EP305: Shelli Warren - Building Your Dream Bookkeeping Team

“You’re offering a career, not a J-O-B and we want people to come
and join your team because they see the value in having a career,
alongside you.”


-Shelli Warren


Finding the right people to build your dream team can be
exhausting. It is often so overwhelming a process that we let
desperation take hold. Seeking to grab anyone we can to help us,
rather than taking the time to really find people who are the
best fit.


It is the goal of every business owner to eventually get out of
the day-to-day, to better focus on business development, but we
can’t do that without a trusted team, and without belief in
ourselves as the leaders of our own businesses.


But if you are constantly dragging people behind you, they aren’t
adding positive value to your business. You need from the moment
you post the interview, all the way through to the way your
business practices, to paint a picture of the future, that the
right people can connect to and feel at home in. Walking in step
with you towards your goals, not holding you back from them.


Shelli Warren, a team and leadership coach with Biz Chix and host
of the Stacking Your Team podcast, is this week's featured guest.


She discusses the importance of effective leadership, learning
from your clients and building a business pointed firmly at the
future, not dragging the past behind you.


During this interview, you'll learn...



How to paint a story of your business that makes others
want to be a part of it


The importance of building your team around the future,
not the past


The value of learning every lesson life has to teach
you
