80/20 Principle in Entrepreneurship
To work effectively and profitably in business our 20% input of work should yield 80% output. 1. Where is the 20% input in your daily work either at home or in business that returns 80% rewards? 2.

Involve your employees in your business
You may be saying - but I do involve my employees in my business...but do you? Of course your employees to do the work of the business and the employees, with the right direction, make any business great as it expands, but there are not many business owners that involve their employees in helping with important decisions. I would suggest that you ask them their opinion on various expansion ideas or where you are looking at introducing new products or services get their input on this. Also, ask them how to improve on customer service, especially those employees that are on the front line, as it were...as these are the ones that are dealing with the customers directly and are therefore likely to give you some of the best feedback.
