I’m sure you’ve heard of the shoe company, Zappos, and their amazing workplace culture. They have a popcorn machine in the lobby. Does that mean you should get a popcorn machine, too?   Is creating culture really that simple?   Yes and no, according to the man who helped Zappos pioneer their corporate culture training, Robert Richman. Today, he talks about what makes a great company culture, not JUST for existing companies, but those that are a single person scaling up. Discover: The experience attendees to the Zappos training get from the minute they walk in the door Why culture is more about belief that specific actions The two things you need to establish to make a great culture AND, how to create a culture for yourself as a solopreneur Whether you’re an established entrepreneur or one who’s about to start scaling, culture is something you need to latch onto now.
