, 10 (1) Organizational Effectiveness, 12 (2) Reading Skills, 13 (3) As a writer, Im sort of stunned that writing is number 10. Actually, I must have been really disappointed and disbelieving even, because the first time I typed in the numbers I transposed them so that writing came in at number 1. So teamwork is the big winner and I suppose that one of the qualities my sons teacher is trying to teach. Do we take what we learn in school and apply it to our workplaces? I think so. What about the team you dont get to choose, however? Do you put in your all for those types of groups as well? Youd better, and thats probably the biggest lesson of all. Working with people we wouldnt necessarily select if given the choice can teach us so much in the long run. Indeed, you dont have to like the people you work with, but I think you do need to respect them and their roles in the company. Its takes some growing up to get to that point, but its also a really good lesson in recognizing that its okay to collaborate at work and leave it all at that. But getting back to the list above. Take a look and see whats important to you. Forget about the rankings if you can and think about the skills that help you move ahead in your career and ones that make your job interesting.

Running a coffee shop will be a lot easier if you have all the right equipment and the knowledge of its mechanics. In addition to this, several coffee shop owners have attested that it is the interior design as well as the surrounding that contribute to a coffee shops success.
Facebook Tweet Google Share LinkedIn Pinterest Email
These owners emphasized that the interior designs must not only be good but excellent, that the surroundings must not only be attractive but also comfortable.There are people who are willing and more than prepared to pay more than what their coffees originally cost. These people are your target customers and you must attract them in any kind of way you can. You can start by properly running your coffee shop.
Seek The Help Of Professional Designer Since the appearance of your coffee shop is one big factor on making your shop a hit to your customers, hiring a professional designer is never a waste of money. These designers are sometimes called shop fitters. Unless you are a graduate of interior design or you have undergone the same training, it is very important to seek the help of professional designers when grooming your coffee shop. This is because even the greatest coffee shop owners still sought for their help, so you might as well do the same. Let them do the planning of the interior design as well as the layout and you do the running of your coffee shop. This way, you will be more focused on developing effective ways on how to run your shop.
Space Is Important If you are about to run a coffee shop, you have to take into consideration the space that you are going to place the shop. It must be big enough for 60 seats, any lesser than that and you might be bankrupt. You also have to consider the sizes of the table, more specifically on the number that it will be able to hold. It is ideal for you to purchase small tables meant for two people at first. The shape of your table must also be addressed. It must be practical that when there you have a group of customers, you can easily put the tables together in order to accommodate them. However, most often than not, most of your customers will come in pairs so it is advisable for you to buy tables for two. Never waste space, one example of wasting it is to have two people sit with a table meant for four.
Other Things To Consider Consider also having an external area where people can smoke freely. When it comes to hiring your staff, do it on two stages. The first stage is for you to select those who are capable of supervising. The second stage is to ask for your already hired supervisors to assist you with interviewing the floor candidates of your coffee shop.
