		<description>I found that...

Employee input makes workers into &#039;team players&#039;.

Brainstorming at meetings gives the employees an &#039;open forum&#039; to voice their suggestions.

Performance Bonuses gave them the incentive to &#039;go the extra mile&#039;.  It could be cash..or...the top producer gets one Friday off each month with pay.

If you&#039;re considering expanding...make it a business that will &#039;compliment&#039; the one you already have.

If you were to have a hair salon upstairs...then a nail salon and botique downstairs would compliment the business and not compete...generating more income.

If we knew what kind of business you&#039;re running, it would be easier to zone in on some other ideas.

These suggestions were what worked in my &#039;sales oriented&#039; businesses...Hope that helps, Helen &lt;:O)&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
