If you start a small business, you're the one doing everything and it takes a lot of courage and a lot of trust to start to turn things over to someone else. Today's guest will share three steps to help you delegate and hire the right people. Jamie Van Cuyk, the owner and lead strategist of Growing Your Team, helps women who own small businesses become confident leaders who hire right every single time. Drawing from over 15 years of leadership experience, Jamie teaches her clients how to master the art of hiring. By learning the dynamics of each company and their specific needs, she helps them find their perfect-fit, long-lasting team members and avoid the hiring and firing cycle. Jamie's journey to entrepreneurship wasn't a straight line. She learned everything she could about running a business while still in corporate. She went into management to learn how to manage people and took on special projects to gain insight into other departments. When Jamie quit her job, she chose to try to start a software development company on the side while she cared for her young daughter. She did not know how to program, but her husband did.  She lasted six months learning to program before she realized it wasn't for her. “I realized I loved consulting,” says Jamie. “The main projects that I ended up working on were all around leadership development. One was a big training program for some of their leaders, and another one was helping a first-time manager really come fully into their role.” She had a Chamber of Commerce membership, and she started networking with small business owners attending those events. “I kept hearing over and over again that hiring was their number one problem,” says Jamie. Her plan was to help corporate clients, but she heard again and again the need for hiring solutions at a small business level.  Her business now focuses on hiring, education and really focusing on narrowing down to that ideal candidate and making sure the business owner has what they need to find that candidate. Even with this service offering, Jamie had to change her mindset and realize that she too could delegate tasks and enhance her offerings. Jamie outlines three steps to build trust when hiring a candidate to delegate your tasks to. Be clear on who you're going to hire. How are they going to fit into your organization? What is the expected communication style? Who are you as a manager? What does it mean for someone to be successful in this role? Set up a hiring process that brings you directly to your ideal candidate. You need to be specific. It's okay with your job posting to turn people off.  Onboarding takes time. The onboarding path and timeframe will look different for every position, but you have to train on all your expectations. Keep that in mind is even if someone is an expert at what they do and they're bringing their expertise to your business, you have to teach them how to do it inside your organization. It's that constant feedback loop and being able to let them do small things incrementally until they figure out how to do it the way you want it done.  Connect with Jamie Van Cuyk: https://growingyourteam.com Jamie's hiring checklist: https://growingyourteam.com/hiring-checklist/  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: What Workplace Culture Really Means https://sarahwalton.com/workplace-culture/  Do You Know Who Your Team Is? https://youtu.be/9ax9hDZQZ3I?si=iSkNYpmZeXxwA9dB  You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too! http://bit.ly/YouTubeSWalton   Thank you so much for listening.

In this conversation, Nick and Marshall discuss the challenges of hiring and leading a team in the detailing industry. They emphasize the importance of finding the right balance between being understanding and holding team members accountable. They also highlight the need for clear procedures and documentation to ensure consistency and efficiency in the business. The conversation delves into the development of leadership skills and the pitfalls of being a know-it-all leader. Lastly, they touch on the topic of fair compensation for team members and the need for open-mindedness in business. Takeaways Experiment with different techniques and seasonings when grilling steaks to find your preferred method. Don't let negative comments discourage you from creating content. Learn to laugh them off and focus on the positive feedback. Infrastructure plays a crucial role in the success of new technologies, such as electric and hydrogen vehicles. Convenience is an important aspect of infrastructure, as seen in the popularity of gas stations and stores like Buc-ee's. The automotive industry has seen its fair share of car flops and failures, highlighting the importance of market research and understanding consumer preferences. Finding the right balance between understanding and accountability is crucial when leading a team. Clear procedures and documentation are essential for consistency and efficiency in the business. Developing leadership skills requires open-mindedness and a willingness to learn from others. Fair compensation for team members is important for employee satisfaction and retention.

There's a misconception out there that scaling is the only way to increase revenue, increase profit, have more time, and run your business more efficiently. However, many solopreneurs and small business owners don't really want to scale. In fact, what many call scaling, isn't really scaling at all!

Kim shares strategies for achieving your goals without scaling, and without continuously growing your team. If you're looking to stay small, but also increase revenue and profit, while getting your time back, this episode is for you.  KEY POINTS FROM THIS EPISODE You can increase revenue and profit without scaling your business Scaling is a form of growth, but you can grow your business without scaling.

“No one can do it the way you are doing it, but it doesn't necessarily mean your way is the best way or the only way.” -Jamie Van Cuyk Hiring the right candidate is challenging, often we are better suited to, or skilled at other areas of our business. Sometimes we may even think putting out a job advertisement is a piece of cake and yet are baffled when we don't get suitable applicants or worse, hire someone that just doesn't fit well with the business.  We can't hire the right people into our business until we fully understand what the right person looks like.
