Scott Ritzheimer:

Hello, hello, and welcome, welcome once again

Scott Ritzheimer:

to the Start Scale and Succeed podcast-the only podcast that

Scott Ritzheimer:

grows with you through all seven levels of your journey as a

Scott Ritzheimer:

founder. I'm your host, Scott Ritzheimer, and if you've hired

Scott Ritzheimer:

your first handful of people, you know it's-it's not

Scott Ritzheimer:

necessarily one, maybe it is, but it's not necessarily two,

Scott Ritzheimer:

maybe it is, but it's not quite 10 yet either. Somewhere in

Scott Ritzheimer:

there. There's this messiness that happens because you realize

Scott Ritzheimer:

that instead of making your life easier, they've made your life

Scott Ritzheimer:

busier. And this is something that happens to virtually

Scott Ritzheimer:

everyone in level three. And here's the trap, and it actually

Scott Ritzheimer:

has a lot more to do with you than you think, because being

Scott Ritzheimer:

the best one in the room at the actual work is-it's exactly

Scott Ritzheimer:

what's keeping your team dependent on you. And my guest

Scott Ritzheimer:

today has lived on both sides of this problem. Lacey Newman is

Scott Ritzheimer:

here with us today. She's a founder, coach, and keynote

Scott Ritzheimer:

speaker who's helped 1000s of high-performing women build

Scott Ritzheimer:

lives and businesses that are truly their own. Over two

Scott Ritzheimer:

decades, Lacey built and scaled a real estate team to nearly 1

Scott Ritzheimer:

billion in sales volume, hosted an Emmy-nominated TV show, and

Scott Ritzheimer:

grew her personal income to seven figures, all while raising

Scott Ritzheimer:

two children of her own, and on her own, proving that ambition

Scott Ritzheimer:

and motherhood do not have to compete. Today, she helps

Scott Ritzheimer:

ambitious women break the cycle of over functioning, untangle

Scott Ritzheimer:

their identity from productivity, and reinvent their

Scott Ritzheimer:

work from a place of clarity instead of burnout, so they can

Scott Ritzheimer:

build wealth and freedom without sacrificing themself. Lacey,

Scott Ritzheimer:

that sounds wonderful. I hope you can show us how to do that.

Scott Ritzheimer:

But this is-I just want to start because I think it's-it's

Scott Ritzheimer:

important for folks to recognize that it's not just you,

Scott Ritzheimer:

listener, who feel this way. And and Lacey, I'm wondering how how

Scott Ritzheimer:

universal you think this is. Is something that everybody goes

Scott Ritzheimer:

through, or or is it something that only affects a select few?

Lacey Newman:

Well, it's interesting. It's an interesting

Lacey Newman:

question because I think it is something everyone should go

Lacey Newman:

through. But I do think that there are a number of founders.

Lacey Newman:

I call them overwhelmed operators, people who are kind

Lacey Newman:

of in what you describe as level three. I think that there are.

Lacey Newman:

This is a stop on the way to scaling your business, but it's

Lacey Newman:

also what I've seen where a lot of people get stuck because they

Lacey Newman:

enter this phase of business, and then they kind of like touch

Lacey Newman:

the hot stove, and then they never want to touch the hot

Lacey Newman:

stove again. So a lot of people, it is a place that you should

Lacey Newman:

travel through, but a lot of places, a lot of people will

Lacey Newman:

turn around and kind of hold themselves back in this spot.

Scott Ritzheimer:

When you touch a hot stove and it hurts, right?

Scott Ritzheimer:

That's clearly something wrong, and and and I think we have this

Scott Ritzheimer:

interesting relationship with pain, where pain can indicate

Scott Ritzheimer:

just something new, right? And it can also indicate something

Scott Ritzheimer:

wrong. How do you help your folks figure out the difference?

Scott Ritzheimer:

Because maybe they maybe they hired someone and it didn't work

Scott Ritzheimer:

out. Well, there are probably lessons to learn in there as

Scott Ritzheimer:

well. They probably did part of that at least wrong. How do you

Scott Ritzheimer:

separate the pain from "Hey, this is just new. I'm learning"

Scott Ritzheimer:

from the pain of "That was stupid. I shouldn't do that

Scott Ritzheimer:

again.

