Who Should You Hire First? The Real Answer to ‘I’ll Just Do It Myself’
Description
Ever caught yourself saying "It only takes a few minutes, I'll just do it myself"? This seemingly innocent phrase might be the very thing holding your studio back from sustainable growth.
Those "quick" five-minute tasks—responding to DMs, handling sub requests, ordering supplies—aren't so quick when you add them up. They could be stealing hours of your week that could be spent on actual leadership. When you're stuck in this reactive cycle, your business becomes completely dependent on your constant presence and availability. This isn't just unsustainable; it's a recipe for burnout.
In this episode, I'm breaking down:
- How doing everything yourself can stop you from reaching your goals
- The two foundational roles every growing studio needs (and how they are different).
- A quick self-assessment to determine your most pressing hiring need.
- How intentional onboarding sets your team up for real ownership over time
- How strategic hiring lays the foundation for sustainable, long-term growth
You don't have to be the glue holding everything together. True leadership means building a team that runs with you, allowing your business to scale while you reclaim your time, energy, and passion for the vision that started it all.
