I couldn't agree more with what you said and the sentiment behind your dads words. I gave serious consideration to printing this post out and having my staff read it. I am going to er on the side of caution and not be "in their face" with it, but I am constantly trying to instill this type of true work ethic in them. My desire is to help those with ethic issues grow into a hard worker. Not giving the 100% that one is capable of is a business killer for sure. Thanks again!

I'm with you Cory. I got sucked into the bad attitude at a previous job and realized that as long as I wasn't giving 100% at what I was doing *I* wasn't happy. Once I went back to always doing my best, and then some, I looked forward to getting up and going to work. Now as a small business owner, I give that same 100% to my clients. That means I don't give low-ball quotes to get new customer or project. It works both ways: I know what I'm working on is worth money for the time, and my clients know that they are paying for a premium service and those high expectations raise the standard of the content, our communications, and everything about the project.
