Ep 5: 145 Staff At 21: What Painting Boss; Tim Sheather Learned About Hiring, Letting Go And Building A Business You Can Step Away From.

How do you build your business to the stage where you can step away without the whole thing falling over?

Lisa sits down with Tim Sheather (Sheather's Painting) in Wagga Wagga to talk about the overlooked strategy that has shaped his business growth over the years: learning from other people.

From building the right team to getting involved in the community, Tim shares how surrounding yourself with good people, staying open to other people’s experiences and giving back can help you grow a stronger business and become a better leader.

What you’ll take away:
- Why stepping away starts with surrounding yourself with the right people, not trying to do everything yourself.
- How trust in staff is built through training, clear expectations and taking responsibility as the owner when things go wrong.
- Keeping the business model simple can make growth, delegation and cash flow easier to manage.
- How community involvement, volunteering and learning from other business owners helped shape both the business and Tim’s growth as a leader.
