Introduction
On this episode of Business Insanity Talk Radio, we first discuss the astounding federal regulations facing small businesses, which cost approx. $10,000 per employee annually, with the annual total cost burden on the typical U.S. business coming in at $233,182. My first guest shares how we can demand a better, more responsive system from lawmakers. Then, we say have a lot of stupid expressions at work like “low hanging fruit” or “don’t throw them under the bus” that are actually hurting the communication in our businesses; we’ll show you why. Next, can you really learn to be successful by looking at the world’s biggest disasters? I have a guest that does just that, and he has come up with 46 habits that he has learned. Finally, we talk about how Anthropology, the study of humans, past and present, can make our small businesses more successful.
