Let's dive into an essential topic for all business owners: time tracking! You know, time tracking might sound like a mundane task, but really, it's like looking into a mirror. It gives you a clear reflection of what you're actually doing versus what you think you're doing. If you're a solopreneur, you should definitely start implementing this right away in your business.

Not only that, but if your whole team is time-tracking by task, it can help you with pricing and hiring decisions, ensuring you deliver great service to your clients effectively.

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.
