Kimberly Olson:
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of The Goal Digger Girl. I'm so excited to be on today with you because I brought one of my new girlfriends, Sarah Torres-Ferrick. And she is going to blow your mind with the information and content she's going to share today, because I know a lot of you've been asking me the question about how to expand, how to hire, how to get some support in your business. And we're going to talk all about that and more, so welcome on Sarah. So excited to have you.

Sarah Torres-Ferrick:
Oh, thanks. I'm so excited to be here.

Kimberly Olson:
Yay. Okay, girl, so a lot of them are probably new to you. So I would love for you to bring them up to speed. Can you share with us a little bit about you who you are and what got you into the industry that you're in now?

Sarah Torres-Ferrick:
All right. So I'm a mom of two and I am an HR lady. I got into HR because I graduated with a Philosophy degree, and I'm still trying to figure out how you can do make money philosophizing. My dad was in HR, so I got an HR internship, but that was about eleven years ago. My first kind of introduction to entrepreneurship, small business was my husband. We've had a business where he's the face of the business, and I do the back end in baseball and softball instruction. And then it was about, oh, I guess two or three years ago that I kind of had that aha moment about, Hey, I don't have to just help all these small businesses with their HR. That's actually a business and everything I wasn't loving about my big job I could get from helping small businesses. So now I really focus on helping small businesses tackle kind of all that HR stuff, all that stuff about dealing with people and making sure your business is protected when you make that transition.

Kimberly Olson:
That's awesome. And I love it because you are already naturally like innovative and entrepreneurial minded because with the time of this recording, we're still in quarantine. And so many people are in brick and mortar situations or aren't online and \what you did is you just said, "okay, I'm not loving this. So how can I make this into a business?". And I feel like really anything that you guys do, like if you're nine to five or you're working, there's so many unique ways that you can make money with that. So I commend you. I think that's awesome. And what's your outlet or format for that? Do you do coaching? Do you do private clients? I know you have a podcast leading your team. I think I follow you on Instagram as well. How are you primarily helping people? Like how do you connect with your clients?

Sarah Torres-Ferrick:
So it's started doing a lot of one-on-one stuff. And right now we're in transition to kind of doing that one-to-many.  So doing more templates, like we just launched an employee handbook template and we're starting up doing some coaches, sorry, some courses.
