Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Have you hit the limit of the growth you can single-handedly bring to your agency? What steps are you taking to ensure you continue to be your organization's MVP? For many agency owners, reaching hitting a glass ceiling on growth signals the need to bring on a skilled operator to help eliminate low-value tasks from their schedule. Today's featured guest specializes in operations hiring and has developed a systematic approach to identifying and delegating low value tasks that consume CEOs' time and energy. As an expert in operational efficiency, she trains operators to create effective processes that free founders to focus on strategic growth. She shares her secret to a great hiring funnel, what results to expect from an operator's first 90 days in your agency, and the #1 thing an operator does for their agency founder. Learn actionable insights on breaking through operational bottlenecks and building a strong operational foundation through strategic hiring and training. Jhana Li is a former COO and the founder of Spyglass Ops, an Operations Hiring Agency, working on behalf of digital businesses to find and hire operations positions. She discusses the challenges agency owners face when trying to scale their businesses and share insights on breaking through the common glass ceiling that many entrepreneurs encounter. Jhana emphasizes that growth stagnation often occurs when founders reach their personal limits in creativity and productivity. She provides valuable strategies for developing new skill sets and building a capable team to propel business growth beyond personal capabilities. In this episode, we'll discuss: The secret to a great hiring funnel that attracts A-players. The crucial first 90 days that determines an operator's success. The #1 thing an operator does for a CEO.

Scaling Your Agency Beyond the Founder's Glass Ceiling As a former COO, Jhana has seen the glass ceiling many founders encounter at some point in their growth occurs once they've hit the limit of the growth they can personally create. It's no longer about showing up and single-handedly working out every problem or how innovative they can be. Breaking through that glass ceiling requires both personal transformation and strategic team building. The path forward demands founders step back from their hands-on approach and focus on developing a trusted leadership structure. This includes establishing middle management positions across all functional departments, ensuring each area has dedicated decision-makers and strategic thinkers. Central to this evolution is hiring an operations manager who can unify the team and create organizational cohesion, transforming disparate departments into a synchronized whole. Do You Have a Hiring Funnel That Consistently Attracts A-Players? For Jhana, hiring A-players is not about fishing in the right pond but rather using the right fishing rod. Great talent is available everywhere but does your agency have a hiring funnel that will consistently extract the right A-players for the right role? A strategically designed hiring funnel serves as both an attractor and a filter, automatically screening out 95% to 98% of applicants before they reach the interview stage. This efficiency comes from carefully crafted criteria that not only draw in ideal candidates but also discourage those who wouldn't be a good fit, saving valuable time and resources. This approach contrasts sharply with the common scarcity-driven hiring mindset, where employers cast wide nets and hesitate to filter out any candidates. According to Jhana, a well-structured hiring system achieves better results by focusing on quality over quantity, ultimately leading to conversations with only the most promising 3% of candidates who truly align with the role requirements. What's the Secret to a Great Hiring Funnel? Building mousetraps in your job post and hiring process is one thing – for instance, Jhana and her team add a codeword to the job description that they'll ask the candidate to repeat during the job application process. However, she only uses that type of strategy for roles that require a high level of attention to detail. Other than that, she has a secret weapon that has consistently given her the best results: performing a skill assessment before sending a candidate to interviews. Skill assessments can take up to two hours, which is exactly the point. It's a way to stress test the candidate to see if they already have the experience for the role. Jhana likes to include very specific questions to get candidates to think about how they would tackle a major challenge associated with that role, which experienced candidates will have no problem doing. Moreover, the effort a candidate puts into completing a skill assessment can be telling. A candidate who submits a thorough, well-structured response demonstrates a commitment to excellence and an understanding of the expectations of the role. In contrast, a lackluster submission may indicate a lack of motivation or a superficial understanding of the job requirements. Candidates who have genuine experience in a given area will articulate their thoughts with clarity and assurance, while those who are less familiar may struggle to provide coherent answers. By designing assessments that require candidates to draw on their past experiences, you can better identify those who are truly equipped to handle the challenges of the role. The First 90 Days: A Guide to Integrating New Operators Jhana has learned that an experienced operator will take their first 30 days with a company to observe, learn, and listen before they jump in and start fixing things. They understand that what they see at first glance might not be the root cause issue at play. Therefore, if they jump in and start tacking inefficiencies right away they might be missing the actual issue. From a founder's perspective, it may be frustrating, as they expect immediate results. However, it is essential for operators to familiarize themselves with the intricacies of the business to address the root causes of inefficiencies effectively. To prevent these frustrations, Jhana recommends scheduling a “success meeting” at the second-week mark. By that time, your operator will have had two weeks to observe the inner workings of your agency. During this meeting, the operator presents their findings and aligns with the founder on priorities moving forward. The result of this meeting should be a clear understanding of what the operator is expected to accomplish within their first 90 days so the founder knows this is in fact the right person for the job. How much time should you invest in training a COO? Jhana knows of cases where the founder is still training their ops manager six months later. To her, you should always keep in mind that any time spent on training is an investment on that person and they won't return on that investment until they are fully functional in their role. She prefers to do a 14-day boot camp before seeing ROI. During that time, she makes herself available every day for a minimum of 30 minutes so they can ask any questions or run something by her. The #1 Thing an Operator Should Do for the CEO The most important thing an ops manager should be doing for their CEO is help optimize their time to maximize their contributions to the organization and ensure that they focus on high-value tasks that drive growth. The CEO is supposed to be the agency's MVP and yet they constantly undervalue themselves when they spend time doing low-value tasks. This is why Jhana trains her operators to do a time audit on their CEO during their first 30 days in the organization. As a result, they can determine how much of the founder's time is going to low-value tasks and prepare a game plan to get them out of day-to-day operations. This misallocation of time detracts from the CEO's ability to innovate and lead and costs the organization in terms of lost opportunities and diminished productivity. Why not start now? Even if you're not at the point where you can hire an operator, do a time audit, locate the low-value tasks taking up too much of your time, and then delegate them to an assistant. That alone would make a huge difference in ensuring you're spending more time growing the business. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

