We often hear about women wanting to reach the holy grail of 7 figures, but why stop there? Thinking small and holding back from introducing innovative ideas into their business because of the fear of hiring specialized team members and then having to lead them is a gate many women business owners are reluctant to walk through. Instead, they stay stuck, stay safe and the business stalls. In this episode, our guest, Joyce Durst of Growth Acceleration Partners is going to show us that small business owners can lead team members with unique technical skills and lead them well. She has 30 years of software industry experience and manages a multi-national team of about 300 employees, so she really knows what she’s talking about.
