Hello and welcome to Episode 8 of the Becoming Financially Fit podcast. The podcast to help business owners overcome their financial fears.

Today I am following on from episode 7 where I talked about the things I look for when recruiting new team members. So now that you have found your newest kick arse team member, now what?

How do you onboard them? How do you start off on the right foot, and continue that so both the employee and yourself get the best possible working relationship right from the start?

It ain’t easy, and you need to invest time. And to channel by inner songstress…. A whole lotta precious time. It’s going take patience and time. To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it riiiiiight.

So whilst my singing skills are pretty much down the toilet, the routine I have when new team members start, is at the complete opposite end of the scale. Easy, enjoyable, under control and streamlined.

So before your latest team member joins you, we suggest you listen up and get your ducks in a row.

Hello and welcome to Episode 7 of the Becoming Financially Fit podcast. The podcast to help business owners overcome their financial fears.

Today I am sharing my own personal hints and tips on how to hire a virtual team member and not totally cock it up. Let’s face it resumes can be really really deceiving. But getting potential team members to sit exams or aptitude tests are also often misleading. Not to mention stressful.

So how do you choose? How do you get it right? Where do you even start?

Here’s the thing - there is no one solution that will absolutely work for everyone. Period. But there are still things you can all do, to help you get the best candidate for the role you are offering, and tip the balance of the “hit and miss” scales in your favour.

If your business needs amazing remote staff, that are there for the long haul, this episode is going to be right up your alley.

Today we are talking to Emma McMillan from Emma McMillan Copy. Emma is such a creative spirit and moved from a career in teaching to a career in copywriting and marketing. With a curiosity to learn and understand, launching into business life was a natural progression.

Heavily investing in her business this year has seen Emma move from a scarcity mindset to truly understanding her value and her gift and this has seen her client list be filled with clients sharing her same values.

Whilst it is not always easy having money conversations, what is vitally important to Emma is looking after not only her personal health, but the full health of her business, and the results are a clear winner.
