I wish all the time that my dad had still been around when I was first starting out in my business.

As an entrepreneur himself, I believe he could have helped navigate me through those early days…especially through the steep learning curve of becoming a boss.

No one teaches you how to become a boss, let alone how to become a GOOD boss. Building, managing, and leading a team was by far the most difficult lesson I had to learn as a new CEO…and trust me, I did not get it right on the first try. Or the second. Or…well, let’s just say it took a while.

This episode marks the start of my series all about building a team. I believe that it’s high time we entrepreneurs start sharing the stories of our failures as well as our successes…and I’m happy to go first. 

So without further ado, let me tell you the story of the time I fired my entire team in one day…

There is nothing like taking a month-long vacation while your business is running seamlessly without you…and you know what's even more fun? Getting back to the office with nothing for you to actually do. 

No work piled up while you were gone. No breakdowns to fix. No drama to get a handle on. Just the business actually running seamlessly. 

This is probably one of the biggest dreams of the visionaries that we work with, but for so many, they don’t know what they have to do to make it possible. They’re too close to their business, and they have too many blind spots to see what they need to change.

If this sounds completely out of reach and impossible to you, stick around. I’m going to tell you a story about one of our previous clients who felt the very same…

I’ll be honest…for a very long time, it seemed like I would never get to enjoy the spaciousness in my life that my visionary heart desperately craved. 

For so, so long, I was stuck working my life away in my office, putting out fires, doing a bunch of mundane tasks, and just trying to keep the train on the rails.

This is the case for so many visionary CEOs. They crave freedom, they dream of spacious living, but for one reason or another, they just can’t seem to achieve it…

But I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way. There are many common capacity blocks that stop CEOs from scaling their business and living the life they want to live…I’ve experienced many of them myself. But I’ve also overcome them, and now I’m living that life I used to daydream about while I was trapped perpetually in my office!

Not only can I tell you what these capacity blocks are…but I can tell you how to get past them. Let’s get you over the hurdles in your way.

If you don’t know what an integrator is and why they are a crucial piece to add to your team, let me explain…

The team integrator is the person that knows how to drive the growth in your business, the person who understands operations and how to build systems and workflows, and the person who can manage your team and your projects. They are the person who will finally take the day-to-day operations out of your hands and allow you to become the true visionary you were always meant to be…

But when it comes to hiring them, there are several unique challenges you have to keep in mind…and several qualities you want to avoid. Let’s talk about how to hire the best team integrator you can.

One of the most difficult energetic shifts a CEO has to make is the shift from doer to visionary.

For the first little while in your business, as the CEO, your hands are in every project. You have to hold so many things up on your own shoulders that you can’t ever stop to breathe…

But once you do get the space to breathe, you can actually find yourself struggling with the space.

I’ve seen so many CEOs struggle with the transition from doing everything to letting their team take over. 

The instinct is to jump right back in and start micromanaging when something goes even a little bit wrong…but that’s not the way you’ll finally achieve the freedom a CEO needs in order to truly be the visionary in their business. Let’s talk about the shifts all CEOs need to make to achieve true freedom.

I am so thrilled to welcome Leona, my operations manager, and Mel, my recruitment manager, back to the podcast to expand on our conversation about building remote teams!

Last week, we discussed how deeply operations impact the way our team functions. However, we also briefly touched on how I have shifted my entire workforce to the Philippines; this week, we’re going to go deeper into the reasoning behind that decision, as well as some of the misconceptions many US CEOs carry concerning hiring in the Philippines.

I can genuinely say that hiring in the Philippines has been a complete game-changer for my business, and I firmly believe it can do the same for you.
