I want to talk about something that's near and dear to my heart as an entrepreneur: how to find and keep great employees. Over the years, I've learned that building a strong team is essential for the success of any business, and there are some key signs that I look for when hiring new team members.

What are the characteristics that I look for? Passion for learning and growing, ability to prioritize urgent and important tasks, passion for the company's mission and vision, and thinking beyond their job description. By looking for these, I've been able to build a strong team of talented individuals who are committed to the success of my business.
