💰 Will hourly pay actually punish your most efficient team members? In this eye-opening episode, I challenge the outdated "time equals money" model and r share a better approach that creates more stability for everyone involved. As entrepreneurs, we need to shift our perspective from paying for time to paying for results.

I share a real client dilemma that perfectly illustrates the hidden costs of hourly work: convoluted budgeting, team stress, and the counterintuitive reality that hourly rates reward slower work over quality results. With my signature blend of practical wisdom and personal stories (including my own tax surprise that triggered a week-long nervous system reset!), I break down:

✅ Why paying for time creates unnecessary budget variability and stress for both you and your team members

✅ How to transition from hourly to flat-rate compensation without blowing your budget

✅ Learn why hourly pay actually punishes efficiency and rewards slower work

✅ Three smart alternatives to hourly billing that foster team loyalty and better results

Overall, I deliver a passionate case for why paying for results—not hours—creates healthier businesses and happier teams. That responsibility might feel scary, but creating consistency in how you compensate your team is actually LESS complicated than tracking hourly work and creates a workplace environment that fosters collaboration, creativity, and a permission to lead.

Whether you're hiring your first assistant or managing an established team, this episode provides the roadmap for creating compensation structures that reflect your values as a leader who truly cares about building a collaborative workplace culture where everyone thrives.