Lacey Newman:

That's a wonderful question. You know, I I have

Lacey Newman:

seen this post on social media a lot recently that says, you

Lacey Newman:

know, entrepreneurship is basically realizing how dumb you

Lacey Newman:

were six months ago, over and over and over again, and so

Lacey Newman:

that's the whole thing. Is that in in when you are a founder of

Lacey Newman:

a company, whether you're a solopreneur, a small business

Lacey Newman:

owner, growing a team, failure is the curriculum. You are going

Lacey Newman:

to constantly do things that don't work out, and so where I

Lacey Newman:

see people get hung up is they let that pain be the thing that

Lacey Newman:

holds them back, rather than letting it just be information

Lacey Newman:

that allows them to make a better decision moving forward.

Lacey Newman:

So you know the the distinction for me is not so much like how

Lacey Newman:

do I know if the pain means no, it's that the pain is always

Lacey Newman:

information, and so what are you learning from it? And we have, I

Lacey Newman:

believe that a lot of us, especially if you are, would

Lacey Newman:

consider yourself a people pleaser. If you would consider

Lacey Newman:

yourself that you know I have to, you know, perfectionist type

Lacey Newman:

person, somebody who wants to achieve and is really failure

Lacey Newman:

averse. Those types of people, and I can identify with this

Lacey Newman:

myself. And so many of the women that I work with do this as

Lacey Newman:

well. We are so afraid of failing that we don't embrace

Lacey Newman:

failure as just part of the journey, and and really treat it

Lacey Newman:

as the curriculum that it really is.

Scott Ritzheimer:

Yeah, I think one of the reasons why this

Scott Ritzheimer:

shows up so profoundly at this stage, is because when you start

Scott Ritzheimer:

building a team around you, the very same things that might have

Scott Ritzheimer:

been dysfunctional might not, but either way, served you

Scott Ritzheimer:

really well in the past, right? The people pleasing. If you'll

Scott Ritzheimer:

bend over backwards to serve your customers, customers like

Scott Ritzheimer:

that. The perfectionist. If you do a better job than anybody

Scott Ritzheimer:

else, your customers like. That and and in some ways we're

Scott Ritzheimer:

rewarded for that, right? Completely, and then we get to

Scott Ritzheimer:

where we have a team, and they need stuff from us as well, and

Scott Ritzheimer:

we don't want to let them down, and we feel the need to please

Scott Ritzheimer:

them, and they're between us and the perfectionism. It seems like

Scott Ritzheimer:

adding other people to the mix really complicates this for that

Scott Ritzheimer:

that style of person.

Lacey Newman:

It absolutely can if you don't change who you are

Lacey Newman:

and how you operate. Because in the way that you just described

Lacey Newman:

it, if I'm the founder and I am people pleasing my clients and

Lacey Newman:

I'm showing up perfectly all the time and I'm really managing the

Lacey Newman:

entire experience on my own, and then I bring some people on the

Lacey Newman:

team to quote unquote support me slash help me, but instead of

Lacey Newman:

letting them take some of some ownership off of my plate, I end

Lacey Newman:

up like mother henning them instead of letting them really

Lacey Newman:

support me. Then I have just added to my own chaos. I just

Lacey Newman:

have more people to serve at this point. So I tell my

Lacey Newman:

coaching clients sometimes, and they laugh at this. But I tell

Lacey Newman:

my I tell my clients that when you hire someone, you need to

Lacey Newman:

act a little bit incompetent. You need to you need to really

ask yourself:

Is this something that I can do, or is this

ask yourself:

something that I truly should do? And really drawing that

ask yourself:

distinction between what can I do, what should I do, is really

ask yourself:

that line. And you've got to be willing to go. I know I can do

ask yourself:

it. I know I can do it amazingly well. But if I continue to do

ask yourself:

it, I'm standing not only in the way of the growth of my

ask yourself:

business, but in the growth of this person that I just hired to

ask yourself:

support me, and so you kind of just have to take your hands off

ask yourself:

the wheel and trust in some areas. And one great rule of

ask yourself:

thumb that I use is that if somebody can do a job at least

ask yourself:

