How to grow my business with people

Grow your business with People

All I asked for was employees and all they gave me was people

If you want to grow your business, a business with an individual character, you’re going to have to manage people. You’re going to have to get good at putting the right people on the bus, sitting in the right seats, all facing the right direction (and get the wrong ones off the bus). And Business growth is in itself one of the 7 Big Questions about how to build a beautiful business and life.

Furthermore, making sure you have the right people on board, sitting in the right seats, and removing the wrong people is also one of the keys to escaping the overwhelm in business, and getting unstuck.

If you don’t learn how to find (and keep!) the right people and get them to do great work, your business will always struggle.

No matter what your business is or does, one thing is certain: People will always provide you with your greatest opportunities as well as your greatest challenges.
