In this week's episode, I dive into the rollercoaster ride of running a business, starting with a shocking start to the week. I hired Jamie, who signed a contract a month ago, only to find out he was still job hunting and left me hanging. With recruiting halted and plans disrupted, I had to pivot quickly.
Monday brought another blow when Rory, my key field employee, expressed doubts about staying, reducing his commitment from 95% to 90% and extending his planned leave. With bad weather and housing challenges in Perth, his outlook soured. However, he bounced back strong, breaking his performance record and giving me hope.

Despite these setbacks, logistics have been tough, especially without reliable public transport. Fortunately, a close friend offered to help with transportation, easing the burden and allowing me to focus on growth.

Reflecting on the situation, I considered shifting to the American solar market, drawn by its potential and low saturation. But I realised the importance of a stable foundation here before expanding.
Thankfully, Jerry’s excellent performance in operations has been a bright spot. I contemplated scaling down to a leaner model but decided to stay the course. Rory's continued success and my own sales are promising signs.

Tune in to hear about the ups and downs of building a team, managing challenges, and making strategic decisions for the future. It's a journey of resilience, adaptation, and optimism.
