Building a brand is great, but make sure you're also building a business behind it. A lot of business owners judge their success by the number of people they have on their payroll. There's also great opportunity to embrace fractional and contract workforce.

Business owners are financially responsible for three to four entities at all times. How do you separate that, though? Have you figured out how to just draw a line at some point?

As Julie and the rest of the United States celebrates Independence Day, she takes a moment to reflect on the freedoms our country offers and some of those specifically for business owners. Freedom as a business owner doesn’t always mean you get to work where and whenever you want to but, it does require an equally high level of discretion and discernment in the choices you make each day.

In this week’s episode, Julie invests a few minutes with you to reflect on that discretion and discernment, as well as the hard work, determination, and resilience it takes each day as a business owner, and that is something you likely aren’t taught in business school.

In this week’s episode, Julie is updating you all on her journey of redefining her core values. She’s currently on the step where she takes all the challenging work she’s done up to this point and create her initial list of personal core values.

Show Transcript

Hey there, this is Julie Bee, and you’re listening to They Don’t Teach THIS in Business School. Today I’m going to share something that they don’t teach in business school about business ownership, but every business owner eventually this truth.

The right people, in the right seats, on the right bus make all the difference.

My first exposure to this idea came from the book, EMyth, by Michael Gerber, and I’ve read similar concepts in many other books about leadership, teams, management, and people. The premise is to make everything move along nicely in your business, you have to have the right people, doing the right jobs (their seats), for the right company or department (their bus).

I know business school teaches management, but I don’t know if they get into the weeds like this topic. But let me backup a bit first, because what I think a lot of new business owners don’t appreciate is how freaking hard it is to have all 3 of those things line up – and then to maintain that over time.

At one point, I had maybe 3 of 5 people that checked all the boxes. Today, I have zero checking all the boxes – and I’m working on it. I either have the right person, wrong seat, or right person, wrong bus. I guess at least I have the right person – that’s a big part of the battle. But there are several lessons to learn here, so let’s jump in.

First and foremost – it is tough to find the right person. Forget right seat, right bus for a minute. I firmly believe that the first fit for any potential new hire is culture and core values. In most cases, an individual can be taught skills. But culture and values fit are characterstics a new person either has or doesn’t. So for me, right person has always been about culture and core values fit first. Over the years, I’ve developed ways to screen for this, but it took a while – I definitely made some mistakes. And I realize this is just my opinion – if you value skills first, then your “right person” would need to screened for skills. The bottom line here is, you have to define what “right person” means to you and your company, based on your priorities. So first, you have to define your priorities, then define “right person”, then figure out a way to screen them.

And even when you have all of that it is still very challenging to find that right person.

Hey, this is Julie Bee, and you’re listening to They Don’t Teach This in Business School. I’m discussing the importance of right person, right seat, right bus, originally from The EMyth book. It’s something that most business owners (including myself) learn the hard way. We just discussed the right person, but the right seat – or job role for that person – is really important for your workplace.

When it comes to the right seat, what I’ve learned with experience is that while the right person is what makes me happy as a business owner, it’s the right seat on the right bus that make the employee happy. That is something to remember – you might really like the person you’ve interviewed, but if you don’t have the right seat FOR THEM, or if your company isn’t the right bus FOR THEM – they won’t be happy. Over time, they’ll become the wrong person.

Those job seats and buses can also change for your employees over time, so you always have to be aware that something might shift for them during their employment. This is where coaching, regular check-ins, and getting their opinions on strategic-level ideas can help YOU know where they stand. It can help you sense discomfort or unease and have open communications about it.

And if you have a key employee who you feel is starting to need a new seat or new bus – move heaven and earth to make it happen. There is no dollar value I can put on the peace of mind my key employee give me – and almost every business owner will tell you the same thing about their key employee. So why not do everything you can to make it work for them? It has to work for you, of course – but if they’re still the right person, try to make it work if that key employee needs a new role or new department (or even a new business) to work on.

And finally the thing I want to really ask of you, business owners – to really go deeper into to this topic - is this. Are you the right person, in the right seat, on the right bus? That’s a question I think all business owners need to ask themselves once a year. Most business owners, myself included, do some work they really should outsource or delegate, but beyond that – are you the right person with the skills and culture fit? Are you in the right seat? Are you in the right business? Because if any of these are out of alignment for you, your business and the people who work there will feel the negative impact that misalignment can have.

So back to what I said earlier in this episode about how I currently having zero people in the right seats, on the right bus – that includes me. I do have the right people, but that’s it right now. I’m making some major transitions in my main business to make sure I get back in the right seat on that bus. But I’ve also started other buses, and I’ve moved my key employee to a different bus that was the right move for me, but more importantly, it was the right move for her.

At the end of the day, you and I are on this business ownership journey together. We’re not always going to be spot on with our decisions, but what I try to strive for is better, not perfect. Making improvements along the way. I think when it comes to right person-right seat-right bus – this whole idea – that’s the best you can do. It’s a difficult concept to teach in business school (or elsewhere) and experience is how we learn it.

Hey there, you’re listening to They Don’t Teach This in Business School, a podcast about lessons learned on the business owner journey that only experience can teach. I’m Julie Bee, and I’m really glad you’re here today with me.

