And I think that finding those niches, like who are the right people, what do they bring to the table and how do we motivate and bring them up versus letting them flail."13:48 "Everything that I read was what I was going through ... I have to really remember what my purpose is and to walk through the door that I'm in a business and I'm not walking into my house. Like family is family but business is business and you gotta remember that. It's not always the same."17:33 "It's so important that we look for people who can be teachers, mentors, leaders, crew leaders, people that we respect, it makes all the difference in our lives, in our careers. Not so easy when they're assigned to a crew leader that they don't really admire."24:30 "It's almost like we're in little league and we're trying to learn the rules of the game. And I've got a bunch of players who aren't in the little league anymore but they're outgrowing their uniforms and still don't know a lot of the rules."27:43 "What is it like to be a woman in roofing and it's not easy. You gotta make sure that you have a seat at the table and, if you don't, you gotta get a chair and bring it over."34:30 "If you're going to be the next generation, you have to be able to take over at some point. And if you don't take the reigns then you're gonna be out of control. I have to remind myself of that all the time."36:35 "As we think about our visions for our lives and our businesses, we should start with a vision for our life first because if we create this giant vision for our business, we will crowd out any kind of vision we might have for our lives and our businesses should support our lives. Not the other way around."To learn more about Hillary, you can check out the links below.Website -www.mcpartlonroofing.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/hillaryrmcpartlonEmail - [email protected] you enjoyed today’s episode, please subscribe, review and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.
