In this episode of the Streamline and Shine podcast, Steff Bolton discusses the critical moment when business owners need to consider upgrading their teams. She emphasises that many entrepreneurs start solo and often find themselves overwhelmed, leading to bottlenecks in their operations. Instead of simply hiring more help, Steff advocates for hiring strategic support that can take ownership of tasks and improve overall efficiency. She provides insights on assessing whether it's time to upgrade your team and offers practical questions to help identify bottlenecks in business operations.
