I think a part of keeping employees happy is finding the right employees. I love my team, and they're a big part of why I love doing what I do everyday. But it was definitely a journey making sure we had A-level rockstars - both in performance and personality/mindset.
I also realized that I played a large part in my employee's mindsets and work/life balance. If I overworked, they would feel compelled to do the same (well, I guess you have to first find people that do that) - which would then lead to burnout. I found one of my most meaningful and most difficult job was being, in some sense, a mentor to my employees. Money definitely played a role, but growth was something they all consistently sought. Some even went on to "graduate" from my company to excel at another much larger one.
