Today we've got a call from Ben in St. Louis. He's 23 years old, running a lawn care company, and he wants to know how to create more consistency and accountability with team members.

Who keep calling out. Or don't show up on time. So I'm twenty three years old and I own a lawn maintenance company with around six team members. Um they range from the age of eighteen to twenty five years old. This year we'll do around five hundred and fifty thousand in revenue. With the exception of one person, these issues have come up in some form with pretty much everyone on the team.

One of my biggest struggles is creating consistency and accountability with the team. We pay at or slightly above market, offer PTO and health insurance options, and have implemented monthly profit sharing. tied partly to attendance and punctuality. However, we currently have no formal limit on unpaid time off. I'm still dealing with excessive sick days.