A few weeks ago I taught about how to make money in stocks by using the 7 criteria I depend on for how to pick stocks. (See below for a link to that full video.) In today's ARMR Week in Review education segment we're doing a follow up to that process that will show you a step-by-step review of how we applied those 7 criteria to pick a stock ($TTD) that brought us a 260% profit on a call position — in just six days. ** Rosenthal Rant – BBBY MEME stock craze explained in 5 min  ** ARMR Education -- With almost 35 years of experience (including being a partner in the largest equity business at three NYC wirehouses, plus running multiple hedge funds for a decade), my goal is to teach you everything I know about how successful portfolio managers successfully invest in the stock market — so that you can start using those tools in your stock market investing and trading approach. **Week in Review – We'll look back at global and market news, ARMR portfolios, and even trades from our virtual hedge fund live trading desk to fully digest what occurred in the past week and set up how to know where to invest in the stock market in the week ahead.  DISCLAIMER: All of ARMRreport, our trades, strategies, and news coverage are based on our opinions alone and are only for educational purposes.

You know the truth. Every single one of us has bad days. The easy kind, and the hard kind. But far fewer of us end up being successful with our goals. Why is that?

Peter Naldrett, author of Around the Coast in 80 Days: A Guide to Britain’s Best Coastal Towns, Beaches, Cliffs, & Headlands (Bloomsbury) begins his enjoyable trip around the British coast with the notion that reaching the seaside for most Britons is a matter of only a 1-2 hour car ride. And the foreign reader begins to understand just why Britain’s seaside towns are so engrained in the nation’s culture. The appeal of the bracing English seaside as an attractive destination began in the eighteenth century, when resorts such as Scarborough attracted city dwellers with promises of renewed health and vigor and cures for ailments as diverse as gout and barrenness. From that time, port and coastal cities took on more significance than just places from which to embark on a journey or return from one. The energetic Victorian Age, with its rapid expansion of industry and transportation, made a journey to the seaside affordable and accessible for everyone from farm workers in the Midlands to factory workers from Manchester. Coastal towns vied with one another to deliver the most appealing experiences for visitors with esplanades, promenades, and piers and amusement parks, theaters with headline talent, and hotels and restaurants to lure visitors to extend their stay overnight. Peter Naldrett brings a boundless enthusiasm for his expedition: to circle Britain and curate 80 of the best seaside venues, and from these extrapolate three or four of the most iconic and enjoyable experiences. The result is an enjoyable and absorbing read whether you are in an armchair or hurtling around the M25 trying to decide which exit to take. Naldrett is an engaging writer with a total command of, and delight in, his subject. His exhaustive research has yielded something for almost everyone: sports fans, history buffs, and nature lovers. If walking is your thing, Around the Coast in 80 Days reveals not only the well-worn coastal paths, but lesser known deserted stretches of beach where you can revel in solitude with only birds and seals for company. There are also treacherous tidal walks, which can leave you stranded if you are not mindful of the timetables. The appealing pages of Around the Coast in 80 Days are heaving with intriguing sights, sounds, quirky traditions, delectable local fare, and historical milestones. We discover the lurid charms of the Goth Fest, the origins of the deep-fried Mars Bar and the tongue twister, “she sells seashells by the seashore,” and Britain’s smallest and largest pub. Naldrett explores the Britain’s coastline in a clockwise trip that begins in Liverpool and ends in Wales. The book is divided into nine regions as Naldrett makes his way through the region’s coastal cities. As one who loves to explore all of Britain’s highways and byways, I was delighted to reunite with old friends such as Rhossili and Folkestone, Padstow and St. Andrews, and added quite a few new venues to my bucket (and spade) list. At a very minimum, there are at least 80 fish and chip shops to sample, and isn’t that all the reason you need to embark on an exploration of Britain’s delightful coast?

