Create an Employee Waitlist: How To Recruit & Retain Top Quality Team Members
This conversation gave us so many revelations about what it is to be an employer!
Rachel Harris, founder of the striveX umbrella of brands and Accountant_She, has recruiting, hiring, and retention down to a science. As a disrupter in the accounting industry, she not only has created a business that is growing by $100K recurring revenue every month, but is also cultivating a thriving company culture that has people clamoring to sign up for a waitlist to get hired by her while others in her industry are facing a recruitment crisis in the UK and paying thousands in recruitment fees.
In today’s case study, you’ll hear the content strategy Rachel’s used to attract 149 candidates to join her jobs waitlist, the top to bottom hiring process that has allowed her to give out offer letters to future employees 6 months in advance, and the generous benefits package her employees rave about.
Rachel gives us the roadmap for how to attract more superstars to join your team, hire before you’re desperate for help, and build a company culture that boasts a 100% retention rate for employees hired from the waitlist.

Replace Work-Life “Balance” With Work-Life “Harmony” To 6X Your Revenue
I’ve always felt “work-life balance” is an unrealistic expectation to strive for because different seasons require different priorities, so I usually opt for the goal of ‘work life harmony’ instead. Today’s guest shares the same sentiment.
Tina Wells, founder of RLVNT Media and WNDR LN, launched a successful market research company at age 16, has published more than 15 books over the course of the last 2 decades, and has been recognized in Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business + Essence’s 40 Under 40. Her acclaimed Elevation Approach, a framework for finding work-life harmony Tina developed while confronting her own burnout, expanded with a book and corresponding product line, available at Target stores nation-wide.
In today’s case study, Tina takes us through how she’s applied the four phases of her Elevation Approach to 6X her revenue in 2 years while cutting her daily work hours in half, and how you can apply it to your life seasonally, monthly, weekly, and DAILY.

How, Why, & When To Niche Down To Bring In The Big Bucks
“You need to niche down” is advice we’ve all heard a thousand times, but rarely are there answers to the how, when, and why?
Here to disclose the secrets of choosing a successful niche that brings in the big bucks is Eman Ismail - a copywriter who went from writing anything for anyone, to an email conversion strategist for 6, 7 & 8 figure online business owners. Eman firmly believes that niching is the fastest way to grow your business, and her case study today details her own step-by-step niche transformation that took her from making £15 an hour and averaging $40K a year to consistently booking $6,000 client projects and scaling her copywriting business to six figures.
In this episode she shares the 4 principles of a successful niche, how to control your narrative (so people can accurately explain what you do when you’re not in the room), and what to do if you feel like your current audience isn’t your niche target.

I have been listening to the podcast for years, and I am truly grateful for the transparency and fun that Ellen brings to her podcast. I trust her and I am now working with Kaitlyn Carlson and her team at Theory Planning partners, thanks to the awesome Cubicle to CEO.
