Description

Are you wearing too many hats in your business?
Whether you're still doing it all yourself or you're juggling a small team, chances are your resourcing model is holding back your growth. In this solo episode of Olive Insights, Sarah Petty unpacks one of the biggest levers for scaling your business: resourcing and how to do it strategically.

Sarah breaks down the three stages of resourcing that most founders move through:

1. Upskilling the founder – building your own capability
2. Hiring for doing – getting tasks off your plate
3. Hiring for thinking – bringing in senior support to drive growth

She shares real examples from her journey at Olive Business Partners, including how she decided when and who to hire, what made the biggest difference, and the mindset shifts that helped her stop being the bottleneck.

You’ll learn:

• How to tell which resourcing stage you’re in (and what’s next)
• Why hiring for thinking is often the game-changer
• How to match your resourcing to your revenue model
• The biggest mistake founders make when building a team
• What to forecast before your next hire

If you’ve ever wondered “what’s the right next hire?” or “how can I scale without burning out?” then this episode is for you.
