When Time is Money, Everything Costs Something, Says Brandon Frere

Happy Employee, Happy Boss

Nothing in life is free. It’s a blanket statement, sure, but it is true. Something may not necessarily cost money outright, but it’ll cost some form of time and effort. In a society that loves the phrase “time is money,” any sort of effort is costing someone something. Because people are very hard-pressed to make sure they get their money’s worth, it can go a long way to ensure people are properly compensated for their time. CEO Brandon Frere, successful entrepreneur and owner of several businesses, says that one of the best ways to make sure that as many people as possible get their money’s worth in relation to a business is to pay and treat employees well.

A CEO is concerned with running a thriving business. An employee in that business might be more focused on making sure ends meet and doing good enough work to keep it that way, rather than focused solely on the tasks at hand. If employees are paid well enough and treated well enough in other ways, there is a much higher likelihood that the employees will put forth their best effort into their job. “My first concern in a business is my employees. Those who have chosen to come and assist with the work I’m doing. If you take care of your employees, they’ll take care of you,” says Frere.

Being appropriately compensated - both with a living wage that is reflective of the area lived in and other creative ways such as catering - is a strong way to start getting the most out of an employee. “A business physically cannot run without employees. Surviving isn’t thriving, and an employee that’s just barely surviving won’t bring the best they can to the table. Keeping an employee’s needs taken care of is part of that concept of a thriving business,” says Frere.

He has designed and created multiple companies to meet the ever-demanding needs of businesses and consumers alike. His company website, www.FrereEnterprises.com, is used as a means to communicate many of the lessons, fundamentals and information he has learned throughout his extensive business and personal endeavors, most recently in advocating on behalf of student loan borrowers nationwide.

As experienced during his own student loan repayment, Mr. Frere found out how difficult it can be to work with federally contracted student loan servicers and the repayment programs designed to help borrowers. Through those efforts, he gained an insider’s look into the repayment process and the motivations behind the inflating student loan debt bubble. His knowledge of the confusing landscape of student loan repayment became a vital theme in his future endeavors, and he now uses those experiences to help guide others through the daunting process of applying for available federal repayment and loan forgiveness programs.