It’s been a while - and I’m glad to be back in the podcast studio!

Today I’m going to share what led up to a big realization I had a few months ago about going back to the start. I feel like that Coldplay song, The Scientist, should play right here…, “Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard – oh take me back to the start.”

That start for me is self-leadership, and this is definitely not something they teach in business school. It’s kind of learned along the way that you have to lead yourself first before you can lead other people well. Over the next several months, I’m going to share the steps of my journey to going back to self-leadership with you, through this podcast.

But first, how did I get here? How did I figure out that I needed to go back to the start of self-leadership?

Last fall and winter, my company went through some major changes in personnel. Not only did personnel change, but the direction of the company also changed. At some point I realized that the mission and vision of the company needed to change. All the while I had finally found my passion – which wasn’t my existing business – and all I wanted to do was work on that new passion, which is turning into a new business.

Then, due to some unforeseen situations, I got really sick. I wasn’t sleeping well. I was stressed about things going on in my personal life. And everything – EVERYHTHING – from work to my marriage to my relationships with others – they just felt off kilter.

If there was ever a time I wanted to burn it all to the ground and walk away, that was the time.

But in January, I started a mastermind group program. After a few meetings, I had a major realization – my PERSONAL core values had changed. Those core values are at the center of my business, so the core values at work weren’t quite right. IF you’ve heard me talk before, you know how big of a believer I am about values-aligned decisions.

I realized that a lot of decisions I’d made in 2021 weren’t in line with my current core values – they were in line with old ones. And probably the biggest realization of all was that the industry I’m currently working in – marketing – doesn’t align with at least one of my core values.

Hey, you’re listening to They Don’t Teach This in Business School, I’m Julie Bee, and I was just sharing something that I definitely didn’t learn in business school – self-leadership and core values.

I mentioned that my core values have changed, but the thing is, I don’t really know what they are yet. I have a feeling about a few – I think abundance is one of the new ones. There’s also one that I know is sticking around – loyalty. I doubt that one will ever change for me.

But right now, I’m on this self-leadership journey because somewhere along the way, I feel like the wheels fell off and I need to get back to steady. And I know, without a doubt, that the first step in self-leadership is to dig in and identify, or maybe rediscover is a better word, my personal core values.

Over the next few months, I’m going to walk through some self-leadership steps and share that journey with you, through this podcast. I’ll share my new list of core values when they are done, and I’ll share the process I used to get there.

Self-leadership is hard for business owners and entrepreneurs because we often don’t have someone looking over our shoulders to tell us that we’re off track from our values. Let’s be honest, that’s kind of why we’re business owners – so we don’t have someone looking over our shoulders. But sometimes it’s nice to have that kind of support. And because we aren’t usually taught a self-leadership process, we have to feel our way through it and figure it out as we go.

Self-leadership is a necessary skill for business owners to have, because you have to lead yourself first. If a business owner cannot lead themselves, they’ll have a really hard time leading their teams. I’m looking forward to digging into this topic and the steps I go through to make sure I’m leading myself in a values-aligned way, and I know I’ll learn a lot along the way. As I share this journey with you, I hope you learn a thing or two as well.

So stay tuned to They Don’t Teach This in Business School because we have some great episodes coming up. Interviews with other business owners, addressing people and process issues, and my own self-leadership journey are just the beginning. I’m Julie Bee, thank you so much for listening, and I’ll be back soon with another episode.

[00:00:00] Hey there, you're listening to the very first episode of they don't teach this in business school. I'm Julie Bee and I'm really glad you're here. If I'm a new voice to you. Welcome. And if you've listened to some of my other podcasts, welcome back. So, what is this podcast all about? Well, the answer is in this podcast, I'm going to share insights on what isn't taught in business school, but should be, about being an entrepreneurial leader.

I'll also do the occasional interview with other business owners, as they share their own insights about what they wish they had known or been taught about being a leader in growing a business. You may wonder what makes me qualified to talk about these topics. And here's just a small part of my background.

I've [00:01:00] been a business owner for over 15 years, I've gone through all the ups and downs you can imagine, and then some. As an entrepreneurial leader of teams and people, I've also had my fair share of people challenges.

I've also been to business school. Yes. I have that too. Before starting a business, I graduated from business school with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. Today, I'm often hired to speak to students at business colleges.

And I know that some of the things they need to know about business ownership and leadership are not taught to them. Now, I'm not blaming the business schools for the fact that they don't teach some of these things. Some things cannot be taught in a class. Experience is usually the best teacher. And that's so very true in business ownership.

My goal with this podcast is to help people, no matter where they are on their business leadership journey, by hearing some lessons, I wish someone had [00:02:00] taught me before I made the mistakes that I've made in business. And because I value the opinion and insights of others, I'm going to invite other seasoned entrepreneur to come on the show and discuss some of their own learnings, as well.

As we walked down this path, we'll have some great realizations about things that aren't taught in business school. And with any luck, the content will help you avoid some mistakes that other entrepreneurs and business leaders, myself included, have made.

So thank you for listening to they don't teach this in business school. I hope you find the lessons and discussions super helpful in your own business leadership journey.
