A Cure for Employee PTSD?

Ever felt unable to take your business to the next level due to the fear of hiring the wrong employees? Looking for a “Cure” for this Employee PTSD? 

Christeen Era of Core Growth Strategies was operating a profitable business when she met the Tap the Potential Team; however, she wasn't able to focus on the aspects of her business that she was most passionate about because she was sucked into to many daily operational tasks.  Her business simply could not run without her daily involvement. After working with us (the Tap the Potential Team) in our coaching program and engaging her team in the Leadership Bootcamp,  then attending Breakthroughs on the Bayou RetreatChristeen has overcome her employee PTSD and grown a phenomenal team! .

What did we support Christeen in doing? Identifying the business sweet spot (i.e., Pumpkin Planning), implementing Profit First,  working on systems,  hiring effectively using the Hire the Best™ Method, and developing culture, while playing to her own strengths and passions, and engaging her team members around their strengths — these are all the elements of the Tap the Potential Solution™ to creating a highly profitable, great place to work.  

Tap the Potential coached her on making better hiring decisions and on creating new systems that helped her to truly scale her business, increasing her revenue by 300%!

Once Christeen was able to further examine efficiencies and better define her own role, she could delegate work to appropriate team members with different strengths and interests. Utilizing Tap the Potential's Leadership Bootcamp helped to further develop her employee coaching program for A-Players and empower the entire team as they began to grow the company together.

We were lucky enough to capture her video testimonial at our 2019 Breakthroughs on the Bayou Retreat. Christeen is as real as they get! Click here or on the image below to hear it directly from her.

About The Author

Dr. Sabrina Starling, The Business Psychologist and international best-selling author of the How to Hire the Best series and The 4 Week Vacation™, is the founder of Tap the Potential and host of the Profit by Design podcast. At Tap the Potential, we work to free business owners from the constant demands of a growing business.

We believe work supports life, not the other way around. Clients in our Better Business, Better Life coaching program have more time for what matters most and more money in their bank account than they’ve ever had. Next, we send them off on a 4 Week Vacation™ to celebrate their hard-earned journey to take their life back!

Dr. Sabrina and her team at Tap the Potential are on a mission to change the story of entrepreneurship from one of long hours, grinding it out, to one of sustainably profitable businesses that support and enhance life. The Tap the Potential Solution™ and our Tap the Potential Family of Business Owners are disrupting small business as usual. We are on our way to making the Tap the Potential Solution™ the mainstream model for growing business.

By 2023, 150 Tap the Potential clients will have taken 4 Week Vacations. These are the trailblazers, role modeling what’s possible for entrepreneurs. In many entrepreneurial circles, it is becoming more and more common for one entrepreneur to ask another, “Have you taken a 4 Week Vacation™?” (as opposed to asking “How many employees do you have?” or “What is your annual revenue?”). Taking a fully unplugged 4 Week Vacation is rapidly becoming the recognized symbol of entrepreneurial success.
