Have you ever invested so much time, money, and energy into a new employee only for them to quit after a short amount of time? Leaving you bewildered as to why.
Or maybe you hired someone who you thought was a perfect fit only to discover things during onboarding that made it clear they were not a fit and you had to let them go within their first few days, weeks, or even their first month?
It is basically the worst, isn’t it? In fact Lauren shares that she had two people in two days sending her emails about “burning through employees” or having to let someone go after THREE days… shesh. While she have yet to dig in deeper into why, her gut told her it is a few simple tweaks that would have made all the difference.
We’ll be the first to admit that hitting the bullseye with new hires can be a challenge - that is if you don’t know how to ready, aim, fire - which is why we know today's episode is going to be so valuable for you.

In this episode Lauren recalls talking to one of her favorite humans, Tim Francis the other day and as two operational experts they were discussing how often operational health gets overlooked.
It is very sexy to have a million dollar business. But you know what is sexier? Having a highly profitable million dollar business with not only good cash flow, but a deep cushion of “free cash” in the bank.
Welcome back to The Biz Doctor Podcast, today’s show is something that is top of mind for me and sure to be a perspective shifter so let’s dive in.
Something that Lauren admits that irks her to no end are the smoke and mirrors 7-figure businesses and launches that look good on the face, but when you peel back the curtain the behind the scenes is a different story.
Some might say Lauren is on a mission to end this silly braggadocious way of thinking about business because, let's face it… there is nothing sexy or fun about living on the edge with your business and going through the doldrums or worse revenue roller coaster fretting about how to make payroll.
Which brings us back to the question… what if we built businesses with the end in mind? The end being an exit.
What if we built, ran, and scaled our businesses asking this simple question “would I buy my business?”
It's a good question, huh?
Personally, we love the question because it forces us to take off the emotional glasses we normally view our businesses through and instead makes it objective, and dare we say vulnerable.
Apples to apples. When you look at the team you have, the business's operational vitals, your profitability and balance sheet, and the kicker - YOU … if you were looking to buy a business, would you buy yours and pay a top multiple?

Clawing your way back or white knuckling… two sides of the same coin … both having an underlying current of control.
Lauren talks about the time where she saw this happen in one of her clients. It was like his body was possessed by another.
He went from being really excited to get out of the trenches and focus on what we call his “Big 3” - you know the three things that, not only were they his unique abilities, but they were things he really enjoyed in the business - to suddenly trying to stick his fingers in every part of the proverbial pie.
Suddenly the team and business were thrown into chaos and whack-a-moling again after months of smooth sailing…
So why did this happen? Well that my friend is exactly what we are going to talk about on today’s episode.
Welcome back to The Biz Doctor Podcast, with your host Lauren Goldstein. Today we’re going to share with you the three things Lauren sees standing in the way of most business owners having the true entrepreneurial freedom that comes with getting out from under your business and out of the weeds.
Key takeaways:
Are you a 'seagull leader'Lack of trust, in yourself and your teamNot being clear about what YOU actually want?

Have ever looked around at other business owners who have similar businesses to you that “seem” to be so much more successful or easy than yours - and wondered what the heck you're are doing wrong?
If you answered yes, you are not alone. Lauren recalls she was very much in this camp for a few years banging her head against the wall and wondering why it seemed like such an uphill battle - that is until she discovered that each entrepreneur has a unique winning formula that if left unsolved will be the difference between struggling and sustainable success.
When Lauren learned what her winning formula was it changed everything which is why she wants to let you in on this secret on today’s episode.
Welcome back to The Biz Doctor Podcast, with your host Lauren Goldstein. Today we’re going to share with you a framework that will help you hit the easy button in your business and breathe a much needed sigh of relief.

Sometimes when we think “business owner” often only one ”type” comes to mind, the business owner who leads the company as president or CEO, but today we’ll talk about what Lauren has discovered over the course of the past 12 years in her business consulting - that there are actually THREE types of business owners!
And knowing the difference between them - and more importantly what type of business owner you want to be can have an exponentially large impact on your success - and the success of your business and team. And if you don’t have that clarity it can also sink your business and team so let’s dig into this episode shall we?

We’ve all been there, you did your best in hiring, said yes to someone, only for it to turn into a hindenburg situation.
The truth is because we are dealing with humans and not robots (sorry Elon) there are variables with hiring that try as we might still make it a bit of a moving target, but fear not, today I am going to dive into the real cost of a bad hire and more importantly how you can reduce these costs and make your next hire your best hire.
We're talking about a hot topic I see a lot in my clients and fellow business owners struggle with which is shifting from reactive to proactive hiring so that they can reduce the cost and mitigate the risk of a “bad hire”.
Key takeaways:
First, the biggest cost I see that we don’t think about is YOUR time and the team's time.So here are TWO things that you can do with the next hire that will DRASTICALLY save you timeThe third thing that will save you not only time AND money is this: Proactive hiring.I also share a bit about how to be an effective interviewer and how to objectively decide between candidates.

Have you ever had a symptom and found yourself down the rabbit hole of WebMD researching survival rates of meningiomas - instead of realizing you probably just have a migraine from staring at your computer all day? Or suddenly you have gangrene instead of a bone bruise from stubbing your toe? Well that is exactly what I am going to talk about in this weeks episode, the danger of self-diagnosing your own business
Welcome back to The Biz Doctor Podcast, I'm your host Lauren Goldstein.
Today I'm going to talk about something I see far too often go awry, self-diagnosing your own business.
If you've ever found yourself in one of these information wormholes trying to solve a team or operational challenge only to end up more overwhelmed then when you started, then fear not, I got you!
Today I'm going to give you three ways to diagnose your business better if you don't have yours truly, The Biz Doctor on speed dial.
Why is this skill so important? Because, if you don't find the root cause of what is ailing your business you are going to be not only plaything whack-a-mole with your business for the foreseeable future, but chances are you are going to flush down the toilet an enormous amount of money, time, and people trying to treat the “wrong thing.”

The number one reason why businesses fail is they run out of cash. One study showed that 82% of companies that fail do so because of cash flow problems.
Here’s the really surprising figure…. Only 40% of businesses are profitable - while 30% are actually continually LOSING MONEY!
Those figures are WILD - especially given how hard us business owners work, which is exactly why we’re so excited for today’s episode.

When it comes to an employer/employee relationship, I believe there is really only one thing that can’t be overcome, and that is resentment.
Welcome back to The Biz Doctor podcast, with your host, Lauren Goldstein, we’ll talk about a feeling and emotion that has been on a lot of lips lately and that is resentment.
Lauren says “I will go to my grave saying resentment is one that once it creeps in, that employee HAS to go. This is an emotion that, once infected, is almost impossible to eradicate, in fact, it is the kiss of death in my opinion.”
It seems like it is something that’s talked about more and more by employees and employers, so we’ll take some time today and really dive into what it is, where it comes from, and what to do about it if it is infecting someone on your team.
Key takeaways:
First, outside of pink eye, this is the most contagious disease in the workplace, this toxicity is sneaky, consuming, and toxic.Second, rarely if ever can someone become UN resentful once they have crossed that chasm.Last but not least, resentment can be the gateway to self and subconscious sabotage ... subconscious or conscious thoughts of “this will show them” will be illuminated in their behavior if you start to pay attention.CTAs/Resources
