We’ve all dreamt about it. Hiring that fabulous unicorn who can do #allthethings in our business. A seemingly instant solution to all the pieces you’re trying to juggle and fit together. A fast track to business growth without the issues. Ok, let’s cut back to reality from that impossible fantasy. #Truthbomb - Unicorn team members don’t exist. And in today’s episode I’m going to tell you why and how by avoiding the unicorn dream you will people-proof your business and elevate at the same time.

In this episode I share:

  • Why hiring a unicorn (if you can actually find one) is super high risk for your business 
  • The pitfalls of relying on one person and how you need to people proof instead
  • How hiring average but feel good fit is the real secret
  • The importance of knowing your hiring criteria and matching it to create a successful and sustainable business

If you want real expansion without the high risk fantasy, it’s time to build a team with rock solid systems - so tune in to this ep for a dose of no bs truth that will eliminate the heartache and elevate the average into an angelic team that thrives. Thank me later.
