As a business owner, you know that your team can make or break your success.

But here’s a hard truth many entrepreneurs struggle to face: The people who helped you build your business may not be the ones to help you scale it.

In the latest episode of The Business You Really Want, co-host Tonya Kubo and I discuss making the most of your human resources — whether you’re a solopreneur or leading a growing team.

Here are just a few insights from the episode:

• Why your team members are both your most expensive AND most valuable resource
• The common mistake that leads to major headaches as your business grows
• How to define clear roles and responsibilities, even when wearing multiple hats
• The crucial conversations you need to have as your business evolves
• Why letting go of good people is sometimes necessary for sustainable growth

If you’ve ever struggled with delegation, accountability, or making tough staffing decisions, this episode applies. And if you haven’t, keep the tips shared in your back pocket for the future.
