Inspire ME Friday: Actor James Franco Worked His Way Up From a Mc Donald's Kitchen; We Have A Better Idea For You

The FASTEST growing on-site outsourcing company is ALWAYS looking for the BEST talent across the (re)IMAGINation, FSO|USA! 










Good Morning Folks,

Before stardom, James Franco was just a fast-food employee eating fries straight from the hopper. He was, as I was once, a member of the infamous "forgotten demographic" that I have dedicated my life to creating opportunities for.

This story by James Franco in the Washington Post is maybe the strangest op-ed I've ever read on the topic. It speaks to the current climate of employment in this country and the principles of hard work and passion.
"I dropped out of college and went to a hole-in-the-wall acting school in the Valley. My parents, who both had master’s degrees and valued education, told me I would have to support myself if I wasn’t enrolled in college. 
I didn’t have a car, so I tried to get a job at all the restaurants within walking distance of my post-dropout Valley apartment. (I shared it with two other aspiring actors and slept on the couch.) I had very little work experience. In high school, I was fired from a coffee shop for reading behind the counter and from a golf course for reading while driving the cart on the driving range. All the waiter jobs were taken by more experienced actor/waiters. 
Someone asked me if I was too good to work at McDonald’s. Because I was following my acting dream despite all the pressure not to, I was definitely not too good to work at McDonald’s. I went to the nearest Mickey D’s and was hired the same day. 
I was given the late shift drive-thru position. I wore a purple visor and purple polo shirt and took orders over a headset. I refrained from reading on the job, but soon started putting on fake accents with the customers to practice for my scenes in acting class."  Continued.... 
You don't have to work at Mc Donald's to get your jump start in life. Perhaps you will consider a position here, where I promise anyone who really wants it, and works hard to get it, can have a career, with my company and not just a dead end job. 

Most of our managers at sites, regions and corporate are proof: They started with one of these jobs advertised below and many worked their way up rapidly taking advantage of our legendary training and future leaders programs that you can read more about here.

All about Hospitality? High level Customer Service? Positive Energy and have a GREAT SMILE? We want to walk to you!

Seth Godin: (re)Radical aka (re) Imagine

"Does this place exist to maintain and perpetuate the status quo, or am I here to do the work that the radical founder had in mind when we started?"








Good Morning Folks,

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend - especially after an awesome week at FSO! 

We had the second CHO Club last week - which was just amazing!!  (and we have the pictures to prove it)!

I along with the entire ELT LOVE nothing more than celebrating YOU, our valued employees! 

Our company is growing and nothing is going to stop us. We are too strong. Focused. Passionate and committed to making FSO the number one on site outsourcing company on the planet. 

The quest for growth is always powered by a thirst for change. Seth Godin, one of  marketing's brightest minds put it this way in a blog post this weekend:
(re)Radical  <aka (re) Imagine>
At the congregation down the street, they're doing things the way they've done them for the last few hundred years. Every week, people come, attracted by familiarity, by the family and friends around them, part of a tribe.
And just past that building is another one, a different tribe, where the tradition is more than a thousand years old. 
This is not so different from that big company that used to be an internet startup, but all the original team members have long left the building. Work tomorrow has a lot in common with work yesterday, and the safety of it all is comforting. 
Che, Jefferson, Edison, Ford... most of these radicals would not recognize the institutions that have been built over time. 
The question each of us has to answer about the institution we care about is: Does this place exist to maintain and perpetuate the status quo, or am I here to do the work that the radical founder had in mind when we started? 
First principles. The quest for growth, or for change, or for justice. The ability, perhaps the desire, to seek out things that feel risky. 
All of us are part of organizations that were started by outliers, by radicals, by people who cared more about making a difference than fitting in.
Bravo to all those who won the invite to attend and to everyone else - the next one is 2 June 2015 - I want to see YOU there! Demonstrate the FSO skip, fire, twinkle...WOW! your client...be an awesome teammate....and you can win an invite!! 

This is yet another step in making FSO the company we want to be. To be the happiest place to work and one of Americas greatest companies to work for. 

Rock the week,










Mitchell D. Weiner
Chief Happiness Officer

Love Springs Eternal at FSO (and did we remind you WE'RE HIRING?)

"If you have an idea, share your idea! Look to grow with the company! Do not be afraid to take the leaps necessary to help this organization grow—it will in turn help you grow as well."






Good Morning Folks,

I hope you had a great great holiday weekend. What a beautiful spring weekend :)

Lots of great things are happening as we welcome the longer and warmer days of spring into FSO. 

We have worked together to build great momentum and are on the way to bigger and better things. Better infrastructure leading to better results, client satisfaction and more business opportunities. This all happened because of you – because each one of you care deeply about FSO and our customers.  Your professionalism, dedication and commitment are an inspiration to me and I have shared this feedback with many of you, both at HQ and in the field.

The most important thing about our business is our people (YOU). We believe the winning recipe to ensure that our clients are WOW!ed and love FSO, is to hire brilliant people, train & empower them, and recognize & reward them. And, last week was a great example of our commitment to this! We re-launched the monthly CHO Club (and it was an awesome event) and will have our first MIT management training session this Tuesday that will be led by Me! My sincerest congratulations and THANK YOU to everyone who was recognized....we are counting on our employees and YOU made a difference! Great job.

I am a strong believer in the power of positive energy. I have seen both in my personal and professional life that you can achieve great success and overcome adversity by finding positive aspect in every situation. As we head into the week, I ask each of you to take a moment to self reflect. Does your team know about all of the GREAT things that are happening at FSO? Do they know about all of the opportunities that are available for them to feel how valued they are to me and the entire ELT? Are you taking the time to talk and listen to your team? Are you training your team? Are you making it PERSONAL? Are you sharing this feedback with your director, the PSTeam, the ELT? 

