In today's episode of The Biz Doctor, Lauren Goldstein really peeled back the curtain and did something we have never done before - discuss a business through the business owner's eyes instead of through Lauren’s as Advisor and fractional COO.

They say comparison is the thief of joy. As business owners, oftentimes is very hard not to compare your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel.

Welcome back to the Biz Doctor podcast, with host Lauren Goldstein is guest Andy Fickett, president of Fickett Structural Solutions.

Andy shares his story of how he found success faster by hiring outside experts. He talks about the challenges he faced as a small business owner and how hiring consultants helped him overcome those challenges. He also offers advice to make partnerships with outside consultants a success for other business owners who are hesitant to hire outside help.
