Minimum Wage, Maximum Results

The great challenge as an entrepreneur is to maximize your dollar and stretch it as far as it can possibly go. Most of all, you want to get the best workers for as little as you can. Robert K. McIntosh's book, Minimum Wage, Maximum Results discusses this dynamic and offers readers tips on how to manage their minimum wage workforce:

At the root of having an effective workforce is understanding what motivates them. If a worker is only getting paid minimum wage, employers will certainly have to find other means of inspiring him to work at his peak. McIntosh calls this the "hot button concept."
