In today’s episode of Vision to Grow, I’m diving into one of the biggest traps service-based business owners fall into: trying to hire that one “unicorn” team member who can do it all.
Here’s the truth - unicorn hires don’t scale your business. They keep you stuck in founder babysitting mode, blur your authority, and stop your growth before it even starts.
If you’re relying on one magical person (or a patchwork of subcontractors) to run your core operations, it’s time to shift. In this episode, I walk you through how to step into real ownership of your business, by building smart systems, hiring intentionally, and letting go of the fantasy that one perfect hire will fix everything.
Inside this episode:
✨ Why hiring unicorns is keeping you small (and stressed)
✨ How to transition from reactive hiring to intentional team-building
✨ What it really takes to create scalable, sustainable systems
✨ The legal hiring practices you need to know (especially in Australia)
✨ Why documenting your processes is the most powerful thing you can do
✨ The mindset shift from founder hustle to strategic leadership
If you’re ready to stop micromanaging, ditch the chaos, and actually grow your business with confidence - this episode is your first step.
Let’s build something that doesn’t rely on luck. Let’s build something that lasts.