80% as well as you can, then you need to let them. And so, but

ask yourself:

this is hard because especially people who have built our

ask yourself:

businesses through grit, through doing everything on our own, we

ask yourself:

have those perfectionist tendencies. It can be really

ask yourself:

hard to allow someone to not do something as well as we know

ask yourself:

that we could do it. But not only do we stand on our own way,

ask yourself:

we don't give them the opportunity to shine. And what I

ask yourself:

have discovered so many times is that when I take my hands off

ask yourself:

the wheel, I let someone own something. A lot of the time,

ask yourself:

more often than not, especially if I've hired well, they will

ask yourself:

actually outperform me in this new task, and that is where it

ask yourself:

gets really exciting.

Scott Ritzheimer:

Let's talk about that. Let's talk about

Scott Ritzheimer:

hiring well because it is, in some extent a prerequisite

Scott Ritzheimer:

because if you have the wrong person and you do the right

Scott Ritzheimer:

things, you can still get the wrong result. Which then again,

Scott Ritzheimer:

how do you like? What was the right thing? What was the wrong

Scott Ritzheimer:

thing? It's really hard to tell. So, yet, how many entrepreneurs

Scott Ritzheimer:

do you know that went and had any type of formal training on

Scott Ritzheimer:

hiring at all? I mean, it's almost none. And those that do,

Scott Ritzheimer:

it's almost this equal but opposite problem. So let's just

Scott Ritzheimer:

talk with the the average, normal, typical founder. She has

Scott Ritzheimer:

she has found out that she has to hire and figured out how to

Scott Ritzheimer:

hire or maybe how not to hire just by having to.

Lacey Newman:

Right.

Scott Ritzheimer:

What? How can we help pave that road a little

Scott Ritzheimer:

bit clearer for them so that they can hire well as opposed to

Scott Ritzheimer:

just hiring because they have to.

Lacey Newman:

Sure, I've got a few steps to do this that are

Lacey Newman:

really, really easy to follow. I mean, step number one is hire

Lacey Newman:

before you need to, but nobody ever does that. So let's not

Lacey Newman:

pretend that's a reality. We don't do that. Normally, we hire

Lacey Newman:

when we are already in significant pain, and we will

Lacey Newman:

often throw out some sort of job description. Put out, put out

Lacey Newman:

the signal. We need some help. We bring a couple people in, and

Lacey Newman:

we look at who we have in front of us, and we go, okay, any,

Lacey Newman:

miney, moe. Which of these people is probably the best out

Lacey Newman:

of the ones that are in front of us? And then we hire them, and

Lacey Newman:

we bring them on board, and then often we are so busy doing what

Lacey Newman:

we do that we don't actually onboard them, train them, and

Lacey Newman:

support them properly. Much less the conversation we just had

Lacey Newman:

about actually letting them support us, and then it doesn't

Lacey Newman:

work out. And then we go, "Oh, I touched the hot stove. I don't

Lacey Newman:

want to do that again. That was a mess. But really, it was

Lacey Newman:

because there was no process that was really followed. So the

Lacey Newman:

way that I do it, and when I'm working, especially with my

Lacey Newman:

one-on-one clients who are are really in this position, I say

Lacey Newman:

first of all, you have to start with what what truly is the job

Lacey Newman:

that you need. You need to look at what is mine, and what should

Lacey Newman:

I not be doing. And then now we used to have to go, okay, what

Lacey Newman:

needs to be done by me? What needs to be done by a system?

Lacey Newman:

What can a system take over, or what needs to be done by another

Lacey Newman:

human? Well, now there's a fourth category, which is what

Lacey Newman:

can AI do? So before in if you lose someone on your team, or

Lacey Newman:

you're creating a new position on your team, you need to first

Lacey Newman:

begin. With where can this be tackled with AI? Because there

Lacey Newman:

is so much that can be automated and can be done by AI now.

Lacey Newman:

That's really exciting, which then allows you and the other

Lacey Newman:

humans on your team to do really important work that only a human

Lacey Newman:

can do. It's better for you. It's better for the people and

Lacey Newman:

their growth on your team. So you've got to ask yourself that

Lacey Newman:

question first, but you put out okay, this is what I truly need.

