How To Grow Your Business When the Time Is Right
The goal of hiring is to allow each member of your team to spend more time in their zone of genius on the tasks they can do better than anyone else. However, this sometimes requires a bit of guidance. Tasha Booth is the CEO and Founder of The Launch Guild and is an expert in hiring, outsourcing, and growing a team effectively.
The Importance of Doing a Time Inventory
Often as small business owners, we equate our identity to doing all the work for our businesses ourselves. It takes some mindset work to realize that ultimately, your most important work is in steering the ship.
This means that you need to make time to do the visionary work that often falls to the wayside when you’re running around, trying to put out every fire yourself.
Tasha suggests starting out by taking a time inventory and defining the difference between a ‘$20 per hour task’ and a ‘$100 per hour task’.
Taking time inventories is a strategy that I personally love and really helps to analyze the time you need to make your business more profitable and more enjoyable.
Communication Is Key When It Comes To Your Team
Communication and preparation are two of the most important things to address when bringing someone new onto your team.
Instead of operating in the entrenched ways you’ve been thinking about your business, you need to identify and remove yourself from the areas in which you’re causing a bottleneck in your processes and shift your mindset away from ‘me’ and into ‘we’.
Your team will outlast your clients if you build a good culture. By delegating effectively, creating a container of communication, open feedback, and making hiring decisions based on which role is going to make the biggest difference in your business, you can create a team that is even better and more efficient.