We are here for you...you have tons of support. Strong communications team - this is the key to our success!  FSO is a company that is all about coming up with the best possible solution to best support our clients. If you have an idea, share your idea! Look to grow with the company! Do not be afraid to take the leaps necessary to help this organization grow—it will in turn help you grow as well.

Inspire ME Friday: Motivating Our Best Employees

"Change is good. You go first."


Knowing how to motivate your employees will allow you to build a team that is as passionate about success as you are. 














Good Friday Folks,

Dave Lavinsky is on fire again in the GrowThink Newsletter with a spot-on piece about motivating employees. He writes:

Entrepreneurs must have many skills. They must be able to spot opportunities. They must be able to create plans to seize those opportunities. And they must execute on those plans.

And, for most opportunities, and clearly for those opportunities that are really big, execution involves hiring and managing employees. Because no single entrepreneur can do everything themselves.

But you just can't have any employees. Companies that succeed have employees that are highly motivated.

So how do you ensure that your employees are motivated to succeed?

Clearly, giving them fair salaries helps. And clearly, stock options that allow employees to benefit when the company benefits are good practice.

But, there is an even better way. In fact, authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton in their book, The Carrot Principle, found a better way.

Where did they come up with this better way? Well, they conducted a study involving 200,000 people over a ten-year period.

Importantly, their study showed that the key characteristic of the most successful entrepreneurial managers is that they provide their employees with frequent and effective recognition.

That's right, significantly better business results were realized when managers offered recognition in the form of constructive praise and meaningful rewards (typically non-monetary).

The authors found that recognition is most effective when it is:

==> Positive (don't mention any negatives when giving praise)
==> Immediate (comes soon after the job well done)
==> Close (presented to employee(s) with their peers in attendance)
==> Specific (precisely recognizes why the task/job they performed merited recognition)
==> Shared (allows employee's peers to also comment during the recognition presentation)

Carrots are needed to motivate employees. But what I found most interesting about the author's findings was that recognition is more effective than monetary rewards. This is a critical finding for all managers, and particularly entrepreneurial managers who typically operate in cash-restrained environments.

Knowing how to motivate your employees will allow you to build a team that is as passionate about success as you are. And this will ultimately lead to your company achieving its goals. So, while it may not seem like a mission-critical focus today, it's definitely worth your time and effort. So don't delay...
Don't forget to checkout 4 Ways of Choosing Happiness from Within... and have a great weekend and enjoy a long awaited taste of spring.


Love Life!

Inspire ME Friday: Dee's Shining Moment


"Very inspiring message. I’ve had the pleasure of working with you for over ten years and I know I speak for myself and many, many others; we are incredibly proud of you and love watching your continued success! You are proof that referrals positively impact our company everyday."





Good Morning Folks,

Every Friday I share an internal communique from one of our esteemed employees. Last week Michael, currently a Business Operations Manager and the newly elected President of our Future Leaders Program had the microphone and blew us away

Today I introduce you to the "Joe Biden" of the Future Leaders Program, Demetrius, who is the proud Business Operations Manager at Young and Rubicam. And now direct from the heart and mind of the recently appointed Vice President of the Future Leaders Program, I turn it over to you, "Dee" .....
I write to you all today about leadership, and a few lessons that I carry with me daily. As a leader you must have self-confidence. You must know when to listen, when to talk and how to make quick decisions that will better the employee and client experience. There are different styles of leadership and you have to find the one that is right for you. The important thing is to be yourself and be comfortable leading. You have to be authentic in the way you engage with other people and the way you use your authority. People must learn to trust you. Understanding how you can have the most positive impact and influence on others is crucial. Most importantly, trust your instinct, and know you will always have support. 
I’m a big believer in the power of the subconscious to steer us to the right decisions. A good leader will put a lot of effort into building the right team around him or her. You need people you trust, who are on your side, who respectfully challenge you, who are honest with you, and whose judgment you respect. You need to be able to depend on their support when the going gets tough. This is how we pay it forward folks, it’s an ‘each one – teach one mentality’. It’s a differentiator and what makes us better that the rest (and trust me we ARE!).  
The FLP was established with the sole purpose of spotting talent and identifying those who have “it”.  The FLP is something that’s near and dear to my heart, and I thank Mitch for believing in and supporting this program as the great leader he is for all of us.  It is the very same program that put me in the position I’m in today. I was able to meet some amazing people and also acquire great skills in the process- I cannot wait to continue on growing and developing into a better leader every day. The (re) imagined FLP will be unmatched in our industry. As Shawn mentioned at our first Board meeting, this is our “shining moment."
Do you have “it”?  We believe you do!  It won’t easy and it will take lots of hard work and dedication. But, if you’re able to push through – you too can become like that kid from Queens who dreamt big, but achieved bigger. :) 
Adds a colleague, "You were one of the first people I met when I joined FSO in 2013. You took me around Y&R, told me about the transformations not only at Y&R, but your own transformations.. The growth you experienced at FSO- from 'humble' beginnings to your current status.  You're living proof that the FLP works for those who crave growth, and your message is proof that you possess the qualities of a strong leader."

Well, Dee, this is YOUR shinning moment. Demetrius continues to impress, shine and grow in his role with FSO. BRAVO SIR.. well done, well written and more. You are a credit to all the exciting programs, plans, actions and strategies taking place at FSO. We are grateful to have you.  

Have a great weekend and enjoy the first taste of spring whether admiring the Cherry Blossoms in DC or staring at the sidewalk to observe the last drop of snow melt and actually be smiling and happy to see litter and dirt again.

Love Life!








Mitchell D. Weiner
Chief Happiness Officer
