You deserve a team that FREES your time — which means hiring the right people at the right time. But, many business owners struggle with hiring and managing their people – causing higher staff turnover, less commitment, and more work landing on your plate.

Because let’s be honest… most of us were never taught how to hire, delegate, lead, or let people go.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through the five most essential hires you need to make your business profitable AND sustainable – EVEN IF you’ve hired before and it didn’t work out.

Here’s What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

  • The crucial hire most business owners delay for too long (it will instantly free up 10 hours of your week!)
  • Why this unexpected hire (that doesn’t “technically” relate to business) will transform your output and ability to keep a clear head
  • How hidden burdens are affecting the capacity you have to grow your business and lead your team (these are UNFAIR, but true)
  • The trick to getting OUT of the weeds and stopping getting stuck doing $10/hour tasks instead of playing the CEO role
  • What happens when every client question, email, or calendar invite needs to go through you first – and who to hire to free up your time
  • Who to hire in order to have your marketing done for you – without needing to be involved in every detail
  • Why relying on your marketing alone might not be enough to bring in consistent sales, and what team member to add to bring in the sale
  • How to set up new team members for success with the right role descriptions, systems, and clear expectations (so they’re not waiting around for your next instruction!)
  • And so, so much more

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.
