The Art Of Entrepreneurship

When is it time to start hiring employees?


Listen Later

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.  

Episode Highlights:

01:05 Hiring employees seems like a natural step when you’re growing a business but it doesn’t always have to be. 

04:07 If you think expanding your team is the right way to go and you have the desire to be a manager, then you should consider whether you should hire employees or contractors.

07:29 I decided it was time to start hiring employees because I wanted people that were fully committed to the mission. 

08:12 If you want to hire a team, you have to be prepared to spend less time doing the thing that you love.
