You live in a dreamworld. Sorry to be so blunt, but grow the fuck up.
People change. People's lives changes. People who fit into your narrow little culture now will grow out of it in a few years time. But they are still your "friends", they are still valuable employees, maybe even more than before. What are you going to do then, fire everyone who grows out of your cozy little "family" culture because they have a live of their own?
It's either that, or start a cult. Or of course, grow up and run a real company instead.
The 1% you're looking for isn't just a minority, it's just fraction of those people's lives. Real human beings are more complicated than that.
