EP281: Jamie Van Cuyk - How To Build A Great Team To Support Your Bookkeeping Business

“Does it need to be done right or does it need to be done
by you?”


-Jamie Van Cuyk


Imagine what you might be able to accomplish if you surrounded
yourself with the right people.


Learning to let go of our desire to do everything ourselves, can
unlock an organization’s true potential. So many businesses
struggle to find the right employees because their focus has
become too narrow. Shaking the bonds of our set ways can be
tough, but if we don’t, we’ll always be doing more than we need
to.


Jamie Van Cuyk, a small business consultant who owns Growing Your
Team, talks about overcoming the challenges of hiring the right
help, at the right time. Her approach enables businesses to let
go of the idea that only they can maintain their processes
effectively. Helping them instead to find the right people, which
saves time, services more customers and increases profitability.


During this interview, you'll learn...



How to build processes you can trust while being open
to innovation


The importance of good training & trusting your
employees to get it done


How to let go, so your business can grow!
