THE HANDS/FEET: Hard Work and Active Involvement
- It’s sometimes impossible to have a physical hand in every aspect of a business, but many young bosses have a hands-on approach to their ventures. They do the work.

Find a work-life balance that fits the way you do business. Marketing CEO Tina Wells incorporates a mandatory lunch break and reserves weekends for leisure, not work.
