In this episode, Karen Loftus, a leadership change coach, and I sat down and chatted about the journey all businesses go through as they grow from one person to a team, how disengaged employees hurt your bottom line and the overall effect of the "great resignation" on the entrepreneurial community.  

 Karen's corporate HR background and personal entrepreneurial journey give her huge insight into how it feels and her advice about transitioning yourself to a leader are to make sure you have a plan in place.   Karen's thoughts on the subject of hiring employees "...especially as a solopreneur, you're going to probably go a virtual route initially, because you need somebody part-time for doing something, whether it be a task or a process, or a one-time thing. I mean, one of those things. And so really, the first step is kind of is really figuring out what is the work? And am I willing to give up that work? Right away? And if the answer is yes, then you go forward."  

Taking a risk and adding a VA or other team member feels great and when managed properly can help catapult your business growth in new ways. Just make sure you have all your ducks in a row so you and your new team can grow.   Are you ready to find out what hiring can do for you?  Connect with Karen today via email and get a conversation started.
