Episode 68. Is it time to hire? 3 questions you need to ask yourself

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.
