In this episode of Big Questions, Short Answers, I’m answering one question with three questions—and they’re all about hiring. Hiring is typically considered one of those milestones that signals a company’s growth, but entrepreneurs need to carefully evaluate whether it’s actually time to hire (or if they even need to at all).
Hiring an employee is a big decision that impacts everyone involved. So before you start, ask yourself: Do I actually want to hire? Do I need to hire an employee, or could a contractor do this work? Could I still scale without hiring?
We’re tackling a lot of questions in this episode, but they’ll prompt you to dig deeper into why you want to hire so you can make the right decision for your business.
