Scaling With Intention: How to Navigate Mentorship, Perfectionism & Delegation with Jenna Spencer | S2 E2

The Climb | A podcast for Women in Business | Presented by the Inner Mountain Foundation

If you’re dreaming of building a multi-million dollar business, we want you to know that it’s possible. It just takes a bit of mentorship, a few mindset shifts, lots of delegation, and of course, a healthy dose of self-care.

Today’s guest is Jenna Spencer, the Founder of and Visionary at AssistPro®, an agency that provides busy leaders with virtual executive assistants.

Jenna built this business as a mother of 3 and has since doubled her annual growth every single year. How does she do it (and stay sane through it all)? Join us to find out.

Mountains we’re climbing in this episode:

• How mentorship took Jenna from part-time assistant to entrepreneur/founder
• Advice on finding a mentor and building a mentor relationship
• Lessons learned from rapid, sustained business growth
• The importance of embracing change while growing and scaling a business
• Using AI to optimize business and employee efficiency
• How to change your mindset around delegation & start optimizing your time
• Tips for overcoming perfectionism
• The top two self-care activities Jenna can’t live without

Key Takeaways for Female Entrepreneurs Growing Their Business:

• Lots of different people can be your mentor, even if you’re not in a mentor relationship with them. You can always learn from others and apply their teachings. Don’t be afraid to ask people questions!
• When scaling your business, be prepared to learn as you go and become a different version of yourself. Remember, you ARE capable.
• Delegation could be the key that unlocks your business’s potential for growth. Get out of your own way and start delegating tasks so you can focus on what you do best.
• How much energy are you spending to get things perfect? Next time you’re feeling consumed by perfectionism, try slowing down and asking yourself: Is this good enough for right now? (Because you can always change it later!)

Reflection Question:

• What role models do you have who exemplify success? Why and how?
