You NEED to start building a team.

It's inevitable and at some point, you will realize that no matter how much you want to be in control of everything in your business, no matter how much you want to be able to do it all yourself - you can't! If you want to grow your business, you have to grow your team. It's as simple as that.

So, in this episode, we're talking about exactly how to do that. I'm covering how to know when you're ready, mistakes to avoid, and the most important thing that you can do for yourself, your employees, and your business! Let's do this.

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [03:04]  How do you know when you're ready to start hiring?

‣‣  [04:38]  What has building a team taught me?

‣‣  [09:39]  This is one of the most common things that I see go wrong when people start hiring.

‣‣  [17:57]  Let's talk about the importance of setting boundaries when it comes to...

It's time for us to take our relationship to the next level...

I want you to meet...

My team.

That's right, it's time! Listen, when 2020 got flipped upside down and we all had to close our doors and hole up in our apartments for the rest of the year, frozen in panic, I got to work building a team. And thanks to the work my team and I have done we made 2020 one of the best years of my business - in spite of it all!

I know hiring is something that scares a lot of people. It takes a lot of trust. But I actually have a lot of experience building good teams - first with my salon and now with my online business. And so I want to take a moment to introduce you to my ever-growing team because I'm honestly amazed by how we all just came together. Most of us have never in met in person, okay? We're all over the place because we work from home. We have team members in California, Missouri, Georgia. We're all around. But we've really become like a family...

When change scares you, that is typically a sign of growth.

A lot of beauty business owners will get to the point in their careers where they have all of the clients they wanted, are booked out months in advance the way they wanted, but they're not making the money they wanted. They're stressed out and all signs point to needing to hire more people for their team.

But that's scary, right? Because you're at the point you wanted to reach, you're in a place where you're comfortable, but suddenly there's a change in front of you that's scary. But that fear is typically a sign of growth. And if you want to make more money in your business then you have to grow and if you want to grow you have to do the uncomfortable things. Like I say, you have to do it scared. That's how I did it. 

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [02:05]  This is the problem with being overbooked. It can feel good to say - but it's actually a SIGN...

"It's not always going to be like, you walk in...like "I'm the best." For the first one to two years, it was just a lot of pushing myself...and just believing in myself and finding that confidence...You don't take this lightly. It's people's faces."
