Certainty in an Uncertain World
Certainty in an Uncertain World
A wise turtle once said that “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the “present”. That is a very true saying in many ways. The trends of tomorrow can be hard to predict. When a mother put on a Chewbacca mask, she never imagined she would become the queen of the Internet for a couple of weeks. When a girl said the groundbreaking “Cash me outside how bow dah” and became an internet sensation, no one saw it coming. Really a lot of people still don’t understand how it happened. Which really brings us back to the point we were wanting to make. There is no real certainty in what tomorrow will bring. So if you can find any ounce of certainty, you should enjoy it.
Of course, if “how bow dah” can reach legendary status, anything can happen. That small company you started with a unique premise could be going nowhere one day and have lines out the door the next. Sometimes all it takes is that one Facebook post to throw you into the fast lane. Even a negative publicity can do wonders for your profit margin. Youtube is filled with people giving film reviews, and even their bad reviews draw attention to these otherwise overlooked films. Not to say all publicity is good either. One dirty secret leaked, even if it’s a completely fabricated one, and your company could quickly be on a downward spiral.
So what does this have to do with a payroll outsourcing company? Mainly it is the idea of certainty in an uncertain world. The only way to be truly prepared is to be ready for anything. Rather that means a sudden surge in business or a sudden decline you have to be prepared for it. The key to being prepared is to be attentive. You have to watch and see where things are going in the world. You have to match your product to an audience, and that audience may not be developed yet. So you will have to develop your product or services as your target audience develops.
When trends are constantly shifting though you really have to stay focused and keep your eyes on the prize. You don’t want to fall behind because it takes that much more effort to get back into the flow. You might have to delegate some tasks to other people or to other companies even. Passing departments like Payroll Management and Human Resource Management onto an outsourced company will ease a lot of the stress off. A payroll company doesn’t have to worry about memes and trends in the mainstream media because their job isn’t related to that. Instead, they stay on top of payroll trends so your payroll department stays on top of everything.
In a way, it is a two-way road for certainty. Because an outsource company doesn’t have to worry about what trends to follow you know they will be focusing on your payroll. Because you are focusing on keeping your business growing they are certain you will continue needing their services. So while you are uncertain why Brad’s wife got fired from Cracker Barrel, you can be certain that your payroll is in good hands at all times when you outsource with Vision H.R.
