Show Notes

In this episode, we have a special guest, Lia Garvin, an expert in getting unstuck and scaling teams. Lia shares her journey and how she discovered the need for her expertise in the small business market. She discusses her transition from the corporate world to entrepreneurship. Despite initial imposters’ feelings, she realized the importance of understanding people and bridging gaps in team dynamics. Her expertise lies in making expectations clear and fostering a sense of ownership and purpose among team members. She also shares with us the lessons she learned in her journey and insights on how to overcome common challenges and create a thriving team. 

Here are some highlights of this conversation:

The Role of Clear Expectations: The significance of clarifying the link between business priorities and individual roles within the team. 

Benefits of Clarity and Communication: When team members have clarity on expectations, they feel seen, heard, and valued. 

Shifting Mindset for Business Growth: Lia highlights the importance of delegating tasks and building a team that excels in their respective areas of expertise.

Disruption without Destruction: To achieve scalable growth, Lia recommends focusing on the "how" of work within the team. 

Creating an Environment for A-Player Leaders: To attract and retain top talent, business owners must become A-player leaders themselves. 

The Power of Small Changes: Lia emphasizes the impact of small shifts in operations and mindset. Through awareness and strategic adjustments, business owners can optimize their time, improve team performance, and increase profitability. 

The Neuroscience Perspective: When team members have clarity and autonomy, their brains open up to creativity, intuition, and problem-solving.

Taking the First Step: Lia recommends starting with understanding how work gets done within the team. This involves mapping out processes, decision-making, and delegation strategies. 

Building a Not-to-Do List: Business owners need to prioritize their time and focus on tasks that align with their unique strengths and value proposition. By identifying tasks that can be deleted, automated, or delegated, they can free up time to work on high-impact activities that drive business growth.


If you are looking to build effective teams and implement systems that foster clarity, empowerment, and alignment, this is for you. By focusing on the "how" of team operations and seeking expert support, entrepreneurs can scale their businesses while saving time, reducing stress, and driving profitability. Remember, small hinges can swing big doors, and investing in team success is investing in business success. It's time to revolutionize your team and play bigger in your business!
