  • 91. The 4-Week Vacation with Dr. Sabrina Starling

    Are you sick of feeling like the only one who really moves the needle forward in your business is you? Would your life change if you had A-Players showing up in your business every day, ready to solve problems, take work off your plate, and innovate? What would it mean to you if you had so much trust in your team members that you could actually work 40 hours a week and then be present at home (and finally take time for yourself, your family, and your LIFE)? We talk with Dr. Sabrina Starling , the Business Psychologist and author of How to Hire the Best.  Dr. Sabrina shares about her new book, The 4-Week Vacation: The Entrepreneur's Ultimate Guide to Taking Your Life Back from Your Business.
