Developing a sense of love and family within your business leads to greater success. Jake Sasseville is the CEO and Founder of Imiloa Institute in Costa Rica, where he helps to cultivate experiences that incite a profound sense of growth. When developing growth and comradery in your business, start with yourself and be committed to your own growth and authenticity first, and this will directly reflect on your business. The sense of happiness and fulfillment within a company should be judged by the quality of life of its gardener and housekeeper equivalents, so when you ensure that you are compensating all your employees ethically and responsibly, everybody wins. To further deepen the sense of familiarization amongst your team, treat yourself and your team to transformational experiences like retreats that foster a sense of unity and relaxation. When you invest in yourself and your team in this way, the return on investment is clear, and you will see the results in your business.
