Hey, how's by Erika? I am so sorry you had to go through that. But since you lose God, you lose God where where 30 million was missing from your business. And your body there was telling you, but you are not paying too much attention to it. But it has been done. I am so sorry. And that is why I tell business owners to always set alarms in their business that tells them about this kind of things before it happens. So today I'm going to be sharing five alarms that you can set in your business today to help you, to alert you of all these kind of things before it becomes too big for you to handle. It has been tested and it is trusted. And if you want to learn more about business, so that you can prevent yourself from being prey, not just to staff theft, but to every other thing that tries to bring down a business. Check my bio. Now, the first alarm is the ghost customer. Sometimes, send people to your business to do business. Do you understand? Let them buy something. Let them try to do all those magomago things and see how your staff respond to it. If they are stealing from you, and you do it this month and next month, they will fall for it. And then you will use the opportunity to go back to your books and study, you know, what damage would have been, or they have committed before you take action. Number two, run unpredictable audits. Today, it is you asking about customers, how many numbers that came and all. Tomorrow, you're checking, you know, inventory. And it all depends on the kind of business you do. So run unpredictable audits. That way you will always catch them off guard. If they are doing things that they are not supposed to do. Number three, create character tests. Do you understand? Sometimes you leave some harmless opportunities that they can take advantage of. So that you know the kind of person that they are. Like if you use for example, you can tell them to go and buy for you, even if you know that there is. Do you understand? Test things. They will tell you that madam, I'm for you. You know, all those small small character tests. So that you know who is who. Number four, build independent information channels. Don't be trusting on just one person. Some of you you just put manager there. If anything the manager tells you, that's what you listen to. You don't need to go to the customer. You don't need to go to the production room. You don't need to visit suppliers. Everything the manager tells you, that's what you believe. If you cannot go and check, send another person to go for you and give you information. Don't be depending on just one information channel. Sometimes let your authority in command give you information about something. So that you can compare it with the one that your manager is giving to you. Number five, always check your records. If you are not recording, start keeping records. The record does not have emotion. The record will always be straight. If you bought XYZ, the record should show that you bought it. Check it. Because usually, most times, the record will reveal it to you. And once it does, you will now start using any of those four tactics that I've mentioned earlier. At the end of the day, you understand that there's a difference between corruption and staff theft. Staff theft can be individual things, everybody taking small small. But when you have corruption inside your business, that one will fire you. You don't want to check that one. But we'll discuss all that in my business circle. So if you want to learn more about business, how to safeguard your business from both your staff, suppliers, and everybody, check my bio. See you on the next one.
