In this episode of "Process to Profitability," I had the pleasure of speaking with the incredible Liz Strong. Liz shared her journey from being a website designer to becoming an Online Business Manager (OBM). We delved into the importance of figuring out what you truly want to do in your business and how it can help you delegate tasks and prioritize your responsibilities. Liz emphasized the significance of documenting processes and avoiding the pitfalls of linking accounts when setting up new accounts or logging in via third-party platforms like Gmail or Facebook. We also discussed the benefits of hiring a team and the importance of providing an exceptional client experience. If you're looking to prepare your business for future hiring and maximize your return on investment in team members, this episode is for you.
