TMBA 444: When Should I Hire?
Podcast 55:55| Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
Dan and Ian are back this week to respond to another listener question.
Chris Cage from GreenbellyBar.com recently reached out to us with a problem that many listeners of this show have been struggling with: when is it the right time to hire somebody?
This is a moment in the entrepreneurial journey that every entrepreneur will eventually reach, and it isn't always easy to make the right decision. Hiring can be expensive, from both a financial perspective and an emotional one.
Fortunately, Dan and Ian have a rich history of hiring experiences, both good and bad. On today's show, they will be opening up about the mistakes they've made, as well as the successes they have had when bringing people on to their team.
