Every entrepreneur dreams of building a company that makes a difference in the world and he or she is able to grow for years to come. George Morris (@gmorris) felt the same way but felt a tension in his own soul as he did. The things the company needed from him were not resonating with who he was – both in terms of his skill level and his own personal growth needs. It was from that place that he made the decision to extricate himself from the company that he founded and let it move forward without him. You can hear George’s story and the path it has taken him down on this episode of The Andy Seth show.The decision to trim the payroll of himselfGeorge Morris started his company with the help of his co-founders and oversaw the growth of it for a number of years.
