Small business owners often say to us at Magical Teams: "I don't know what I don't know." Our founder, Christina Salerno, love to teach others about #mentalmodels, which is essentially a conceptual representation. The more of these you have, then the more creativity and high quality decisions you can make. Think back to a game you played for the first time. You didn't know the rules or have any strategies to reference yet. Now think about a game you're really great at playing. Likely you have little "tricks" that increase your chances to win. Those are based around various mental models you've picked up from playing. Growing a business and streamlining the operations requires a huge range of mental models that most founders have to learn on the fly. When someone is not experienced, then they have to use someone else's model (such as: taking a training program or using a business framework) or they can troubleshoot their way with trial and error. This an important learning process in becoming an expert. However, not every business owner wants or needs to become an #operations expert. As a business matures, a founder's time needs to evolve into being spent on the things only they can do. If you're trying to hold on tightly to things you're not an expert in, consider why. You might think it's a lack of resources, but that's just a matter of prioritization. More likely there's some fear, doubt, or control in the way of letting go. It's ok not to know. It's ok to admit and see help if you don't know. It's vital that you identify what truly matters for moving the needle and get support if that's not an area of your own expertise. Your business depends on it! What's something you really ought to let an #expert take off your plate for you?

Our founder, Christina Salerno, often says I wish more ops professionals talked about how important it is to know what level of #operations strategy and infrastructure is needed based on the #growth lifecycle of a company. Think of operations as the blueprint, gears, wheels, mechanics, and hiring/training for the team that makes the "business" run. You will always have some level of operations, even if you're not consciously doing so. Early stage, when a company is still finding itself, its product/market fit, and a work in progress there will be a LOT of change. Over time, more clarity and direction will naturally develop for a company. Alongside of this, it's important to be developing the operational strategy and infrastructure as well. Too much operations, or not the right strategic approach of operations, and it will suffocate the necessary pivots that have to be made. Too little operations and you will need to throw people and effort at situations in order to keep everything going. Building out your team and infrastructure aligned with the company you are building AND the lifecycle stage it is at any given point is important to ensure it's sustainable and long-lasting. Otherwise you'll face burnout, team overwhelm, inefficiency, and simply will not be able grow further without it. It will feel like spinning your wheels and you can't figure out how to gain traction. Thinking about your company - do you feel your operations level is: A - Too little B - Too rigid C - Sweet spot for where you are

Nothing is more magical than a client discovering their own magical team! We've been rereading this beautiful message from Girls Club Collective. "Magical Teams seriously put the magic in the process of expanding my team! They did a FANTASTIC job of managing the entire hiring process, from job description posting to communicating with candidates and counseling me on my hiring decision. I am *so* excited about my new team member and never would have found her without their help! Not to mention the fact that it would not have been possible for me to execute a hiring campaign at this level on my own with everything on my plate. If you're looking to grow your team, I cannot recommend partnering with Magical Teams highly enough!" #hiring #coaching #team #operations #operationalexcellence #hiringchallenges #founders #entrepreneur #womenentrepreneurs
