As a business owner, one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that growing a successful company is not just about the money, it’s about the people. After working with numerous clients over the years, I’ve found that 9.5 times out of 10, the biggest issue facing most businesses is poor management of their employees.
You quickly realize that operating a thriving business beyond just yourself means mastering the art of managing people. Talented employees allow you to focus your time and energy on accelerating growth. But toxic team members can completely torpedo your progress.
My best advice is to be very intentional about who you hire, prioritizing both competence and culture fit. Surround yourself with staff who share your values and work ethic. That’s how you build a team that takes your business to the next level.
