Episode 47 Show Notes
On today’s episode, I’m interviewing Kelly Roach. She is the host of the top rated podcast “Unstoppable Success Radio”, and CEO of Kelly Roach Coaching. She is a former NFL cheerleader and now helps creates lives for entrepreneurs that they absolutely love. Her passion is to help people achieve exponential growth in their business. In today’s episode we talk all about building a team so you can work less. We talk systems, processes, and all the things you NEED as an entrepreneur. Enjoy!
Takeaways:
- She says her plan was the corporate ladder. She was promoted 7 times in 8 years, managed a team of 100 people, but she started to reflect on what her life would look like if she stayed on that path. Sometimes this reflection, if we’re stuck in a rut in our jobs, is so important. Everyone is entitled to live a life of fulfillment.
- First step is building the team, second step is being able to scale your business. A lot of people think these steps are reversed. But like Kelly tells us, you can’t be too reliant on outside people. You need to get people who want to be on your team, and go all in on helping you with your mission.
- Kelly helps us understand you want to get a plan to get clients, and reinvest that revenue in getting help.
- Catalyst for growth: How much can you do without working more hours?
- Referrals and Universities. These are the two main places Kelly says to look for people to hire.
- Training Process 3 Step Process:
- Step 1: It is so key to be clear on the objectives and roles for the job and end goal.
- Step 2: Design where they spend their time, so you set them up for success to get the job done the way you want it.
- Step 3: Make sure you have a 90 day plan for them, starting with a 30 day plan, lining up what it is you’ll be training them on, so they understand the brand, the why, and the goals.
- Kelly shares how being very vocal about what it is you expect from your employees, and collaborate with them on what you expect.
- She shares her tips on being a leader: You want the people who work for you to feel inspired, and grow. You need to be willing to have tough conversations. Coaching performance conversations is one of those ways Kelly shares.
- Look In The Mirror Leadership: Kelly talks about the power of reflection. If you don’t like something in your business, it’s so important to look inward and fill that gap. We tend to point blame, but have to ask yourself the question, “what can I do better?”
- If you are just getting started on building your business, that is the best possible time to start thinking about a team. It’s a lot easier to do it right on the first time rather than having to go back in your business.
