We're taking seperate paths…at work. Maggie's stepping away from Gains after 6+ years, and it's the first time since 2015 that we won't be working together. In this special episode we're going to talk more in-depth on how she made this decision, what led to it and what's to come for Maggie in the future.

P.S. Don't worry, we're still going to keep doing this podcast.

If you've set the right goals and have the right strategy but you're still not getting the outcome you want in your business, the bottleneck is your team. For an employee to be successful in their role, it is absolutely crucial that they have the right guidelines and massive clarity on what success in their role actually looks like. This is where scorecards come into play and the great thing is, they can be used for hiring as well.
