The Mistake Stylists Make When They Start Hiring
Manage episode 514001377 series 3565276
Many stylists mistakenly believe that scaling a team means scaling their business. As a result, they find themselves overworked, underpaid, and feeling stuck in the same business challenges they had at $50k. Instead, you need to take the reins as a creative CEO, a leader who remains the primary decision-maker while strategically building support around you.
In part two of our Multi Six-Figure Stylist Series on The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’m breaking down why outsourcing execution is not the same as outsourcing responsibility. I’ll discuss how failing to define your own standards, vision, and success metrics can create more chaos and how to course-correct by reclaiming your role as the ultimate driver of your business.
1:46 – Why hiring help too early (or ineffectively) after hitting six figures can harm more than help you
3:29 – How six-figure stylists can fall into the trap of outsourcing responsibility
5:45 – Why simply hiring help won’t move your business forward
8:52 – Why the expensive trap in hiring people isn’t the money spent acquiring them
12:23 – What you’re really doing when you hire support for your styling business
13:54 – The dividing line between running a successful business and it running you
15:48 – You are the decider in your business, no matter how much you make
