In this episode of the Master Delegator podcast, Kristy Yoder interviews Latesha Lynch, an entrepreneur and marketing strategist, who shares her transformative journey of self-growth and managing her business during challenging times. Lastesha’s story exemplifies the importance of leadership development, proper delegation, and balancing personal well-being with business success.

Throughout the episode, Latesha recounts her early days of business expansion, the pitfalls of her initial hiring attempts, and the impactful lessons she learned about effective leadership. She shares candidly about hiring an Operations and Marketing Manager (OBM) who eventually fired her, along with facing issues with an underperforming social media manager. These experiences highlighted her need for stronger leadership skills, which led her to a transformative leadership retreat.

The conversation delves into the significance of treating a business like a full-time job, the importance of re-evaluating pricing strategies, and the ongoing struggle to balance work and personal life.
