There are so many things to think about when scaling a business, but building real meaningful human connections might just be the most important. Taking the time to really listen to and get to know your clients can create not only happier customers, but also opportunities for you and your clients alike to focus on the work you’re most passionate about. Making sure that you stay connected to your loved ones, even when work gets overwhelming is a vital part of staying sane while running a business, and not being afraid to ask for help from people in your network is essential if you want to avoid reinventing the wheel.

As the founder of Momentum Accounting, Nikole Mackenzie knows the importance and power of connecting with others in a real and meaningful way. In this episode, she talks about how to build and maintain every kind of essential relationship from those you build when growing your team, to mentor relationships, to family relationships and she also talks about how she’s benefited personally and professionally from creating relationships with people from all different parts of the world and why intentionally surrounding herself with ideas from all different cultures and countries is something she looks forward to doing even more of in the future.
