Do you have a need for a team? Are you scared to scale, expand, and outsource certain aspects of your business? In this episode, Airial hits Scott hard with questions about his Podcast Bay Productions team especially the financial aspect. She states, a lot of entrepreneurs barely make enough (starting out) to cover their business expenses and their household bills. How can they afford the responsibility of someone else’s income and financial burdens as well?