Lacey Newman:

This is what the rule the role truly requires, and then I

Lacey Newman:

always have people submit a video with applications. So I

Lacey Newman:

have you fill out my application, and at the bottom

Lacey Newman:

of the application it says, please submit a three minute

Lacey Newman:

video. You know, couple basic questions like, why do you think

Lacey Newman:

you're a great fit for this job? What do you see yourself

Lacey Newman:

bringing to the role? You know, don't. This is not rocket

Lacey Newman:

science. Just something. But what I do is that by having them

Lacey Newman:

submit a video, number one, you rule out a lot of people

Lacey Newman:

instantly because lots of people will not submit a video. Okay,

Lacey Newman:

if you can't follow instructions, you're not going

Lacey Newman:

to be on my team. A lot of times, people will email me and

Lacey Newman:

say, "I can't figure out how to submit this video. Okay. Well,

Lacey Newman:

if you can't figure it out without coming to me, you don't

Lacey Newman:

belong on my team. So then, of the people who followed

Lacey Newman:

instructions and figured it out on their own, even if they

Lacey Newman:

didn't quite know how to do it, I then get the opportunity to

Lacey Newman:

see how people communicate. See, you know, get their thought

Lacey Newman:

process. I really go into my interviews with them coming from

Lacey Newman:

a more informed place, and then I always like to give people a

Lacey Newman:

test project, a paid test project, because a lot of times

Lacey Newman:

we will make assumptions about a new hire and what their

Lacey Newman:

capabilities are, or you know what they know or they don't

Lacey Newman:

know. But I love to give people a test project and I pay them,

Lacey Newman:

you know, equivalent of what that project might be. A lot of

Lacey Newman:

times I'm working with independent contractors, so I'll

Lacey Newman:

just say, okay, this is the this is the job I want you to do.

Lacey Newman:

Let's negotiate a fair rate for it, but this is not a big

Lacey Newman:

contract, and then it gives me the opportunity without a ton of

Lacey Newman:

instruction to see what they bring to the table, and then if

Lacey Newman:

you've done that, if you know that you found, if you've really

Lacey Newman:

done your own due diligence on what are you truly looking for,

Lacey Newman:

you do a really nice streamlined vetting process of the right

Lacey Newman:

candidate. You give them an opportunity to show you what you

Lacey Newman:

can do before you make a commitment. Then you have really

Lacey Newman:

done a lot more in creating an environment that allows for that

Lacey Newman:

person to be the right fit on your team. But then you really

Lacey Newman:

have to take it to the next level, and you have to show up

Lacey Newman:

for them and give them your time and attention, give them

Lacey Newman:

proximity to you, because you can give somebody an SOP and a

Lacey Newman:

job description, and say go figure it out. But they will

Lacey Newman:

learn so much more by being around you and being in your

Lacey Newman:

presence, and really learning how you think, not just how to

Lacey Newman:

do the job. And if you follow those that set of instructions,

Lacey Newman:

the the success rate that I and my clients have had with making

Lacey Newman:

a great hire that lasts a long time and truly does add value is

Lacey Newman:

is really really high.

Scott Ritzheimer:

Yeah, one of the things that I kept thinking

Scott Ritzheimer:

about as you're going through this because those are really

Scott Ritzheimer:

wonderful and simple steps, and it makes sense, especially why

Scott Ritzheimer:

you would need to start hiring ahead to give yourself time for

Scott Ritzheimer:

this process to see its way through. But one of the

Scott Ritzheimer:

challenges I think listener might be thinking as they're

Scott Ritzheimer:

sitting there, like Lacey, you seem super, super confident.

Scott Ritzheimer:

It's easy for you to just say, "Oh, they're the they're not the

Scott Ritzheimer:

right fit. But there's this imposter syndrome that sneaks in

Scott Ritzheimer:

on us that kind of tells us, "Who do you think you are? Why

Scott Ritzheimer:

do you think they would work for you, or or why do you think

Scott Ritzheimer:

you're so special that they should have to jump hoops for

Scott Ritzheimer:

you? What would you say to you know a client of yours that was

Scott Ritzheimer:

wrestling with that imposter syndrome at this stage?

