Publisher's summary

Build a record-breaking, world-class team that maximizes your profitability and increases your freedom as an entrepreneur. I’ve led teams that drove 100s of millions of dollars in sales while working in my corporate career. Only to find that the world of entrepreneurship didn’t view building teams the same way the corporate world did. However, I knew that without a team in place, you can’t truly scale your company.

You can make sales, you can market, you can serve, but without a team, you will be severely limited in the way your company is able to grow. So, after building my coaching company to over 8 figures in annual revenue, I set out to write a book that demystified the process of building a team that is profitable, a team that makes the dream possible. Which is how Bigger Than You was born. Building a team doesn’t have to be such a massive struggle. In fact, when you understand key leadership principles and how to set your team up for success, you will be amazed at how quickly your team drives growth.

In Bigger Than You: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Building an Unstoppable Team you will learn: Why your resistance to building a team is keeping you stuck. How to make strategic hires.

The difference between a team of contractors and a team of employees.

The damaging cycle of hiring-firing-burn out cycle most entrepreneurs find themselves in. Understanding red flags in the hiring process.

Why you are still broke after hiring a team. How to increase your profit margins while building out your team.

Removing yourself as the bottleneck in your company.

If you are an entrepreneur who wants REAL freedom WHILE scaling a business to 10’s of millions of dollars, the quality of your team and their effectiveness will determine the quality of your life, your company’s growth rate, and your ultimate freedom...

Bigger Than You is THE book for entrepreneurs who want to step into the role of leadership to build a truly profitable dream team.
