Every business will have their share of unprofessional hirings, some worse than others. It’s only natural given the job market nowadays and the workforce. Young professionals, not just Millennials, truly don’t understand the value of their name and public representation. Although none of us are like Odell Beckham, recognized everywhere he goes.

There are many great things about being an entrepreneur... and a few not so great things. One of the biggest challenges I find is getting away for a real vacation. I'm not talking about the trip where you bring along your laptop take conference calls and try to squeeze in family time. I'm talking about really disconnecting from your business. With my previous business I waited five years to take a full no-computer vacation. No surprise it was great, not only for me, but also for my staff.

Vacations that exclude being connected to electronics can really give you time to connect with family and friends.

Not all employees will stay with you for the long-term, but it is important that while they are with your business that they are happy and contributing. I know it's not a necessity, but I always like it when an employee leaves my business feeling like that they gained greater knowledge, did something good, and was happy with their tenure at the company.
