Your first hire will always be the hardest. It’s kind of like having a baby. 

 

Imagine this - You just returned from a much-deserved 2 week holiday with your favorite person or people and while you were away any one(or perhaps all) of these things happened…

• You have a new client consultation on the calendar with a fully-vetted client. 
• You’ve received the as-built drawings and site photos from a brand new project you are kicking off. 
• Drawings for a new kitchen renovation are nearly complete and fully-detailed for next week’s presentation. 
• The ordering is complete for a project you recently presented to a client
• A light fixture arrived to the warehouse damaged, but a replacement is already in route.  

 

Sounds pretty good yeah?  I’m here to tell you that this level of support, and growth is totally doable. I’ll share the ins and outs of hiring in your business in today’s episode.

 

In this episode we answer questions like…

1. How do you even get started in making your first hire?
