“Hire for character, train for skill”

In this episode of the Master Delegator podcast, Kristy Yoder interviews Christiane Schroeter, a full-time professor, business owner, and host of the podcast "Happy, Healthy Hustle." With a passion for increasing happiness and empowering female entrepreneurs, Christiane runs her business "Hello, Happynest" and focuses on making wellness minimalistic and cost-efficient.

Throughout the episode, Christiane shares the significance of delegating tasks thoughtfully and likens it to the process of an airplane taking off, short-cutting the timeframe to success. She emphasizes the need to identify one's passion and focus on these areas while delegating the rest. Christiane discusses her effective hiring strategy that prioritizes character over skill, providing valuable insight into building a productive and enjoyable team.

Christiane also highlights the key role of self-care in entrepreneurship, discussing how prioritizing personal well-being is essential to thriving in business. She advises entrepreneurs to think about their legacy and align day-to-day activities with broader goals, avoiding the pitfall of taking on too much at once.

Key Takeaways
