E37 The Ultimate Guide to Hiring a New Team ✍️🧑‍�‪�‬ Pollen: For Creative Entrepreneurs with Diana Davis

As productive as it may sound, it's impossible to do everything by yourself when you're growing a business — and you really shouldn't. While it is ideal to be hands-on with all parts of the business, it can take a toll on your growth as an entrepreneur. This is where hiring a new team and learning how to delegate tasks come in. 
But finding the right people is no easy task. It can take weeks, if not months, to find the perfect fit. But once you do, the rewards you’ll reap will be well worth it.
In this episode of The Pollen Podcast, Diana delves into all the things you need to know about hiring a new team. Firstly, how do you even know when you need a team? As an entrepreneur, you only have so much time in a day. You’ll spend that time best by honing in on your zone of genius and leveraging a team to support you every step of the way. That’s how you grow your business; that’s how you grow into a great leader. 🌱

[01:44] Who is Your Team?
Your team is people working directly with you, whether on a daily or weekly basis. They know your mission and core values and take tasks off your hands. Your team may include a virtual assistant, online business manager, web designer, copywriter, photographer, accountant, etc. After having your foundation set, things get sticky when it comes to having the confidence and mindset to expand that business. This is where hiring a new team comes in. [04:22] ASCEND Mastermind

First and foremost, get clear on what you want in a team. [08:20] Diana Davis: “I talk about scheduling your dream life, I talk about your cosmic shopping list, I tell you about your dream clients and how you need to know who they are before you go searching for them. That's the same with a team.” 
Write down a list of things you would like your team member to be. Leave room for the possibility that they'll learn some skills on their own along the way. Getting clear on what you want is a manifestation situation in itself. [11:17] What to Do When Hiring a New Team Member
