Contractor or not - EVERY employer should listen!

Even though I've been an employer for 30+ years, I STILL encountered a wide variety of new ideas and valuable lessons from Dr. Sabrina...

Over the years I've made every mistake an employer can make! AND I would have saved myself so much time, money, worry, guilt and stress if I'd had access to this book MANY years ago.

She repeats some concepts several times - but in a variety of ways. I found that I valued the repetition because it clarified and drove home the specific principles and actions I needed to retain and apply.

Listening provided a great initial overview while I was driving and taking care of other tasks. However, I will also purchase a copy of the physical book so that I can highlight and extract various procedures to implement within my company's hiring and employment process.

Employment headaches can turn into the worst form of torture. Do yourself a favor and use this book to learn how to avoid the "employment traps" that plague so many entrepreneurial companies!

Really great content even for experienced employer

I listen The Profit by Design podcast so I guess I thought o knew this material. Not even close. There is so much more here!

In my business we have plenty of clients, the real competitive advantage is getting quality people. Dr. Starling delivered. A+. Highly recommended. Going to listen again with a notepad handy.

Useful information. Not my preferred presentation

The book has useful content but requires follow-up to the website and other resources "for more information." This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it isn't my preference. Lastly, the book only has 4 chapters, and none of them are named, which makes the book feel like it is 1 long chapter. I prefer when the author has a topical approach to a subject (named chapters) to break up the content and have a deeper dive into the chapter topic. With all of that being said, I don't regret listening to it.

buy my course

I like the book, there are a lot of great ideas. the issue I have is the author just gives us a tease. if you want the full experience you need to buy her course. that's a bit disingenuous in my opinion.
