Summary
In today's episode, I want to talk to you about growing a team, and how my business has grown from just me to now having 9 expert employees.
Growing a team can be challenging and letting people into your business is scary and I'll be honest, I resisted delegating to others for far too long, but then I realised when you're doing absolutely everything in a business; the book-keeping, the marketing, the admin etc, you have less time for the things that you do best.
The only way to have a successful business that prioritises freedom is to have the right people alongside you and for a long time I worried someone else couldn't do all the jobs as well as me - well spoiler alert, they do it better than me because that's their zone of genius.
So having shifted my approach to how I recruit to look within my audience and network I've built up an A-team of superstars that's been a real game-changer.
What You'll Learn In This Episode:
- How I recruited my business team and why I've never regretted a single hire.
- My goals and vision for the team in 2022, including how we plan to shift to a 4 day work week.
- How we've created an open work culture.
- Why I value attitude over skillset when hiring.
- What's been working well for us and what we want to improve in the next 12 months.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Making Money Online with Lisa Johnson, the podcast that tells you what it really |
| 0:09.2 | takes to build a business and the simple steps to get you there. I'm determined to share |
| 0:13.6 | with you the reality of easy, simple business marketing tips to make passive income so that you |
| 0:19.1 | can start making money online. |
| 0:30.7 | Hello, welcome to this week's podcast. My voice is all over the place today because I caught my second bout of COVID. So it's a bit, all I've got is what feels like a cold, but my voice comes and goes. And I've been |
| 0:39.2 | putting off doing this podcast for about six days going, I'll wait till my voice is better, |
| 0:44.5 | but I don't think it's going to get that for a while. So I'm doing it imperfectly because that's |
| 0:50.5 | okay. It's all right not to do things perfectly. So I'm showing you that that's okay |
| 0:55.8 | by doing it myself. So today I wanted to talk to you about growing a team because I think |
| 1:02.5 | sometimes we wait too long to grow a team. I know I did and I definitely wouldn't say I'm an expert |
| 1:07.7 | this. This isn't something that I teach necessarily, but it's something that |
| 1:11.4 | I've managed to get right by doing things a bit differently to how I've seen other people |
| 1:16.4 | grow teams. But I didn't have a team for much longer than I should have if we're going to be |
| 1:21.7 | honest about it because I'm a bit scared. If I think back now to like a year and a half ago when I had no team at all, |
| 1:29.9 | I had got to a position where really I should have been hiring a team, but I was scared that |
| 1:35.5 | what if I delegate and they don't do it as well as me, which I get now, I look back is a really |
| 1:42.7 | stupid thing to think because of course they're |
| 1:45.1 | going to do things better than you. This is their job. That's their zone of genius. But we always |
| 1:49.9 | think, you know, they don't, they won't understand how we do it, but they will. And I was worried |
| 1:54.7 | as well that what if I have people come into the business and just like copy everything and go |
| 2:00.4 | and do it themselves because I'd |
| 2:01.7 | had that with clients. So I was a bit worried that they'd see everything behind the scenes. |
