This course has been the biggest help for me in strategizing how to put together a hiring process when hiring for the first time. It also me up to speed on administrative things that I wasn't privy to before.

Within 24 hours of posting my first job description per Joy's recommendations, I had candidates rolling in and a smooth process to easily weed through them and narrow down to ideal, interviewable candidates.

Joy's course gives detailed advice on how to create a team that is structured, efficient, and most importantly, joyful. This course taught us how to instill value and intentions into every aspect of our team building and culture, and how small details contribute to growing and sustaining a long-term and dedicated team. After the course, we were able to implement tangible steps to incorporate into our company. One of our favorite takeaways is Joy's importance of recognizing how you want your employees to feel at the end of the day. We loved how this course included practicality, passion, and personality.

After taking Joy's course, my thoughts on building a team are now more organized. I truly feel like I have the tools to build a team. I also really loved that Joy took the time to teach not only how to grow a team but also how to be a GOOD boss. She talks about basic rules and how to connect with employees but still keep healthy boundaries. Some of my favorite parts of the course were her opening up about how to work with accounting and HR, budgeting for employees, personal sacrifice to help make overall gain, and creating dreams within (and outside!) the workplace.

I walked away from Joy's class with a better understanding of how to take tangible steps to create the business of my dreams. Transitioning from being a solopreneur feels scary. I've taken a few online and weekend in-person business courses, and this one felt the most doable and practical step-by-step. It's a true road map in many ways, even as it was specific to how she did it, I felt it was customized for my needs!

Joy's class was an eye opener to say the least! I appreciated her ability to cut through the nuances of 21st century hiring and hiring practices. She gave me clear direction for identifying loyal, talented team members and beyond that, how to keep them long term and running a team on the day-to-day. Going forward, I now feel confident in how and when I need to fill roles and am excited to build my team!

What I really loved about the class is how Joy emphasized how much we (bosses, employers) are such a huge part of an employee's success and how our interest in their growth can make all the difference. I loved everything Joy said about how we can grow that passion in someone to become better and in turn we receive a loyal, hardworking, team member. 

I walked away with a much better sense of direction and not feeling alone in my journey. Growing a team always felt scary to me, but now I am feeling more confident in making those future decisions.

I loved the "How to Grow a Dream Team" online class. It motivated me to change my approach and expectations for growing my team and their roles for my event and wedding planning business. Also, I feel that it helped me figure out a better balance of being a mom and boss.

Growing a team and your business is so intimidating but listening to Joy's experiences and tips made it so much more relatable and digestible.
