59: [On Air Coaching] Should She Shift from Contractors to a Team of Employees with Jenny Melrose

As you scale your business and your daily workload becomes too much for one person to handle, it’s time to stack your team. Most business owners start by dipping their toes in and hiring independent contractors. But, as your business continues to grow, should you continue hiring contractors or shift to hiring a team?  

This is the dilemma that Jenny Melrose faces as she prepares to step out of overwhelm with help from a team. Jenny is a former reading specialist who “retired” from her teaching career when her blogging income far exceeded her salary. Through hard work and dedication, her lifestyle blog, The Melrose Family, became regularly sought out by nationally recognized brands such as Neutrogena, Smuckers, Glad, Costco, Stanley Steamer, Sara Lee and many more.  

She is a content strategist that helps entrepreneurs better understand their messaging and unique position in the online space. Now, she’s combining her passion for teaching with her extensive experience of creating strategic content for online business owners via JennyMelrose.com and her podcast, Influencer Entrepreneurs with Jenny Melrose.
