In this episode, Liz and Nelson interview Shannon Olsen, owner of My Utah Stagers. Shannon shares how to buy a company and grow it into a successful business while never working in the business as a stager or driver. This episode covers not only the traits needed to grow a side hustle into a successful business, but it also covers how to hire the right talent, find the right office and warehouse space, and marketing that makes your business pop. Shannon shares insight on how she used her full time job as a realtor to help facilitate growth by spotting a need in the real estate industry. Join us for this special episode to learn how to grow a Business Greater Than You.
