Hello! Christi shared this community with me and I am excited to be here to see how I can support. My name is Dr. Sabrina Starling, and for the last 18 years, I have been on a mission to figure out how to grow a business without it taking over your life. I'm the author of several books including The 4 Week Vacation® and How to Hire the Best, as well as the host of the Profit by Design podcast. I have lots of resources I can share to help you take your life back from your business.
I believe work supports life, not the other way around. I've grown my business working 25 hours a week over the last 18 years so that I could be there for my family. I used to keep that a secret because I was afraid my clients (mostly men in the construction industry) wouldn't think I had a "real" business. It wasn't until a colleague told me, not only do you have a real business, but you have a real cool business, that I decided I needed to share my story. Because of that, I get to help business owners set their businesses up to run without their daily involvement. At Tap the Potential, we have a lot of business owner clients who are working 25 hour weeks, or taking 4 Week Vacations®, or both.
My big, hairy audacious goal is to send 10,000 entrepreneurs on a 4 Week Vacation in the next 10 years. That's how I'll know I've made an impact and can retire 🙂
Many of our clients are in the construction industry, and one of my books is specifically for helping contractors hire A-Players (How to Hire the Best: The Contractor's Ultimate Guide to Attracting Top Performing Team Members).
I'd love to be connected for podcast guesting, or speaking opportunities. And, if you want to take your life back from your business, a good resource to start with is my Chart of $10,000 an Hour Activities (tapthepotential.com/10k). This tool is what enabled me to grow my business, working 25 hours per week. I hope it helps you, too!
