HardDaysKnight is an unknown quantity at this point
Jim, four years into it is no time to quit. You already passed the first hurdle. Many new enterprises fold within the first 3 years.
To be a good owner/ manager is similar to being a good salesman. You have to learn to coddle people.
Focus on things they like outside of work and every now and then pick something up you see in a store or whatever that
you think someone would like. It's really the little things
that show them they are more than a pair of hands.
We have managed to make them friends and it makes work
a better place. They know the difference between the boss
and the friend because of the little things we do for them.
Hope this helps...DON'T give up!!
