Episode 6 - Hiring The Right Team At The Right Time

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table… The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.    In This Episode: In this episode of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast, I’m diving deep into one of the things that’s going to STOP you from building a bigger table ... for you, your business, your family, and your community. And that thing is not hiring the right team at the right time. Seriously, the number one thing that is going to prevent you from growing from a six to a seven, and multi seven figure business is not making sure you have the right team in place to support you. This is the foundation for all of your growth. If you tune into this episode, you’ll hear the key mistakes that people make in this area and how you can avoid them. I’ll also break it down to the 3 stages your business might be at and how you should be hiring according to that, so you can pinpoint exactly who your next hire should be … … so whether you’ve just started scaling, have found yourself at a plateau, or are ready to take an already high functioning team to the next level - this episode has everything you need to know when it comes to building out your dream team!   Key Takeaways: You can’t build a bigger table all by yourself Why SOPs will save you time, energy and money Why paying for people more pays off If you can’t acquire the skills, hire the skills   Quotes: “When you are constantly spending your time jumping from one thing to another thing, because you're always being pulled in to fight the fires ... guess what? The whole building will soon be ablaze and burned into the ground because you are one person.” “Remember, you can only build a bigger table in your business when you have the right people sitting at yours.” “When you don't have the capacity, the time, the leverage or the financial resources to allow people to learn in your business, you need to start hiring from experience and for experience … you need to hire for the role that exists right now, not the role that you think people can grow into.”   Meet Your Host: Hi, I’m Shaa.
