info_outlineYou deserve a team that FREES your time — which means hiring the right people at the right time. But, many business owners struggle with hiring and managing their people – causing higher staff turnover, less commitment, and more work landing on your plate.
Because let’s be honest… most of us were never taught how to hire, delegate, lead, or let people go.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through the five most essential hires you need to make your business profitable AND sustainable – EVEN IF you’ve hired before and it didn’t work out.
Here’s What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- The crucial hire most business owners delay for too long (it will instantly free up 10 hours of your week!)
- Why this unexpected hire (that doesn’t “technically” relate to business) will transform your output and ability to keep a clear head
- How hidden burdens are affecting the capacity you have to grow your business and lead your team (these are UNFAIR, but true)
- The trick to getting OUT of the weeds and stopping getting stuck doing $10/hour tasks instead of playing the CEO role
- What happens when every client question, email, or calendar invite needs to go through you first – and who to hire to free up your time
- Who to hire in order to have your marketing done for you – without needing to be involved in every detail
- Why relying on your marketing alone might not be enough to bring in consistent sales, and what team member to add to bring in the sale
- How to set up new team members for success with the right role descriptions, systems, and clear expectations (so they’re not waiting around for your next instruction!)
- And so, so much more
