EP408: How to Work With a #2 To Scale Your Business

If you’ve hit a growth plateau in your business, there’s a good chance it’s time to hire your second in command. I’ve seen designers in our Flourish and Thrive community experience these plateaus, which keeps them from moving forward. They know they “should” be hiring, but they put it off because they’re unsure how to hire a great team member or which activities to let a number two take ownership of. This is a common stumbling block which is why I’m so excited to have Carla Garro and Sam Wunschell of Lita Seaglass on the Thrive by Design podcast. They generously shared how working as a team has helped the company double in size and revenue.  In Podcast EP#408, we go in-depth about hiring the right team for growth… Making sure that you know your strengths so that you can hire people who complement you  Hiring a second in command who is the polar opposite of the creative visionary Keeping an open mind about what you want and how you like to communicate to find the right person for each role  Training your team to self-direct and to feel confident in making decisions without worrying about making mistakes And so much more…   Here are the resources mentioned in the show: The Ultimate Marketing and Social Media VA Hiring Template for Jewelry Business Owners   Are you enjoying the podcast?
