Are you a solopreneur struggling to do it all and ready to start developing your team?

Or do you already have a team but feel like you can’t get anything done because you are overwhelmed with their onslaught of questions?

Every small business needs support!  IF you truly want to scale your revenue and have the time flexibility, then you need to design and build a support team that aligns with your goals!

Today I am sharing with you how to develop your company organizational chart so you can grow your business without working more! Plus I am going to share with you a BIG MISTAKE many businesses make that you definitely never want to have to deal with!

If you have been holding back from hiring a support team because you have heard all the horror stories of managing employees or you worry what if you cannot bring in the revenue to support their paychecks or you have tried to build a team in the past but it failed big time, you are watching the right video to eliminate all those thoughts!

Inside this video I am going to share with you my story of how I scaled my franchise business to 150 employees while working only 16 hours a week!

If that sounds good, then let’s get started!

There are 4 pillars to building a successful business that allows the time and money freedom you desired when you started this journey!  The problem is many entrepreneurs miss these because they just jump in and start working without thinking through what it will actually take to build a 6+ Figure business!

Pillar 1 - Structure

No matter where you are in business right now, you need to stop for just a hot minute and complete this step!

Your business model structure is the foundation to making everything you want to happen!

Just think about this example, if there was no architect to lay out the plans for building a house, would the house be stable, strong, and able to sustain many years? No, right?

It's the same thing in business, you need to lay out your foundation by mapping out what you want your business to look and feel like!  What product or service will you provide, what will you be known for, what are your mission, vision and values, when will you work, when will you never work. All these questions need to be answered. You will then have the plans for long term sustainable success!

Pillar 2 - Systems

I say this all the time because I know it was so true for me and I hear it from the women I work with… “Sailynn, developing systems is just not sexy and fun!” Which I totally agree with but my reply has always been, “I know but you know what is? Freedom! And in order to get freedom, we must develop the systems for our life and businesses.”

If you truly want to scale, which I am guessing that more time and money was probably one of the reasons you started your business, then you are going to need to build that support team, which we are getting to!

So if you don’t want your team running around like chickens with their heads cut off just working reactively to everything that comes their way, or doing things their way which may be out of alignment with your mission, vision and values or them relying on you all day everyday for the answer to their all their questions…You Need Systems to Guide Them!

Pillar 3 - Support

I see so many women working day in and day out of their businesses with absolutely no support and being okay with that!

Thoughts of… I can’t afford it or What if I hire the wrong person or What if I can’t pay them all swirling around in their head causing them to be held back from truly growing!

Here is the hard truth… By NOT having help, you are actually hurting your growth!

Having a support team allows you to work in your zone of genius, think big and develop growth plans, and find some breathing room so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Pillar 4 - Streamline

Tech, Tools & Automations will set you free from the daily mundane in life and business!  When you embrace these opportunities, you can turn your daily busy work into a well oiled money making machine that works 24/7 without you!

Imagine being on vacation without your laptop and signing new clients or selling your products!  How would that feel?  I am guessing pretty darn good!

Now that we have laid out the 4 pillars and you can see where Support fits in, let’s lay out your organizational chart so you can get started with some immediate help plus plan for future expansion, without fear, worry and more overwhelm!

 If you are starting to see the big picture of how having a support team in your business could be the missing pillar for you, comment “I’m In” below!

When I had my franchise business, our franchisor, the corporate office, advised us to use a certain organizational chart which was super helpful when starting out!

But the problem was, this model had one level that was doomed to set you up for failure and today I am going to share with you why this was!

Basically there are 2 ways to develop your organizational chart!

You can have option one or you can have option two

There is no right or wrong but I want you to be aware of the pros and cons of each one!

There is a very well known business performance coach in the online space who says option two is the way to go, but in my opinion it's a BIG mistake!

A mistake you won’t really realize until it's too late!

That is why I utilized option one in my franchise and as I build my online business, will also use it in my coaching business!  It's smooth and free from a very scary moment in business!

Option one has you as the leader, then it goes into multiple positions under you.

In this example I call them directors, those directors manage the departments in your business. And under each Director there are more team members that they manage in the daily business operations!

At first look, this model may look huge for a small business but I want you to remember not everyone has to be full time, and not everyone has to be part time!  They could be per diem, or have varying hours.  The world as we used to know it when it comes to hiring has changed from those old school full time jobs with benefits are now gone!

The new school way is here and has so many options available to you!

Option two has you as the leader, then it goes into one position under you.

In this example, I call this a general manager. This position then manages all the departments of your business and is solely responsible for running the entire daily business operations.

Which may sound pretty good right?  You as the owner and leader only have to manage one person, which sounds much easier then managing multiple, right?

While that seems easier, I want you to imagine with me for a minute!  Let's imagine it's two years from now, you are working part time in your business, you are working in your zone of genius daily, you are loving the time freedom that this has brought you!  It's just like that dream business you had dreamt of….

Until you are getting ready to head out on a family vacation, or you are celebrating the holidays with your family, or you are getting ready to release a new product or service and…

WHAM!  Your general manager gives their 2 weeks notice out of nowhere (and this always seems to happen at the worst possible time!)

You are instantly thrown back into the daily business operations, trying to figure out what they are working on, what the team is working on, all while developing your job description, job posting, and hiring budget!

Fast forward 6 to 12 months later, you finally hire someone and now have to spend another 6 months training them to the level of your previous GM.  All the while, you have been overworked and overwhelmed all over again!

And let's face it, the business has taken a hit during this time too!

That sounds super, super scary right?

And that is the exact reason, I subscribe to option one!

Because when one of those directors leaves, you most likely or should not be thrown into the daily business operations. Why?

Because your other directors are a team and they are going to cover and pick up the slack until you hire someone new!

So the only added thing on your list is the hiring process, not all the work that person was doing too!

And when you have to only focus on one task, which is hiring someone new, you are laser focused and can speed up the process and rebuild your team quicker, better, faster than you would have been able to in option number two!

 In summary,

Again there is no wrong or right way to develop your company organizational chart but there are many pros and cons that you need to evaluate before you start building your team!  And if you already have a team that is not supporting your dream lifestyle, it's time to reimagine what you want it to look like, then restructure to best meet your needs!
