Company growth is the top priority for many entrepreneurs. If a business stagnates, it will eventually fail. However, when leaders focus solely on finding the best ways to reach new customers, they often overlook an integral part of running a cohesive company.

face this struggle. The chaos of trying to raise children while balancing a career and a personal life is a significant stressor. As the leader of your company, you can help ease these burdens. A date night for an anniversary, spontaneous time off, or even added vacation time are all simple gestures that go a long way to create a company culture where your employees feel loved. AUTONOMY A dangerous pitfall for many entrepreneurs is developing a detachment between their own work life and the work lives of their team members. During the growth of the business, owners can fall into the age-old employee-boss mindset, and that hierarchy often creates a rigid environment.

I’ve learned so much working with Russell and Ashley.” Rosie says it’s her team as a whole that makes working here awesome. “Getting to work with this team is amazing,” she says. She loves the team events, like their recent escape room adventure. “It was really fun getting to do that with everyone outside of the office.” What is she excited about in her second year here? “What I look forward to the most is continuing to grow as a team and as a firm,” Rosie says.
