How do business owners find the staffing sweet spot where they are getting the most out of their team without burning them out? Academy Coach Jordan Cruttenden joins Greg on the podcast this week to share his wisdom on that very topic. Jordan has years of experience as a trade business owner and a wealth of knowledge to share.


Don't miss this valuable episode where Jordan shares his story of building a team of 13 in his trade business, only to have to wipe the slate clean and start fresh in order to create a business culture that truly aligns with his values.


Key takeaways in the episode are:

  • The importance of implementing solid systems in your business to overcome challenges and achieve growth
  • The value of making tough decisions, such as letting go of staff or clients, to move forward
