Break these laws

Break These Laws.   In any area of professional sports, highly penalized teams aren’t successful. Too many fouls, offsides, handballs, and holding calls eventually result in a loss. We need to understand the rules… the laws if we stand a chance of winning, especially if we want to choose which ones to break for our benefit. Our wants, needs, feelings, or interests are irrelevant to laws. Laws operate independently and neutrally. We must respect this reality and use it to our advantage.     DISCLAIMER: This Podcast is for Construction Industry Business Owners who want to strengthen themselves, and their Businesses only.

However, we still have rules and laws that must be understood, acknowledged, respected, followed, bent, and sometimes broken. A famous quote attributed to Pablo Picasso: “learn the rules, so you know how to break them” is a quote to remember. Too many people don’t understand the laws and rules of the games they are playing. In Business, we think of laws as only relative to taxation, health and safety, or building code. However, the truth is that human laws are just as important because they apply to sales, leadership, innovation, and creativity. Recognizing the difference between the laws when working on the job site versus running the company working on that job site is essential. The two are not the same. You no longer have the same role or responsibility as your employees. The law says you must understand and know what your people know, but follow the laws and rules of a business owner. As a business owner, the law says to get the best out of your people, to maximize their working potential, trust, collaboration, and attitude. Regar
