The Impact Ripple - Hiring and Leadership for Visionary Female Business Owners

If I had a dime for every time someone said they were afraid of hiring because they don’t want to mess up, I could have already retired!
All kidding aside, this is one of the most common concerns I hear from folks who are just getting started growing their team.
Some of the worry stems from not wanting to destroy something you’ve built from scratch and poured your heart and soul into (which is 1000% relatable).
And some of it comes from being really good at a lot of things in your business, because you’ve had to figure a lot of stuff out along the way. And it’s hard to be new again.
But that’s exactly what you’re experiencing – being new.
New to the idea of hiring and growing your team.
New to the skill of finding and hiring the right people.
New to being a leader and having people look to you for guidance and inspiration.
New to handling the challenges and obstacles that come with leading others.
New at it all.
Being new can be scary and overwhelming.
We have the desire to master new things quickly in order to get through the discomfort that comes with not knowing what we’re doing.
But being new isn’t a bad thing. In fact, being new and making mistakes is exactly how adults learn best. So it’s best to dive right in!
In today’s episode, we’re talking all about being new and it’s absolutely the pep talk you need if hiring and leading a team is on your future plans!
