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

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
