Should You Hire or Advertise? Here’s Why You Still Feel “Busy But Broke”
You’re booked, but somehow... not banking. 😅
If you’ve ever wondered whether your next move should be hiring more staff or fixing your marketing (or maybe just screaming into the void), this episode is your wake-up call.
Marcus and McKenzie are breaking down that awkward, murky middle zone where your calendar is full, your bank account is not, and you’re trying to figure out if the real problem is lead volume… or that underperforming team member you’re too emotionally attached to fire. 👀
📉 In this episode, we dive into:
• The red flags of false growth (spoiler: busy ≠ profitable)
• How to know if it’s a marketing issue or a staffing one
• Why swapping agencies might be your favorite form of procrastination
• What to do when one rockstar employee is fully booked but everyone else is twiddling their thumbs
• How to use conversion data to spot the real bottleneck
• When to fix your offer, coach your team—or both
Whether you’re at max capacity or just stuck in the middle, this episode will help you stop guessing, start scaling, and finally figure out which lever to pull first. Don’t just hire blindly. Don’t toss more ad dollars into the void. Let’s fix the right problem.
