I resonated so much with this: I had to let go of one of my employees 2 months ago after they had been with me for more than 3 years. At first they were a rockstar and I was so grateful for them. Then they started missing work more often, their father passed away and I kept on thinking they were going to get back on track, I kept seeing what they could be (as they had been) but it was just not happening. The relief I felt after letting them go was immediate, the energy I gained in my business was inspiring and then I learned that she got herself a new job. Loyalty vs refusing to face the facts, it's a great opportunity to gain wisdom!

The best advice I received from my mentor was that keeping someone that should not be there can actually hurt them more than it hurts you. You are keeping them from the job they are suppose to be at. Once I got THAT, it became easier.
