149. From First Hire to Strong Team: The Systems That Help You Scale

149. From First Hire to Strong Team: The Systems That Help You Scale

💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗 Hiring your first employee feels exciting. You post the “WE’RE HIRING!” graphic, start getting applications, and suddenly you're imagining all the things you'll finally have help with. But what nobody talks about is everything that comes after that.  In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Jen Rodgers from Just Peachy Clean and Profit Pathways to talk about hiring, onboarding, employee training, documentation, compliance, and the systems that help you build a business that can actually grow and last. We dive into the difference between W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, what paperwork every employer should have in place, what belongs in an employee handbook, and why documenting everything can save you a lot of headaches down the road. We also talk about training (because “watch me clean this bathroom and then good luck!” is not exactly a scalable system), annual certifications, and why treating cleaning like the skilled trade it truly is helps elevate both your team and the industry as a whole. Plus, we get real about mistakes we've made, lessons we've learned the hard way, and why being proactive is so much easier than trying to fix things later. Whether you're still solo, getting ready for your first hire, or already growing a team, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you build stronger systems, set clearer expectations, and create a business that lasts. So grab your coffee, put in your earbuds, and let's talk about the not-always-glamorous side of growing a successful business!

148. Compliance Isn't Cute ... But It Might Save Your Business

💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗 Okay besties … today, we’re talking about the side of entrepreneurship that nobody wants to think about: compliance, insurance, OSHA, workers comp, payroll paperwork, and all the “boring” business stuff that becomes VERY important the second something goes wrong.  In this episode, we’re breaking down: ✨ workplace safety and OSHA ✨ why solo cleaners need protection too ✨ general liability insurance and bonding ✨ hiring legally and staying compliant ✨ why protecting your business also protects your employees and clients We’re also sharing lessons from our own business journey, things we wish we knew sooner, and why being the cheapest option is not always the goal. At the end of the day, this episode is your reminder that the “unsexy” side of business matters too — because protecting your business is just as important as growing it. ‧⁺˚･༓ ⋅ʚ ✿ LET'S CONNECT ✿ ɞ⋅ ༓･˚⁺‧ ➡️ Show notes, guest form and more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thehustlehavenllc.com/hustledup⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.thehustlehavenllc.com/hustledup] Have a request or have a topic suggestion?

147. Romanticizing Your Life in the Midst of the Hustle ❤️

💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗 In this episode of Hustled Up, we’re talking all about romanticizing your life when you’re tired of the hustle … because somewhere along the way, society convinced entrepreneurs that skipping meals, sitting in an office chair for 10 hours straight, and answering emails while inhaling a sandwich at your desk was somehow a flex. Spoiler alert: it’s not good for you. It’s not healthy. And yes, we are absolutely guilty of doing all of it. We’re diving into the small, realistic ways we’ve been trying to bring more joy back into our everyday lives while still growing our businesses. From turning boring bank runs into Starbucks dates, to actually stepping away from our office to grab lunch, to making our office feel cozy and inspiring, we’re sharing practical ways to make life feel a little softer again. We also talk about our plans for the summer — including leaving the office early for pool days, taking walks, eating lunch outside, and actually letting ourselves enjoy the season instead of blinking and realizing summer is over. We also get real about the guilt that comes with stepping away from work as entrepreneurs, the pressure to “earn” rest, and why burnout should not be worn like a badge of honor. Plus: a passionate debate about whether fresh flowers in the office are a necessity or an unnecessary expense, office chair butt, cute mugs, doom scrolling, and why your nervous system probably needs you to go touch grass immediately. At the end of the day, this episode is your reminder that life does not start after the hustle. You are allowed to enjoy your life while you’re building it — even if it’s just through tiny little moments of joy: a sunset walk, a coffee run with your best friend, or finally eating your lunch somewhere other than your desk. ‧⁺˚･༓ ⋅ʚ ✿ LET'S CONNECT ✿ ɞ⋅ ༓･˚⁺‧ ➡️ Show notes, guest form and more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thehustlehavenllc.com/hustledup⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.thehustlehavenllc.com/hustledup] Have a request or have a topic suggestion?

146. If They Don’t Align, They Don’t Stay: The Core Values Wake-Up Call

💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗 This week, we’re coming to you a little more vulnerable than usual. We’ve been going through a tough season in our business — one that we’re not quite ready to fully share yet — but it forced us to take a hard look at something we thought we had down: our core values. In this episode, we’re talking about what core values actually mean beyond “cute words on a wall,” and why they have to become the foundation for every decision you make as a business owner. From hiring and firing to client relationships and team culture, your core values should guide it all. And if they don’t? You’re going to feel it. We break down our core values — charity, honesty, open communication, reliability, excellence, and selflessness — and share real-life examples of what it looks like when they’re honored … and when they’re not. We also get honest about where we went wrong, the red flags we ignored, and why keeping the wrong people (employees OR clients) is more costly than letting them go. We’re diving into: ✨ Why core values are your ultimate decision-making filter ✨ The difference between a skill issue and a values issue ✨ The red flags that signal misalignment early on ✨ Why you need to act fast when something feels off ✨ The hard truth about letting people go (and why it’s necessary) ✨ How to actually implement core values in your business so they stick If you’ve ever kept someone around too long, ignored your gut, or felt like something was “off” in your business but couldn’t quite explain why — this episode is for you. Because at the end of the day, we’re not looking for perfect people … we’re looking for aligned people.

145. We Love You … We’re Just Exhausted: Friendship as Busy Business Owners

💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗 Friendship in adulthood is one thing … but friendship as a business owner? That’s a whole different level. In this episode, we’re getting real about what it actually looks like to maintain relationships when your brain never shuts off, your schedule is chaotic, and your energy is already spent before the weekend even begins. From decision fatigue to group chat silence, we’re breaking down why making plans can feel harder than running your business — and why that doesn’t make you a bad friend. We also talk about something that needs to be normalized ASAP: you’re allowed to say no … even if you’re not “busy.” Being burnt out is reason enough, and you don’t owe anyone a dramatic explanation. We dive into the guilt, the over-explaining, and the fear of being left out — and how we’ve learned to communicate better, set boundaries, and protect our energy without losing the relationships that matter most. And yes … we get a little sassy. Because sometimes you do outgrow friendships, sometimes seasons shift, and sometimes you need to find people who truly understand your life — like fellow business owners who just get it. At the end of the day, real friendships don’t fall apart when life gets busy… they adjust. So if you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at being a “good friend” while building your business, this episode is your reminder: you’re not. You’re just in a busy season — and the right people will grow with you. ‧⁺˚･༓ ⋅ʚ ✿ LET'S CONNECT ✿ ɞ⋅ ༓･˚⁺‧ 💚 CLAIM YOUR FREE TRIAL + JOBBER DISCOUNT TODAY: ⁠⁠⁠https://join.getjobber.com/holly⁠⁠⁠ [https://join.getjobber.com/holly] ➡️ Show notes, guest form and more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thehustlehavenllc.com/hustledup⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.thehustlehavenllc.com/hustledup] Have a request or have a topic suggestion?