Cheryl has impacted the lives of thousands of women through her life-changing principles of FEARLESS living. She is an award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, author, and business coach who specializes in equipping women to stretch their thinking, expand their expectations, and play bigger. Her message of empowerment has been spotlighted on Fox 5 News, News Channel 8, Radio One, WPGC, WHUR, My Spirit DC, Afro-American Newspaper, and more. Cheryl inspires women to embrace their personal power to visualize, strategize, and execute in order to achieve their life, career, or business goals.

Cheryl’s personal story is one of determination and resilience. In her journey, she repeatedly demonstrates the power of nurturing your possibilities and immobilizing fear. Raised as one of three children in a single-parent household in low-income housing in Baltimore, Maryland, Cheryl witnessed poverty and crime on a daily basis. However, from a young age she developed an “internal conviction” that she would not become a product of her environment, but rather she would implement the life skills her mother instilled in her – hard work, integrity, loyalty, drive, and passion – to create a different reality for herself. Immediately after graduating high school, Cheryl jumped into the work force and quickly landed a number of senior administrative positions in Corporate America. For nearly 20 years, she built a career that would have seemed “comfortable” for most. But, it wasn’t enough for Cheryl. Once she married and became a mother of three, her spirit yearned for more. Cheryl fell into a space of being frustrated and unfulfilled in life with a desire to do more, become more, and set an example for her children that it is never too late to pursue your dreams. She ditched the idea of just dreaming about her aspirations and, instead, began to pursue them without thoughts of ever turning back. The results are still astounding to most. In a five year period, Cheryl started a mommy t-shirt business, walked away from her Corporate job, and built an international speaking and coaching business. She made the decision to walk in her greatness without apologies or regrets to become a mission-driven entrepreneur living in her purpose. Cheryl authentically shares the ups and downs of her journey and inspires women to persevere until they reach their goals even in the face of challenges, setbacks, fears and doubts.

EPIS0DE 105 ON JERRY ROYCE LIVE! BOOK - How I Flatlined and Woke Up in 45 DaysEnthusiastic. Engaging. Innovative.Cheryl Wood is a compelling thought leader and motivational speaker who possesses a deep-rooted passion for supporting the personal development and economic empowerment of women globally. Cheryl has impacted the lives of thousands of women through her life-changing principles of FEARLESS living. She is an award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, author, and business coach who specializes in equipping women to stretch their thinking, expand their expectations, and play bigger. Her message of empowerment has been spotlighted on Fox 5 News, News Channel 8, Radio One, WPGC, WHUR, My Spirit DC, Afro-American Newspaper, and more. Cheryl inspires women to embrace their personal power to visualize, strategize, and execute in order to achieve their life, career, or business goals. Her sheer enthusiasm for achieving what others deem “impossible” is contagious and sparks a flame among her audiences to step outside of their comfort zone, take risks, and remove self-limiting beliefs to become the best version of themselves. Cheryl’s personal story is one of determination and resilience. In her journey, she repeatedly demonstrates the power of nurturing your possibilities and immobilizing fear. Raised as one of three children in a single-parent household in low-income housing in Baltimore, Maryland, Cheryl witnessed poverty and crime on a daily basis. However, from a young age she developed an “internal conviction” that she would not become a product of her environment, but rather she would implement the life skills her mother instilled in her – hard work, integrity, loyalty, drive, and passion – to create a different reality for herself. Immediately after graduating high school, Cheryl jumped into the work force and quickly landed a number of senior administrative positions in Corporate America. For nearly 20 years, she built a career that would have seemed “comfortable” for most. But, it wasn’t enough for Cheryl. Once she married and became a mother of three, her spirit yearned for more. Cheryl fell into a space of being frustrated and unfulfilled in life with a desire to do more, become more, and set an example for her children that it is never too late to pursue your dreams. She ditched the idea of just dreaming about her aspirations and, instead, began to pursue them without thoughts of ever turning back. The results are still astounding to most. In a five year period, Cheryl started a mommy t-shirt business, walked away from her Corporate job, and built an international speaking and coaching business. She made the decision to walk in her greatness without apologies or regrets to become a mission-driven entrepreneur living in her purpose. Cheryl authentically shares the ups and downs of her journey and inspires women to persevere until they reach their goals even in the face of challenges, setbacks, fears and doubts.
