Learn from serial "make it happener" landscaper, and TikToker, Michael Bauman, about the dangers of rapid business growth, the lessons he’s learned from entrepreneurship, and how he’s recovering after laying off several employees.
Having been named to the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies in America in 2021, Michael also learned that not everyone can keep up with rapid growth. Sometimes, the capacity of your employees can’t keep up with the pace of your business’s growth. This can lead to decreases in productivity and quality of work, employee satisfaction, and business success.
Thus, Michael recently had to lay off some of his best workers… making it “by far, the worst days I’ve had in 7 years”. What he learned from that misstep enabled him to pivot in his business and reach a new level of growth and success.
“I’ve got to do what’s best for everybody, not just one person.” – Michael Bauman
