“We need to believe in the impossible and remove the improbable” ~~Oscar Wilde

"Permanent happiness comes from you choosing to be permanently happy. When you choose happiness, then you attract all the happy things as well. The happy things are the icing on the cake, but the cake is happiness" ~~Rhonda Byrne

Good Morning Folks,

Whether it is health, money, a loving relationship, material things, accomplishments, a job, or anything at all, the desire for happiness is the bottom line of all of them. But remember that happiness is a state inside of us, and something on the outside can only bring fleeting happiness, because material things are impermanent.

Regardless of your looks, skills or intelligence, or what struggles you have had in your life --  if you don’t have a good attitude, if you don’t believe that happiness is a “choice”, if you don’t believe you can accomplish great things then you will never achieve success.  

Look around you. You work for a HAPPY company, with a Chief HAPPINESS Officer at the helm - who truly wants you to be happy, who gives you all the tools, opportunities and support to grow and be happy at what you do. You know why? 

Unhappy people, negative people, uncooperative people, complaining people just attract more unhappiness, negativity and difficulty into their lives. Those people can never truly be PERSONAL, PASSIONATE and PRODUCTIVE. 

But... on the FSO side of the coin... happy employees are contagious. Happy employees create a great work environment, and happy employees create more opportunity.

Our Sales, Marketing, and Operations teams are firing on all cylinders! We have the competition on their heels, with more and more of their clients taking a serious look at FSO and deciding that we are the only real choice when it comes to outsourcing.   

The FSO Train is screaming down the track, exceeding our client’s expectations and delivering on our promise to love and nurture our most valuable asset, our employees!  

==>  FSO is the Fastest growing outsourcer in the Industry
==>  FSO is the displacing its competitors every day
==>  FSO is the best place to work in the industry
==>  FSO is providing thousands a chance to reach their goals
==>  FSO is the most sought out company in the industry to work

What a great thing to say about your job!  

I talk to a lot of prospects that have our competitors currently. EVERY time I speak with them I get a bit nauseas because they tell me they are marginally happy, that they do not get any ideas from the current provider, that the staff onsite isn’t happy, that the management from the current company has never been to the site or met with them, that the local manager never provides reports, and the list goes on. UGH! I have seen the great work we do on-site and I am a true believer that (re)Imagine is our differentiator. 

Every time we (re)Imagine we win! Do not underestimate the impact that wiping off finger prints on a glass door can have. Do not underestimate the impact of your smile on a customer. Little things like straightening up an unsightly lobby, helping to set up a conference room when it is not our service agreement, it is the kind words and great attitude and providing ideas and recommendations for improvements. 

Your career and your growth is top of mind for me every single moment of the day. We have excitement in our company and I want you all to be excited. 

YOU are always appreciated for what YOU do, being who YOU are and the role YOU play in the company. Without YOU there could be no FSO. 

Set your goals and expectations high but more importantly, achieve them.  

Have a great day and thanks for being a part of our amazing journey.

What An Amazing Place FSO Is. An Organization Build On Helping Others.

"When I look at FSO today, I see hundreds of lives transformed… people with careers, not jobs. People thriving, not just surviving."

Good Morning Folks,

How unfortunate to personally be stagnant in our careers, unable to take full advantage of an opportunity or even let one "slip" by due to unpreparedness. 

We provide so much to our field employees. We guide, mentor, teach, support them. We show them they are important, show them they matter, show them we care. We build relationships with them, friendships, comraderie. They are the future...us - and it is our obligation and pleasure to assist them reach their goals, progress, fulfill their dreams.

Most importantly - it is all of our jobs as leaders and managers to ensure that in our absence or promotion others can take the reins over and shine in doing so. 

To our employees, ask yourself - who at your site or department are you partnering with and developing? Who can you count on? Are names immediately popping up in your head? 

What an amazing place FSO is. An organization build on helping others.

We help them - let me help you.

You have all reached a certain level of success and growth... why stop there?

You each have strength and skills that have merited your current roles within the Division, within FSO. Let's reach HIGHER!

Let's self motivate.     Let's increase ourselves.     Let's GROW!

Reflect on the FSO career path:

Cheryl | A former mail clerk at groupm - now the Portfolio Manager to Durst
Glenda | A former internal messenger for VNO - now the Division Administrator
David | A former Lead at Sage - now the Portfolio Manager for Brookfield +
Mario | A former Supervisor at Conde - now the Portfolio Manager for VNO +

Then there is the rising star that was personally discovered by me a few years ago that I wish to give a special shout out and thanks to - Vivian! In Denise's absence, she rose above and beyond all expectations and shone in her capacity, commitment and smarts. She Denise to come back with a sigh of relief and joy. 

Vivian started with FSO as an informationalist a few years ago and has continued to rise and put her intellect and personality to invaluable use. Additionally Vivian is also working closely with me on "employee analytics" and keeping a close ear to the heartbeat of our valued staff across the country. 

Again this important role was borne out of care, concern and a passion to ensure that our staff are feeling and experiencing my brand, company culture and commitment to our staff's happiness and career growth. Thank you Viv for all that you do! 

WHATS NEXT?!     WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?!     WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE?!

It doesn't matter if you are an ELT member or a site lead. We all bear the responsibility of nurturing and developing talent. 

When I look at FSO today, I see hundreds of lives transformed… people with careers, not jobs. People thriving, not just surviving.

How can I help you fulfill your dreams? When I fulfill employee dreams, I fulfill your dreams and ambitions as a client. It's a simple formula, but maybe not that simple because we seem to be among the few in our business that actually get this right.

Feel the FSO Experience - and ensure everyone around you does too. 

Here's to a wonderful finish to the week!

Love Life!

Mitchell D. Weiner
