If you’re going to grow or scale a health or wellness service business, you gotta love people. Taking care of your team is your job as a CEO.
The thing that’s hard to figure out is what is motivating each individual person in your business.
There have to be so many layers of behavioral motivators in place in a larger business to keep everyone engaged in their work and motivated to do well.
I’d love to hear what motivates you in your work.
Is it:
A. Money
2. Benefits (medical, PTO, etc)
3. Team/community/support
4 Mission/making a difference
5. Flexibility
6. ????

My favorite made-up word is “Fail-learn” (noun): when something didn’t go as planned & felt painful or embarrassing …but you chose to learn from it rather than be overcome by it and defined by it.
Service-based business owners managing a large team: how’s hiring going right now?
For me, it’s been hard.
I feel like the more I offer in terms of pay and benefits, the HARDER it has become to fill full-time roles in my therapy practice.
Some biz owners over on IG mentioned that maybe people aren’t looking for full time now—they want part time flexible work that they can cobble together with other part time gigs.
The problem is that the part-timers are never really fully invested in the mission of the business and it makes it reallllly hard to schedule meetings or other staff gatherings if we have lots of part time employees. But I’m considering it….
I’m curious if other business owners are struggling to hire now too.
Tell me about Nostr like I’m a 3-year-old or maaaybe a 5-year-old….
I understand that it is a decentralized technology & that it allows for freedom and privacy and ownership of your own content.
I don’t understand at all when people talk about Nostr products…???
I know I could ask AI but this will be more fun to hear from real people!
Just ordered a @daylightco DC-1 today (business expense, right?!) 😉and I CANNOT WAIT for it to arrive! & I’m going to recommend the Daylite Kids computer to all 3000+ families on our parent email list this month. We need to protect young kids from excessive screen use more than ever…and I love that it can be used OUTSIDE! 🌳☀️
Re-entry to real life after an epic vacation can be hard.
I’m back home in the serene nature of Madison, WI. 🌳
🌷Spring is coming! The birds are chirping!
And I’m practicing contentment this morning by noticing the beauty of my backyard nature here where I call home for now…
BUT tbh my heart still aches for the jungle of Costa Rica after the amazing @Jungle Biomechanics retreat!
I’m learning the discipline of being content no matter your circumstances. And it’s deep work but good work. 💛
Thank you again @Gregory Bader 🦍🌺 for a beautiful experience! 🌴🌊 🏄♀️ Can’t wait for the next one!


Had the best day today learning about sovereignty, nostr, and bitcoin with @Gregory Bader 🦍🌺 and @paul keating in beautiful Uvita! #introductions
