    One day I will write an impressively long post about all of the good and bad lessons learned running an agency for someone else the last 3 years. It's been awfully surprising the things that motivate, and the things that do not. I have learned volumes of stuff that will only improve my ability to run my own setup here shortly.

    Top 3 Motivators:
    • Stark variety of work and work-based challenges.
    • Team collaboration over individual/independent work.
    • Simple mentions of appreciation in front of co-workers/peers.

    Top 3 De-Motivators:
    • Telling your employees too much about what's going on behind the scenes.
    • Money. Believe it or not, money is not a motivator.
    • Hierarchy. Hierarchy is a joke these days for small agencies.

    • I beg to differ about money. Extra numerals on my pay slip motivate me rather a lot.Continuity
