Good Evening,
I own a salon that is very popular. We offer a very specialized service which requires that we train our employees using our techniques. I tend to scout for potential employees myself by looking for hard working individuals that are usually working for minimum wage. The problem I am having is that even though I have my employees sign a non compete contract, a few have ran off and tried to compete with me and to be honest I have sued them but it seems that only the lawyers are benefiting. Lawsuits cost a lot of money and at the end of the day nothing really ends up happening. Usually the employee will stay out of site and steal our clients and funnel them to their homes. After the contract period ends they pop up without fear of retaliation since legally I cannot go after them.
This is an ongoing problem and at first I thought I had to control my employees more but obviously this isnt working to well. After reading the Millionaire Fastlane I have decided that my business is definitely a candidate for fast lane success but how can I stop my employees from getting so greedy?
They come from making peanuts to making nearly as much as a doctor without having to go to college. Meanwhile they forget where they came from and what a good opportunity it is that I gave them to change their lives. Of course I have some loyal employees but they see how the bad ones are getting away with it and sometimes I see them contemplating to follow suit.
I cant be everywhere myself and would greatly appreciate any feedback you may be able to provide.
I am currently working on my 'process' and am putting together an operation manual as well as an employee manual. I have been spending 100% of my time on this and even continue on the process in my dreams. What will stop my employees from running away with my operation manual and then using my own hard work against me to create a successful system?
Thank you again for reading and God Bless. Everyone wants to steal your hard work away for nothing and I'll be damned if I let this continue. The law is not always on my side.
Sincerely,
Imstooopid
