Physical events, meeting together is very important to maintain a strong culture with a remote staff. Do It, Document It, Delegate It®. This is how you clone yourself. It sounds simple, but you need to follow the process for everything in your business. Delegation is hard, especially with things you are good at or enjoy. It is important to stop doing the things you are good at and stretch yourself. It is easier than ever to start a business because of all the tools that exist. It is harder than ever to scale because it is hard to hand off stuff. 90 challenges (both personally and professionally) help to stay focused.
