When is the right time to expand your team? 🤔

It’s a loaded question with many variables. So let’s break it down.

First, ask yourself: Why do I want to expand my team?
Is it because you’re overwhelmed with tasks that don’t excite you?
Or are you bogged down with work that pulls you away from your area of genius? 🌟

If it’s the latter, that’s a valid reason to consider bringing someone on board. But remember, expanding your team should be driven by efficiency, not just a dislike for certain tasks.

Adding a team member can streamline processes, boost productivity, and let you focus on what you do best.

However, don’t expand just to offload work you don’t enjoy. Leaders often have to tackle tasks they don’t love to get things done. Instead, think about bringing in someone who thrives in the area where you’re currently stretched thin.

It could be a full-time hire, a fractional team member, or a consultant. The key is to fill gaps with people who excel in those specific areas. 🚀

Ultimately, focus on aligning team roles with your company’s mission and ensuring everyone is working in their zone of genius. That’s where real magic happens. ✨
