Episode 35
When is it time to start hiring employees?
Happy Monday, everyone! In this episode of Big Questions, Short Answers, we are talking about expanding your company by hiring employees. Hiring employees seems like a natural next step when you’re growing a business, but it doesn’t always have to be. Most people don’t think hard enough about what it actually takes to hire, manage, retain, and grow a team.
Tune in as I share with you the process I went through when I realized I needed to hire employees for my business. I’ll also weigh the pros and cons of being a solopreneur, and whether an employee or a contractor is the better hire.
At the end of this episode, we are going to discuss the changes you’ll experience once you hire employees to help you with your business. When you start hiring, you’ll be spending your time differently than before—but when done correctly, this can be a huge benefit.
