As leaders of companies, we don’t need to see any formal statistics to know that the happiness levels of our team members (not to mention ourselves) impact performance, creativity and motivation significantly. Isn’t it worth it, then, to invest earnestly in practices that increase our happiness and the happiness of our team members? Of course […]

There are so many ways to measure what we’re doing – and the impact we’re having – as business owners and as companies. How do we choose the metrics that are the best fit for us? The metrics that are measuring the things we really care about? We all know what the standard, accepted metrics […]

As leaders of companies, everything we do matters. How we design and lead meetings matters, too. Here at Growmotely, we’re not about having millions of meetings, but we do recognize the importance of gathering.

It was the pursuit of freedom that drove me into entrepreneurship. Pretty quickly however, I found myself working longer hours than ever before, taking less vacation, and generally feeling trapped by the weight of my business.

One of the most rewarding realizations I’ve come to on my journey as a founder has been embracing the absolute freedom we have to experiment and try new things.
