Not sure if you want to take on interns? What if we told you that you might be missing out on the chance to add the next Steve Jobs or Oprah to your team?

Yeah, you heard us.
Steve Jobs and Oprah both started out as interns.
So did Andrea Jung (CEO of Grammeen America, former CEO of Avon), Anderson Cooper (journalist, anchor and author), and Ursula Burns (the first African-American woman to head up a Fortune 500 company).
Everyone has to start somewhere.
Hiring interns is all about looking for the potential, not the finished product.
Internships are all about learning on the job, gaining experience and training and then showing what you are capable of. Yes, that means investing some time and effort into someone but that’s exactly what it is – an investment.
“The best part of your first job will be your innocent ignorance of the fact that your seemingly simple ideas have the power to change a company’s future.” -Unknown
Now we’re not saying that your intern is going to revolutionize the events industry or make you millions during their time with you but maybe their new perspective might change the way you do some things for the better?
What if they make a great suggestion about how you use social media? Maybe they’ll spot a simple way to streamline a process and save you time and money.
You didn’t get to where you are now without putting in a little (probably A LOT) of hard work did you?
So, if you want to progress, build your team and your capabilities, why not invest in interns?
If you provide mentoring and training, you can reap the benefits – save time, stress less, book more clients and take your business to the next level.
Still think that’s too much effort to bring a potential genius and future billionaire onto your team?
Fine, we’ll make it easy for you.
Instead of spending hours developing a training program and then delivering it – (think about how much you’d lose in billable hours!), simply sign up to The Apprentice Program.
Imagine it for a second…Monday morning rolls around and your team meeting is at 10am.
As the CEO, all you do to prepare is watch a quick 2-minute video that preps you on the weekly topic to cover. You decide how much or how little you want to take part in the training process, sharing your firm’s case studies or put it on auto-pilot and have The Simplifiers provide full training.
So, what’s it going to be?
Keep plugging away with what you’re doing or invest a little to take you and your business to the next level?
Also… if you’re a really good mentor and your intern becomes a billionaire…they might invite you to their private island or yacht.
