Episode 20

Getting Out Of Your Own Way w/ Jess Glazer, Founder of The Digital Business Revolution

I’m joined by business coach and entrepreneur Jess Glazer to talk about her transition from a burnt out solopreneur to a visionary business leader. We discuss why setting up systems before you hire is so critical, how to truly delegate as a leader, and what it looks like when your ego is in the way of your own success and ability to scale. Jess breaks down her experience with bartering and shares what she would do differently when it comes to her first hires. We also chat about how to keep tabs on your employees without micromanaging them and what she does to cultivate a strong team culture.  

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

  • Key indicators that you need to hire an employee 
  • Why you should have a contract in place with everyone you work with, even if there isn’t money being exchanged 
  • The top reasons why so many entrepreneurs are slow to hire 
  • Simple tools to help you articulate your systems
  • Why passing off your to-do list to an assistant isn’t always the most effective solution for getting stuff done

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
