BUT finally, I reached a breaking point, took a leap, and outsourced one job\\u2026 then two.. Then hired a full-time member\\u2026 and another\\u2026 It\\u2019s been a whirlwind, but the BEST decision I\\u2019ve ever made, and today we are covering all the behind the scenes magic of how you can hire your own dream team! Let\\u2019s get started!\\nTUNE IN TO HEAR THE JUICY ANSWERS TO ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS!\\n(Is your name mentioned on air?!)\\nOkay, first things first\\u2026 so many of you asked! So here is a quick RUN DOWN OF TEAM JK What does your current team like? What are their roles? Are they full-time part time? Is YOUR team in person or all online? Caitlyn, Kate, Danielle, Kerry, Steph, Ashlyn, Rebecca, Alex (?)\\nMorgan K: Jenna! I need help with the struggle of taking my personal brand to hiring. I own a fitness studio, named as me and had so much growth this year. I wonder how to prepare clients I engage with face to face each day that someone else will soon be in front of them too!\\nMarie W: What I\\u2019m currently needing help with is HOW do you go about hiring your first employee? Where do you look? What do you look for? I really need someone to help manage my day to day tasks but I\\u2019m terrified of hiring someone who isn\\u2019t a good fit\\nMeagan J: How do you divide responsibilities during a project? And about communication, I know you communicate via slack, but being that your team members are mostly contractors and set their own schedules, are your communications ever lost in translation when someone isn\'t logged in?\\nAnother from Megan J (above): How do you set expectations when taking on a new team member?\\nMegan J (again! Love it!): Do you find it difficult to work remotely with your team at times?\\nAlyssa C: How do you budget for hourly workers? Are they paid a "set" number of hours per week?

I just want to learn how I can juggle different projects in the most efficient way. Thanks for all your amazing content:\\nCorinna-marie (Instagram) Hi Jenna!!
