“We’re busy, I’m overwhelmed, and my team is overwhelmed. We have more work than we can handle. I know we need to hire, but I’m scared. How do I know if we can even afford it?” Does this sound familiar? If this describes your experience, today’s episode is for you! Many business owners face this common problem, and we are diving deep into this topic today. We’ll address the fears around hiring, hiring PTSD, and the big question of how you can afford to hire a new team member.Tap the Potential provides valuable tools to help in every aspect of the hiring process to grow your sustainably profitable business.

The How to Hire the Best Course (and book) covers everything you’ll hear in today’s show.

I’ll wrap up with simple tips to help you uplevel your team this year for profitable growth.Because we love to celebrate wins here at Tap the Potential, we have a big win to celebrate with you today.

It is an exciting time of year with all the joys that the holidays bring! As the year winds down and we have time to reflect, it’s the best time to strategically plan for the year ahead. This episode kicks off the first in our four-part Strategic Planning Series, and today’s focus is on you, the entrepreneur—because the success of your business begins and ends with you. In the middle of all the challenges and failures, we have to be resilient to bring our best forward. We must stop and reflect on how we can learn from our failures because our best opportunities lie within those failures. To help set you up for success, we have the Strategic Planning Workbook for you to download as a guide for these next four episodes. As a bonus, your download includes the Tap the Potential Annual Strategic Planner to help you identify and prioritize your $10,000 an hour activities.Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster ride that fills your life with challenges, setbacks, struggles, and wins. As I have studied thriving entrepreneurs and what makes them different from those who burn out, resilience is a key factor. Think of resilience as a muscle that you can build; every setback and challenge makes you stronger and allows you to work those resilience muscles.&nbsp;One way to help strengthen those resilience muscles is to take advantage of our Better Business Better Life Jumpstart that is coming up in January. This free, five-day workshop gives you a glimpse of what it’s like to work with our expert team as we guide you through the Tap the Potential Solution to take your life back from your business. If you have worked during family vacations, missed your kids’ important events, or skipped family dinners because of work, we can help turn your life around. If you’ve put your dreams on hold and quit taking good care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally, these are signs that you need to be in our Jumpstart.
