Celebrate Your Growth

And if you aren’t celebrating or acknowledging them. It is highly likely that your team isn’t getting the recognition and celebration they deserve either.
You are taking the time to thank those that invested in your business, but are you thanking those doing the everyday work? Take a day or two to properly thank and celebrate your team’s hard work and reward them for all they have done. This may even help inspire them to work harder moving forward.
Properly Compensate Your Team

If your employees have grown with the business, and their income has not changed. It is safe to say they are probably being underpaid. If that is the case, the time is now to renegotiate their contracts and make sure you are paying them what they are worth.
