That is exactly the reason. There are a few young people out there with a good work ethic, but most don't get it and I don't think they ever will. I work with a few young girls that don't get it at all. They don't clean up after themselves. They never turn their curliing irons off. They never smile or say hello to anyone that walks in the door. They look adorable. That is about all they care about. Angie Wingerter

The generation of young adults that have entered the work force have not had to work for what they have. Therefore there is no work ethic. It's " me me me me", the world owes me, "I'm not going to go out of my way unless there is something in it for ME!". If they were busy, they'd be complaining about how much hard work it is or that they don't get paid enough. I truly believe this is the reason why it seems like no matter where you go, no one is doing their job anymore! Aaarrrggghhh! (Sorry, I think your e-mail hit a nerve...). I feel better after that rant, do you?

Maybe I am emotionally involved with these gals, know their personalities, that I can't see. The owners (we are booth renters) asked us if we would like to donate to the annual Children's Museum Charity blah blah, by email. All we had to do was email them back with what we would like to donate. I donated a spa manicure. The owners made a large basket up, put a gift certificate in it, my biz card, Creative Nail Lotion, Nail Polish, Nail Envy, a description of the service. Then they shrinked wrap it with a big beautiful bow. The stylist that donated a hair cut, had the same type of basket with everything but her's had about 6 different hair products, 6 oz bottles. All we had to do was to email them. No money, not our products. zero nada zip. Just donate the service. Only two of us did this. The busiest hair stylist. The busiest nail tech. The two of us just shake our heads, Like why not? These gals sit around and witch how they need 2nd jobs. "The salon is not busy, I can't get new clients." "I am going to find a new place. " "The economy is so bad" "I can't afford to advertise" "this is a bad location" "people can't afford to get their hair (nails) done because of the taxes" BLAH BLAH BLAH I just want to SCREAM!!! Don't you get it, you have to build your biz, get your name out there to EVERYONE. I don't care how you do it, just do it. I have heard it all, I don't want those type of people, I will do them once and never come back, it will not work, blah blah. But my point of view is, If they don't come in, fine, cost me zero. If they do come in, it cost me my time and a couple of bucks in products. If I do them once and they never come back fine. I have touched someone. They know my name. They may not be able to afford to come back, but their sister, doctor, friend, family, co-workers may be able to. Hundreds of people will be there and they will be walking around looking at all the donations, and my biz card is sitting right there with my name. Talk about advertising for nothing.This advertising may not be immediate, but my name is on someone's mind this month, next month or a year from now. My name is out there. I have given away HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS dollars away in free services in the eons I have been doing this. BUT, I have made THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars because I believe in getting my name out there. So if you are trying to build, why wouldn't you do this? I just don't get it. Maybe someone out there can explain this one to me. diana from indiana --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
