My clients do NOT yearn to have a massive team, but they DO want to hire some support so they can focus on their zone of genius -- the work that they love and is most highly valued by clients.

In fact, you can build a highly profitable consulting busines with a LEAN DREAM TEAM!

This often includes a combination of help at home and in the business including at least one team member who shares the client workload (so you can go on vacation or navigate life's curveballs).

The challenge in leading a small business, is that EVERY team member needs to be high performing. Listen for all the details.

Remember your team includes anyone you pay to support you — either in your business, or in your personal life.

In this episode, we define a Lean team and share how to rate your team members to determine if you have a Dream team as well as some ideas of what to do if your team is not working.
