BusinessWISE

Believe it or not, the joy, liveliness and productivity of your group stems from sound, authorized policy, and the source of insanity in your group stems from illegally set, random, counter-policy.  Sounds good, but as you read this, you might wonder what the heck we’re really talking about.   You are about to dig into one of the most important subjects in all of management, POLICY!

This is episode four of our series on L. Ron Hubbard’s phenomenal discovery and delineation of the ADMIN SCALE.  In the last episode, we discussed PURPOSES, but no discussion on that subject would be complete without describing and providing the solution for FAILED PURPOSES.  If you want to achieve anything worthwhile, you better learn how to deal with FAILED purposes, or you probably won’t get th...

This is our third episode on Mr. Hubbard’s ADMINISTRATIVE SCALE OF IMPORTANCES, and in this one we tackle the all-important subject of PURPOSES- CLARIFICATION OF.  This is a hidden factor that means the difference between success and failure for any of your executives or employees, and even for your entire organization.  Don’t underestimate it!

This is our second episode on the ADMIN SCALE.  We start with the first in sequence and the MOST IMPORTANT level of the scale; the level of goals and goal making.   This point is make or break as far as your dreams are concerned.  It’s the difference between you having a thriving, booming, expanding business and a game that is YOUR creation or being anchored to what may have started as a dream but...

No topic has been more requested than an episode on L. Ron Hubbard’s famous “Administrative Scale of Importances”, or “Admin Scale” for short.   I can’t blame you for that, one could almost describe it as the backbone of the Hubbard management system!   But it is a pretty big subject, so we are going to have to cover it in sections.  Here is Part One!

If you have been listening to BusinessWISE, you are probably aware that we put a lot of emphasis on the definition of terms.   One term you better fully understand is the word “entrepreneur”, especially if you are or are trying to be one.  You’re about to discover that there is more to this than you thought.  In this episode you will learn Mr. Hubbard’s thoughts on the entrepreneur, and how they a...

Income is of intense interest to most members, isn’t it?   So much so that those BusinessWISE episodes that focus on income we make sure to designate as INCOME BOOSTERS so you can easily dig them out of the archives.  This week’s episode is certainly an income booster, and one could almost describe it as a vital one that underlies all others.  Give it a listen and you will find out why.

Every now and again we are forced to speak to you in expletives.  I’m sorry, there is just no way around this one.  We have chosen this celebration of Labor Day to discuss a critical subject using language that at the very least can be counted on to get a few disapproving looks.   Too bad.  In for a penny, in for a pound, we like to say around here.  Let’s see how you do with it!

This is the episode l wish we didn’t have to do, but we do.   If you are going to build and administer an organization, or many organizations, if you are going to lead in any quarter of society, or if you just want to get along in life, you better know about the criminal mind.  Listen to this episode as though your life depends on it, because it might. 

Almost any real professional will tell you the same thing: high-level skill is acquired only after one masters the fundamentals of the subject.  But Mr. Hubbard discovered a fundamental that underlies all the rest.  Start with this one, and there is nothing you can’t handle.

How many great executives do you know?  Are you one of them?  Are you competent at MAKING a great executive?  If you’re not, you may be counting on prayer or resigning yourself to a life of being “irreplaceable” in your own business.  No need, there are simplicities in this subject.  Learn some of them in this episode.

You have been tempted, I am pretty sure, by one or more of three things that if you go there, you are looking at a painful demise for your business and your dreams.  They may come from the devil, they may come from somewhere else, but you better know and know how to deal with them if you want to achieve success!  

The number of downloads per episode is an interesting survey of what you, our listeners, want to hear about.  There are reliable topics, like marketing and finance, that we can pretty much count on being a hit.  This week’s episode is not one of those topics.  But you know what?   YOU NEED THIS TOPIC WAY MORE THAN YOU THINK!!  So much so that we are talking about it anyway.  Let us know if you dig...

How successful would you be if you could predict the future?  What if you could know about a calamity that will befall you before it happened so that you could prevent it, or recognize an opportunity that will reward you, and take advantage of it?  You can. Listen to this episode.

This episode was issued as one of the first BusinessWISE podcasts in 2020, right at the start of the lockdowns.   Feedback on this one was huge as member after member wrote in, thanking us for putting some very important stable data there for them in a time of chaos.  Well, if you appreciated it then, you might appreciate it even more now.  This is also a very important episode to have under your...

Let’s face it, who amongst us doesn’t get deluged with bad news from time to time?   Some of us more than others.   But what many don’t realize is that bad news is telling you something very precise about your organization, and if you heed the indicator, you can use it to make your company stronger and far more successful.

There are three things you MUST expect from every employee.  These are the three things that tell you whether you have someone to promote, demote, or dismiss.  If you don’t know them, personnel is a nightmare of maybe’s, could a’s, should a's, would a’s, and “I don’t knows”.  If you do, it becomes pretty simple.  Learn them in this week’s episode.    

Being as the 4th of July, the anniversary of American Independence, lands on our weekly release day, we thought it only appropriate to publish an episode that not only has relevance to your success as an entrepreneur but has everything to do with your personal freedom as well.

Do you think you know what the most wanted commodity is in an expanding population?  I am pretty sure the answer will surprise you, but the more you think about it, the more you will recognize it to be so.   This week’s episode features one of the most important articles Mr. Hubbard ever wrote about management and administration.

We have covered points 1 to 10 of GROUP SANITY from Mr. L Ron Hubbard's article of that same name, one point per episode.  These are the exact points of insanity in groups that, remedied, bring sanity, prosperity, and expansion.  You need to know them very, very well. But there is one final. and essential element that you must know, and one that is a natural consequence of all earlier points being...

The subject of money is always of interest, but with this episode we introduced the subject of MORALE, a far more important topic than most entrepreneurs realize.

We are approaching now the final points, the final episodes, covering the 11 points of group aberration that, when solved, lead to GROUP SANITY.   This is point number 10, and on this we take a visit to the most violent, the most vicious of them all.  The one resorted to when the earlier 9 are ignored.  One should learn all about it, that is unless one doesn’t care about losing one’s precious head...

We have been covering the points of group sanity from Mr. L. Ron Hubbard, one per episode. In this one, we tackle a subject that has taken its toll on both human sadness and human madness.  Learn how to establish and maintain success in the area of money and finance, while keeping yourself and your group from going nuts. 

Your business has a spot of particular vulnerability, an Achilles heel.  Of all the points of GROUP SANITY that we have spoken of so far, this is the one that mishandled will take you right out of the game.  Make sure you give it a listen!

What is your experience with sales?   Do you like it?  Are you a salesperson?   Are you responsible for hiring and running salespeople?  If you have dealt with this subject at all, you have likely seen the good, the bad and the ugly.  If you don’t deal with sales, and you are an entrepreneur, you definitely should.  Get a grip on sales as a subject with this episode.
