171: Successes and Struggles of Leading a Team

171: Successes and Struggles of Leading a Team

Well, we're 170+ episodes and almost 4 years into this podcast journey, and this is the first time I've explicitly tackled this topic on the pod: growing and building a team as a small business owner. In the past 7 years of operating my marketing business at Molly Knuth Media, I've had a variety of team structures. I was originally a solo freelancer, then I had one person who helped on a mix of tasks as I needed them. Eventually I had a team of 7 people working various hours and skills in their own wheelhouses, and now I'm back to having a very lean team structure. What I've learned along the way is that there is no blueprint for growing a team. Damn it. It would be so much easier if there was. In today's episode, we're going to discuss the successes I've experienced in bringing others on board at my business Molly Knuth Media, the struggles I experienced in leading said team, and how you can know if you are ready to build a team in your own business. My Successes
