People under value the power of team work...

[Underwraps]

It doesn't sound like beggers can't be choosers when hiring as far as what's out there, but I think there's something to those personality assessments that businesses use. Instead of hiring just on an instinct, have you thought about what it is about them you like and why you hired them? The best people out there for any kind of job are balanced in all 4 basic personality types and they are the best vs the worst of each type (they work to avoid the weak aspects). I can't stand it when I see a person in a position that they're not right for, but where I can see they got it simply because they had the looks and the "I" type of personality. Heard of D.I.S.C.? Check it out and think why each person sucks when they do.
+= positives/strengths - = negatives/weaknesses
D= +dominant, direct, fearless, not sensitive -pig headed, knows it all, rebel, rude
I= +fearless showman, life of the party, outgoing, smiley -flakey, too much only show and low substance, only cares about their image and not the company's, unorganized
S= +supportive, sympathetic, sacrificing -sensitive, submissive, can give in too easily
C= +accurate, correct, organized, can lead but not with fun like I, nor dynamic like D -too rigid, afraid to bend the rules, unimaginative

Party business like your's needs "high Is", but they need to be strong S if their YOUR support, and strong C to get things right

No one is a charicature and we all have at least some of each, though sometimes only in certain situations.

It helps me know how to deal with people who annoy me. I'm high S and I and high C only for rules and laws and high D with kids. My nemesis- high Ds who are mostly the weak points of D vs the strong.

Babies: are all immature and the weak points of DISC, so are criminals. They are still babies and never learned to overcome the weak negative aspects of their personalities.

Again, it's just putting a label to what you already know by instinct, but delineation I think helps to see things more clearly. So, beware of the high I or D who are weak in S and C. They will impress you upon hire then let you down when push comes to shove.

I Had a similar lecture when I did work for a large company.
Not exactly this, but similar. I think breaking down a team and explaining it in certain terms can lead to greater unity through better understanding. But overall people lack the drive to even enter a team to get to this point.

Lacking drive to even enter a team? The weak aspects of each are fear driven. What's their fear?

D- loss of control
I- loss of acceptance
S- loss of stability and dealing w/confrontation
C- chaos

First of all, Enter key

Second of all, The business you engage is bound to involve scummy, backstabbing and vile people in general. People in that scene are generally scumbags or drug addicts. It's also a very fickle business. I think dealing with those type of people is part of the whole deal, unfortunately. That's why everyone i've known has gotten out of that business.

Third, People undervalue the power of teamwork, but organizations don't. Most big companies or even small companies with a good understanding of organizational behavior build their businesses based on this foundation. There's a reason that there's essentially an entire field of study dedicated to teamwork and how people function independently and interdependently within a business. Again, it's just a product of dealing with mickey mouse people and scumbags that you encounter this unfortunately.

I learned from the big companies I worked at. I see the advantages of that way of life. My business' are hobbies for me. As long as I keep it like that I'll always be happy. And you are wrong to say that the clubbing industry is that much worse than others. It has that stigma, but I experience that type of behavior everywhere. In the clubbing industry I deal with more idiots than I do scammers. A good businessman is a good businessman. He knows what is going on. That is why I have started to manage some DJ's and get them bookings.I handle other peoples affairs. Common sense and hard work usually go a long way. But to be successful you really have to put a lot of time into things, that can be tough.

Don't forget branding! A DJ from the starting line is nothing. Us here in Hollywood rewrote the book on branding.

Off tangent a bit, but I wonder what you could outsource to an assitant in India for $5/hr to ease your load? Four hour work week says the more you outsource the better. But, that would leave your M girl w/o a job? And, who needs another American w/o a job? Oh, China.

WTF is a four hour work week?
You cant outsource critical core functions that comprise the heart of your business
But some things you can certainly outsource
i.e. A car dealer wouldnt outsource sales department but could outsource marketing.
