Key Takeaways: Align Hiring with Values: When hiring, it's crucial to ensure that potential employees resonate with your company's core values to maintain a cohesive work environment. Delegate Smartly: Identifying tasks that can be efficiently delegated helps in maintaining both quality of work and owner sanity. Maintain Transparency: Clear communication and setting expectations with employees can mitigate surprises and improve work relations. Adapt and Innovate: Small businesses need to continually evolve their benefits and practices to stay competitive with larger corporate entities. Notable Quotes: “As long as they're getting that ultimate goal at the same level that you are, however they get there, it's probably going to be fine.” – Kelly Metras “Being able to be a leader and not the one doing all the work is so important. Working on your business as opposed to working in your business is really the only way you're going to get the growth you need.” – Kelly Bush “There are times where I'm envious of those bigger corporate entities or some of those small businesses that are owned by somebody who's got eight other small businesses, and they're just, they have their management team, and they're just not involved.” – Kelly Bush “If they're surprised when they get fired, we missed the mark on making sure that we're being open and communicating.” – Kelly Metras Resources: Shoes for Crews: Providing quarterly shoes for employees, a creative benefit Kelly’s business offers. Marvelous Minds: An example of flexible childcare solutions discussed in the episode.