Lacey Newman:

Well, the right person for you would never think

Lacey Newman:

those things. So the number one thing that founders who are like

Lacey Newman:

me, who are often you know solopreneurs, small team

Lacey Newman:

leaders, small business owners-I'm not talking about

Lacey Newman:

like 10 person teams, as you know. The number one quality

Lacey Newman:

that I'm looking for in someone to bring on my team is a "I will

Lacey Newman:

do whatever you need" attitude. Somebody who comes in and is

Lacey Newman:

like, "I am here to learn. No job is too big. No job is too

Lacey Newman:

small. I'm here to show up because that that level of

Lacey Newman:

appreciation for what you do and engagement in the process is

Lacey Newman:

something that you can't really teach. So that's what I'm

Lacey Newman:

looking for first and foremost is somebody who's just like I'm

Lacey Newman:

excited for this opportunity. I'm willing to roll up my

Lacey Newman:

sleeves and do whatever needs to happen to get it done. That that

Lacey Newman:

is a really good indicator that you have the right person. And

Lacey Newman:

so you know if you if you are hung up on I don't deserve to

Lacey Newman:

have support or I'm not ready to have support or you know I don't

Lacey Newman:

have well I hear a lot of times well when I get all these

Lacey Newman:

systems in place. Then I'll be ready to bring someone on. I

Lacey Newman:

mean, it that that is a mentality that will keep you

Lacey Newman:

stuck in exactly the place that you are for so long. You bring

Lacey Newman:

someone in who will help you create the systems. Bring

Lacey Newman:

somebody in that will help you untangle the mess that you have

Lacey Newman:

made by trying to do it all on your own. And so it's really

Lacey Newman:

it's really not achieving perfectionism that or achieving

Lacey Newman:

a perfect spot in your business where you now deserve to have

Lacey Newman:

support. It's bring that support in and let them help you get to

Lacey Newman:

the place that you want to get.

Scott Ritzheimer:

Yeah, to to just totally let that fear go

Scott Ritzheimer:

away, and I think you you would speak to this as well. I

Scott Ritzheimer:

remember thinking I was the only person who had a screwed up

Scott Ritzheimer:

business, and then I remember walking into my first like other

Scott Ritzheimer:

$10 million business, and I was like, "You guys are more screwed

Scott Ritzheimer:

up than we are. And then I remember the first time I

Scott Ritzheimer:

consulted with $100 million organization, I'm like, "This is

Scott Ritzheimer:

terrifying. You know, how could I teach them anything? And in 30

Scott Ritzheimer:

minutes, I'm like, "They're just as screwed up as we are. And

Scott Ritzheimer:

then the same thing for a billion dollar organization and

Scott Ritzheimer:

and a $7 billion like everyone screwed up so yeah I love that

Scott Ritzheimer:

like don't wait for everything to be great it's always going to

Scott Ritzheimer:

be messed up but that doesn't mean it can't be better I really

Scott Ritzheimer:

really love that Lacey there's this question that I want to

Scott Ritzheimer:

make sure we make time for because it's a question ask

Scott Ritzheimer:

every one of our guests, and I'm very interested to see what

Scott Ritzheimer:

you'd have to say. But the question is this: What is the

Scott Ritzheimer:

biggest secret you wish wasn't a secret at all? What's that one

Scott Ritzheimer:

thing you wish every founder watching or listening today knew?

Lacey Newman:

Well, you kind of just stole my thunder on this,

Lacey Newman:

so I'm going to have to come up with another answer because the

Lacey Newman:

first thing that came to my mind, as I know you ask this

Lacey Newman:

question on this podcast. Is when I have clients come to me

Lacey Newman:

and they say, "When I I thought that when I had a multi million

Lacey Newman:

dollar business, it would all be organized and it wouldn't be

Lacey Newman:

stressful and it wouldn't be a mess. And I was like, "Well, why

Lacey Newman:

would you think that? You know, the bigger your business

Lacey Newman:

becomes, the bigger mess there is. So I'll piggyback on that

Lacey Newman:

and say the thing that I really wish people understood is that

Lacey Newman:

the current the the business that you built that will get

Lacey Newman:

you, let's say, to earning six figures, that will get you

Lacey Newman:

