Yesterday we talked about the actual value of your time. If you missed it, be sure to check it out.

We talked about the actual value of your time, not the theoretical value. Today, I want to use that knowledge to talk about hiring your first employee.

What I see a lot of people getting wrong with their first hire is waiting until they can justify that hire. I did the same thing.

Right now, we have eight full-time people at seanwes, but with my first business, I only hired one person.

I thought of this person as someone who I had to justify bringing on when they were able to make enough money for me to pay their salary.

Instead, I should have seen employees as a way to free up my time.
