Sozzi said to structure your employee compensation agreements so employees want to bring more money into a business. He stressed that WWE superstars and divas -- the labels given to the men and women wrestlers -- are independent contractors who will do better financially by "based on their efforts to make WWE do better financially."

Lesson 3: Learn From Your Employees
