Today's episode is all about my experience with hiring a team for my business. Hiring a team is often touted as the key to scaling and freeing up time to work on the business instead of in it. However, I have to be honest with you – it turned out to be a bit of a nightmare for me. I want to share my journey with you and give you five mistakes to avoid if you decide to hire a big team. At the beginning of 2022, my business was booming, and I was booked and busy. So, I decided to hire about six people over a few months to outsource various tasks. In total, I spent about $80,000 on building this team. The goal was to scale my business and delegate tasks so I could focus on higher-level strategy and growth. Here's a closer look at the episode: Hiring for Individual Tasks Instead of DepartmentsNot Setting Clear Expectations and Success MarkersNot Letting Go of Underperforming Team Members SoonerHiring Too Fast and Too Much at OnceNot Having Trainings and Guidelines in Place  "It's really hard to get a true assessment of how well your investments are going if you're making a bunch at the same time.

When you're doing science experiments, there's always a control." -Latesha Lynch I want to help you learn from my mistakes and make better decisions when it comes to hiring your own team. Stay tuned for the next episode, where I'll share how I restructured my business and found a balance that worked for me.
