| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello and welcome back to the FitBiz podcast. So today, we have a part two of an episode. So a few |
| 0:06.2 | episodes back I recorded with a really awesome couple and students of ours. And we talked all about, |
| 0:12.7 | well, the episode title is going from one client a week to one client a day, if you listen to that. |
| 0:17.5 | So it is Amy and Justin. And they just had a lot to share. Really, really |
| 0:22.9 | great stuff. So I broke it into two parts. So the second part that you're going to listen to today, |
| 0:28.0 | we talked about the challenges of hiring, delegating, finding A players, the first lessons when |
| 0:34.5 | hiring. And, you know, they've really, they've been in the game for a little while this |
| 0:38.5 | isn't their first business so they're a little more advanced so this is more of a you know advanced |
| 0:43.5 | coach episode if you're to that point where you're really wanting to scale and hire um we had just |
| 0:48.9 | some really great lessons in here for that we also talked about the skill set needed when you go from coach to leader, |

| 1:00.9 | solopreneur doing everything in the business to leading others to do that. We shared some lessons |
| 1:06.1 | there. These two are also a husband and wife duo. So we talked about just working with your spouse and |
| 1:12.4 | having awareness around if you have similar skill sets or complementary skills sets and when does it |
| 1:18.4 | make sense to work with your spouse, when might it not make sense, how the two of them have |
| 1:22.9 | made it work. Yeah. And so really it's all about kind of that transition from solopreneur to building, |
| 1:30.6 | scaling, from, you know, having good, consistent maybe 10, 15K months to really going for it, |
| 1:36.8 | building a team. And they share their experience. I hope this is a really valuable episode for |
| 1:41.1 | you. Enjoy. Let's talk, though, about, you know, when you guys first came to us, |
| 1:47.9 | it was just the two of you. You were doing everything in the business. And let's talk about |
| 1:52.1 | delegating and hiring because I know, I know that has not been an easy road for you guys. |
| 1:58.0 | And it never is. And it never is just like just like oh i have the dream team now you know |
