Most people hire help too early, delegate the wrong things, and wonder why they're somehow busier than before. I've made every one of those mistakes - so this episode is the conversation I wish I'd heard back when I was hiring my first team members.
This one's a little different. My friend Sarah Noked, founder of OBM School, had me on her OBM Show to talk about the client side of a long-term OBM relationship: what actually happens after the honeymoon phase, after the first launch together, after you've handed over real ownership. I've worked with my online business manager, Cortni, for almost eight years now, and I loved the conversation so much I wanted to bring it here to Work Less, Earn More.
We get into when you're truly ready to hire an OBM (hint: it's not a revenue number), the difference between hiring help and hiring leadership, and why more time won't save you if nothing in your business is working yet.
In this episode, I cover:
The real difference between hiring a VA and hiring an OBM
The one sign you're actually ready to hire (it's not a revenue number)
Why more help won't save a business that isn't working yet
What made me pass on the cheaper candidate and never regret it
How trust really gets built with an operational leader
The work you should never hand off, no matter how busy you are
