May 21st, 2013 – Pat’s company has grown an average of 10 percent a year for six years – a truly great entrepreneurial story. Pat started the company from her living room with two friends after a client recommended she work for him, full-time, as an independent contractor. Essentially, he would provide financial backing and offer encouragement and stability, while she pursued other clients and grew the company.

Today Pat’s company is in two cities. It’s thriving. Turnover, however, is a problem. Turnover is the purview of Chris, one of the original “living room” founders, who is now president.