earning multiple six figures, that is not the same business

Lacey Newman:

that's required to get you to seven figures and multi seven

Lacey Newman:

figures and eight figures. Your business has to look completely

Lacey Newman:

different at every major jump in its size and structure. And so,

Lacey Newman:

one the moment that I really had that realization in my previous

Lacey Newman:

career as a real estate agent, all of a sudden, I mean, we'd

Lacey Newman:

been we'd been clicking along for a very long time, things

Lacey Newman:

were working beautifully, and then there came this point in

Lacey Newman:

time where everyone on my team started crying, and I was

Lacey Newman:

crying. the The support staff was crying. My business partner

Lacey Newman:

at the time. I mean, it we the wheels fell off. We were not

Lacey Newman:

happy. We were really stressed out. And what I came to realize

Lacey Newman:

is it wasn't a cultural issue on our team. It wasn't because I

Lacey Newman:

didn't have the right people on the team. It wasn't the clients.

Lacey Newman:

It wasn't anything other than the fact that the systems that

Lacey Newman:

we had created, that had worked beautifully up until a certain

Lacey Newman:

point, could no longer hold the business that we had then. And

Lacey Newman:

so that's that's really the thing I wish that people

Lacey Newman:

understood more. Is that you cannot hit your next level? I

Lacey Newman:

talk to I talk to the women I work with a ton about capacity.

Lacey Newman:

You can't hit a you can't carry a bigger business on your own

Lacey Newman:

capacity. You have to add additional structure. You have

Lacey Newman:

to add additional systems. You got to add additional support to

Lacey Newman:

really get to that next level, and I think that I think that so

Lacey Newman:

many of us believe, especially if we built our business by

Lacey Newman:

white knuckling it ourselves, we believe that if we just work

Lacey Newman:

harder, if we just learn a little more, if we work a little

Lacey Newman:

bit longer, we can get to that next stage. But that's not it at

Lacey Newman:

all.

Scott Ritzheimer:

all. Yeah, yeah, so true, so true. Well,

Scott Ritzheimer:

Lacey, before I let you go, I know there's some folks

Scott Ritzheimer:

listening who just they've loved this conversation. They'd love

Scott Ritzheimer:

to hear more about you, the work that you do, who you help, and

Scott Ritzheimer:

how you help them. Where can folks connect with you? Where

Scott Ritzheimer:

can they find more about the work th at you do?

Lacey Newman:

So you can find more about the work I do at my

Lacey Newman:

website, LaceyNewman.com, or I hang out on Instagram. That's

Lacey Newman:

my. That is my favorite social media. That's where I'm posting

Lacey Newman:

a ton of free content. My Instagram handle is

Lacey Newman:

heylaceynewman, and reach out to me if anybody has any questions.

Lacey Newman:

You know, one of the things that I really enjoy helping people

Lacey Newman:

with is time management because so many people want to work on

Lacey Newman:

their business, but they're so busy working in their business

Lacey Newman:

that they never really have time to do it. And I've created a

Lacey Newman:

super easy framework that will help you find the time in your

Lacey Newman:

own schedule to work on the things that will truly move your

Lacey Newman:

business forward. Even if right now you say I don't have any

Lacey Newman:

time to do it, and that's one of. My specialty is one of the

Lacey Newman:

things that I love helping people do the most because

Lacey Newman:

you'll never you never find time you have to go make the time and

Lacey Newman:

that's what I've really solved for. So if anybody's interested

Lacey Newman:

in learning a little more about that, I've got a totally free

Lacey Newman:

training that you can get from me. Just go and text me reclaim

Lacey Newman:

on Instagram, and I'd be happy to send it your way.

Scott Ritzheimer:

Brilliant, brilliant. We'll get that in the

Scott Ritzheimer:

show notes for all you, both the handle and the keyword. Lacey,

Scott Ritzheimer:

this was a wonderful conversation. I really, really

Scott Ritzheimer:

enjoyed it, and appreciate you coming on. And for those of you

Scott Ritzheimer:

watching and listening today, you know your time and attention

Scott Ritzheimer:

mean the world to us. I hope you got as much out of this

Scott Ritzheimer:

conversation as I know I did, and I cannot wait to see you
