So, you hired on your first staff member and then another, and you’ve officially started building your business team. But...then you had to let one of your staff members go? Did they have access to your systems? Did they have access to your website? If so, did you remove them before you let them go? Many businesses are grappling with the aftereffects of letting go of a staff member before removing their access to highly sensitive data or systems causing irreparable damage. Granted it’s great when your business begins to grow and you need to hire on more help - but you also need to be careful when you let this help go as well. 📈 By putting in place standard procedures for hiring and firing staff you help mitigate this issue all together. Ensure you always remove staff member access before they leave. ⬅️ This includes when you decide to let go of vendors or contractors as well.

I have a confession to make. 👇🏻 It took my business a long time to really take hold. Why? Frankly, life got in the way. In my first 5 years of business, I really began to grow, but then I began to care for my mom who had dementia. As her care increased, my business decreased. 📉 Then another 5 years passed by. It took a year to find myself again, as I got lost along the way. Then I started all over again. 📝 New look, new name, new services, new pricing, new gusto. However, due to all the lessons, I learned I was able to grow my business even bigger and stronger in less than 3 years. 💪 So, when you feel like you simply can’t go on, know that you can. When you feel that life has thrown you out the door, open it back up. 🚪 Making a business work takes blood, sweat, and a ton of tears, but when it works you simply can’t wipe that smile off your face. Here’s to all the possibilities. 🥂 YOU GOT THIS!! https://www.kgwebsitedesigns.com/ ...
