Planning, Growth Zones

Are you ready to stop doing it all yourself and start growing your dream business? In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most exciting (and, let’s be honest, sometimes intimidating) parts of business growth – building and leading a team.

Whether you’re a solopreneur juggling all the tasks, running a micro business and ready to grow, or managing a full-scale business, this episode is packed with practical tips and real-world strategies to help you scale in a way that feels right for YOU.

I’m sharing lessons I’ve learned over the years – starting with just me and my partner PJ in a spare guest room – along with actionable steps you can take today to move from being a doer to becoming a confident leader.

In the Episode:

  • The stages of business growth and how to decide what level is right for you
  • Why solopreneurs often face burnout and how to take the first step toward building a team
  • How to create a vision for your business that aligns with your lifestyle and long-term goals
  • The key differences between running a micro business and a full-scale entrepreneurial business
  • Why “you can do anything, but not everything” is the mantra every business owner needs
  • Practical steps to identify which tasks you should delegate or outsource
  • The importance of hiring the right people to fill gaps in your business and free up your time
  • How to move from being a doer to being a leader in your business
  • Strategies to attract, manage, and retain a team that supports your vision
  • Tips for transitioning your mindset from working IN your business to working ON your business
