Ah, make believe. It was one of the chief highlights of childhood, right?
Believe anything…and poof! It was there.
- The horse we always wanted? Poof!
- Eating apples from a tree in the garden.
- The mermaid’s tail in the swimming pool? Poof! Tail, and red hair to boot.
- The Princess dress that swished and swooshed at our feet? Poof! Swishing and swooshing for days.
I watch it daily with my three-year-old daughter. SUCH an imagination!
As adults we still have those moments of childlike belief. We believe we can imagine anything into being. And I’d NEVER want to crush that – those moments are precious, and I wouldn’t dream of taking them away.
Except, my Freedom-lovers…unicorns. I cannot, in good conscience, allow that fairy tale to stay alive in your minds.
Here’s why…
Sometimes we take our weird and wonderful imaginings into our working space. We decide we want to hire someone to assist us in our business, and instead of taking the thoughtful steps to find the perfect person, we hunt for a unicorn: someone who can magically pick up 200 of the 400 things you do.
And how does that fairy tale end, honey? In failed expectations.
You need to know who to hire first. Who is the perfect fit?
And that may be a whole team of people… not just one. You need the right people to pick up the things you don’t enjoy (or aren’t good at), and give you the space to be in your Passion Zone.
The goal is to start building your team over time… to become a Visionary CEO who has an amazing team that supports you in doing powerful, impactful, and meaningful work.
This week’s Insights video is all about figuring out who to hire first, to get your business performing like a beautiful galloping steed (note: not unicorn), munching hundreds of carrots, and living its best life.
When you’re crystal clear about WHAT you need your first hire to do for you, then you’ll have a MUCH stronger chance of actually getting the help you TRULY need.

Warmly,
Erin
