Hiring a team that supports your business vision is a gift.
Some of us turn to Google for ideas on creating a strong team. We tend to copy what other gurus do instead of using our intuition.
Today, our guest Jenna Irvin shares her story on how she used intuition to create a team from scratch and how we can do it too.
She also shares her story of starting, building, growing, and then selling her first business by the age of 23 is such a testament to what is possible when we trust ourselves...no matter where we are in life.
I can't wait for you to get to know this powerhouse woman...and everything she's up to in the world.

Have you ever hired a team or even one person to help you in your business?
No?
Maybe...you’ve been doing everything yourself in your business for some time now. Longer than you really should have.
But it’s not because you haven’t tried to find people to help you.
You’ve been on upwork.com, elance.com, and hiremymom.com, but you haven’t felt very “lucky” in your search for the right person or people yet.
First thing is this - hiring is not an easy process.
Second thing - you are not alone in struggling through that process.
Third thing - it IS something you have to do at some point if you want to grow beyond a “job-replacement” business. (believe me - I know this from personal experience!)
Every business owner gets to the point of hiring in different ways. Some people start finding help from the second they start their business. Some people start with interns. Others do everything as long as they possibly can...
That's what we're talking about on today's episode.

This episode will give you some getting started advice you need to make sure you hire the right person for your Launch Manager.
As you know I’ve been managing launches for several years online and offline. Not only have I been involved with projects ranging from feature films, tv and video games but I’ve spent the past 6 years working as launch manager of some major online product launches.
People often tell you to hire a project manager - that will help.
But I get it when people meltdown, are unsure not only of -
In today’s podcast, I’ll talk to you about -

Today, we’re continuing this conversation about working with people and why I believe if you have a clear way to communicate, collaborate, and invest in these people is so important.
There’s a better chance you’ll have a smooth running team during your launch and keep them long after!
And man, it takes forever to find those people, sometimes longer than we expect, right? So, let’s keep people once we find them!
In this episode I talk about:
Making that first investment in your business and hiring someone to help you
How to hire people and why it’s critical to get on board the hiring someone
Why even when you’re not creating something for sale, you still need help
What to do when you’re onboarding new hires
3 ways to stay on track with your team
Tools to help your team collaborate and communicate better together
Plus you’ll find out why you can start all of these practices even if you don’t have a team yet...because really the habit, the system, the ritual only becomes easier to share with new people if you’ve got it together.
If you’ve been hanging around Periscope and on any of my latest scopes, then some of what I share may sound very familiar to you--since that’s what I’ve been talking about for the past week as I prep for a an all-new class I’m teaching on Training Your Launch Team.
How do you grow your business?
We hear about strategies to market your business better, building funnels that convert people into customers…
We know that we have to build our list, build the relationship with the people who sign up for our various free resources.
But what about team culture? Is it possible that the culture we create just by who we hire and how we work...can that lead to business growth too?
Ask companies like Zappos, AirBNB, and WeWork...and they’d likely answer a resounding yes.
Our guest on the podcast today is Josh Anderson who’s got experience with big development and sales teams at Microsoft and smaller, scrappier startups in the Seattle area.
