Reverse the 1,2.3's Employees First, STOP HUNTING!

everybody um quick little video we're actually in the middle of Vayner day which was an opportunity for me to uh give a three-hour keynote to my organization here at Vayner media the 195 employees and talk about where we're going and what we're doing as a company and kind of get everybody on the same page and it was awesome and now we're kind of having a party and everybody's drinking fine wine and uh playing games and board games and getting together interacting a lot of people meeting each other we have a lot of new employees and felt very compelled to make a video I'm on the video kick as you guys know I've been missing you guys and so here's what I wanted to talk about I think people have It reversed the one 123s I think the one 123s are reversed for so many people I think a lot of people think about their businesses as employees C customers and potential customers and I do believe that most people are in hunting mode at all times and they're looking for new business where do I get new customers how people to buy wine for me how do I get people to uh buy their home from me get me a new person to uh buy my software or the product I'm selling or read my blog it's new new new customer number one uh number two current customers and often times number three employees and I think it's time people flip the 321 after spending more time today at just another probably the 600th reminder I've had this week that we cannot win Jack crap unless the culture and the people in this building fight for each other and we're a cohesive unit I truly believe that the reason I've had a lot of success in my careers in different businesses and very much on our way with this one is the team first employees number one not number three uh and then after that I want to say employees again employees after that current customers they tend to stay in number two and then in last place is new business I just think people are way too infatuated with new business they've got it flip their employees are an afterthought an expense an overhead and I just think you got it [ __ ] up if that's the way you think about it if you care about your team and you Empower them and you create the culture and you force them to play nice with each other and that's a key creating that culture where they play nice with each other and they respect each other and communicate with each other that's the game reverse the one two threes and I think you'll see an impact on your business just one man's POV
