Today is hard!   

 

Today is bittersweet!

 

Today is the last episode of the Fearless Business Podcast! 

 

While this may shock a few of you, we all know...not all decisions in business are easy, but sometimes they must be made.  

 

Mary and Jamie jump on one last time to share with you that, while they have absolutely loved sharing business strategies, mindsets and interviewing so many amazing guests, their businesses are moving in new directions and they are having to refocus their time and energy on things that will propel their businesses forward.

 

We want to thank you for supporting us and being alongside us throughout the years.

 

Please stay connected with both of us. We want to hear from you and stay connected to you and your businesses.

Jamie goes solo today to talk about one of her favorite topics...HIRING!   Why... you might ask? Because it was one of the most terrifying things she did at some point in her own business. But once you nail down the process, it gets easier every time.

 

In this episode, Jamie shares her Hiring 101 framework that will help conquer your hiring fears and give you the confidence and preparation to find the best candidate for your team, and tasks at hand.

 

Some of the great topics Jamie covers are:

> Reasons and mindsets that are holding you back from hiring

> The framework to hiring with confidence

> Distinction between an employee and a contractor 

> Legal tips and necessities when hiring an employee or a contractor

 

Once you find that first employee, Gusto for payroll and human resources purposes is highly recommended.

Do you know you need help in your business, but have no idea what you actually need to delegate or how to properly define the role you are looking to fill?

 

This is one of the biggest struggles of hiring. Narrowing down what you actually NEED to hire for to ensure you are getting responses from the “right” potential employee/contractor can be difficult.

 

In this episode, Mary flies solo and gives some incredible tips when it comes to finding the right person, for the right role, and for the right tasks. Before putting out your next job description or help wanted ad, you will want to listen in to gain valuable insight on how to prepare for that next hire.

 

Mary shares her experience and tips on:

> Who is the person you are looking to hire and what is their role 

> How to choose tasks that you are looking to delegate

> How to treat hiring as a company project and what this means

> Utilizing the “Whole Brain Thinking” technique when doing your next hire

> Ways to test and evaluate final candidates

This week Mary goes solo and brings us her experience and expertise on integrating your business time with other areas of your life.

 

According to Mary, having a work-life balance is unachievable, a myth, and sets you up for unrealistic expectations for yourself. Trying to obtain this so-called “work life balance” is overrated.   

 

Mary dives into a method she calls work life integration, where we stop focusing on multi-tasking all areas of your life... at one time.  Instead this integration focuses on separating and creating boundaries for each area of work, life, and self to be present, focused, and successful. 

 

In this episode, Mary shares on:

> The 3-tier pyramid structure to obtain work life integration

> Tips and tools to manage and evaluate each area of self, home, and work life

> Time management, efficiency, and frequent check-ins in all areas of work and life through each stage of your business.

> Creating and implementing process and procedures to simplify and have systems in place

Please join us in the HQ. We’d love to hear from you - where do you spend most of your time in these three areas...self, home/family, or your business?
