How you can grow your business with meaningful investments in your staff

In this episode of the Balanced Warrior Podcast, Chris and Mike team up (Coach Paul is at a wedding) to discuss the importance of business owners investing in their team.  The truth is, many companies value the customer over the staff.  Chris and Mike challenge the majority and explain how the staff is much more important than any amount of customers.  Why, because who will take care of the customers if you don’t have a team?  As Mike says, we need to “Take care of the people who takes care of the people.”  

Chris shares how he took his staff of ten on an all-expense paid trip to Mexico at a luxury resort and did so to show appreciation for all their hard work.  Especially coming off the crazy two-plus years of the Covid Pandemic.  While Mike had not taken his team on such a trip, he does explain how he goes above and beyond for his team to make sure they are feeling appreciated and fulfilled.  While we all need to earn money to make a living, most people will work for fulfillment and recognition.  So it is important for all business owners to take care of the team, so the team can take care of your business.  No matter how big your business is.
