In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald shifts the discussion from personal value proposition to building and protecting a business through effective employee management.

Top Lessons 1. Your Employees Can Make or Break Your Business

2. Five Reasons Companies Struggle to Find Great Employees
