RR#079 The Hiring Conundrum: Your Questions Answered
I recently opened up the floor for an Ask Me Anything on LinkedIn to follow-up with video responses to your questions.
A recurring theme that came up was about hiring.
Should you consider bringing on a team?
Who should be your first hire—a VA, a salesperson, or another role?
And once you've made that decision, what are the steps to actually get them on board?
I hear these questions quite a bit. Especially from people selling services online, where each new sale means quite a bit more work.
The key is optimizing your time.
One strategy is to productize your services, which I elaborate on here.
Another approach is to audit your time to find tasks you can eliminate or automate, which I show you how to do here.
You can also audit your time and find the best things to eliminate, which I show you how to do here.
And, of course, you can start hiring and delegating tasks that don’t require your direct attention.
That’s what I have for you today: my answers to the top the questions around hiring, including when to consider it and how to get started.
If you have questions on this topic, or any other topic for that matter (productizing services, scaling content, selling your services, raising a family abroad, whatever…), reply to this email and send it over. I'll either address it in a future video or respond directly.
