Why Experience Pays for Itself in Coaching, Hiring, and Scaling

In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most important principles that changed the trajectory of my business and life: nothing beats experience. I share why trying to figure it all out on your own is actually the slowest and most expensive route you can take—and how paying for expertise through a coach, consultant, or the right hire can collapse time, save energy, and accelerate results.

👉 Things I Cover in This Episode:

• Why “buying back time” through experience is the smartest investment you can make
• The costly mistake of going cheap with hiring (and how it keeps entrepreneurs stuck)
• My 4-step framework for betting on experience: Decide, Invest, Implement, Accelerate
• How I personally applied this in my own business by hiring a coach who helped me simplify and scale
• The difference between knowledge and implementation—and why the latter is the real game-changer

If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels, stuck in trial-and-error, or frustrated with slow progress, this episode is your shortcut.

 Ask yourself: What’s one bold investment I can make in myself or my team today that will speed up my growth? When you find your answer, I’d love to hear it—share this episode with a friend, tag me @itsraquelq on IG, and let’s celebrate your next big move together. And if you’re ready to collapse time and scale with speed, head over to letsplaybigger.com or DM me the words AgentCEO to explore coaching.
