Is your business stagnating because you aren’t hiring the help you need? Are you unsure what’s stopping you from hiring? I see so many small business owners wait way too long to hire their first employee or grow their team. They know they need help but they just don’t make it happen.
So what’s the issue? What’s really stopping you from hiring?
I’ve been there — knowing I need help but not ready to take the next step. And even when I did start hiring, I made mistakes along the way. But I survived and gained hard-won knowledge about how to do things better. I’ve also worked with these same issues with my clients, so today, I’m sharing those details with you.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why small business owners, especially women, resist delegating to others (yeah, it’s the patriarchy)
- Why it’s counterproductive to take on too much personal responsibility
- How to prioritize your mental health and set good boundaries
- Overcoming the financial fears of investing in your business
- How to stay compliant as a solopreneur (if that’s what you want)
It’s so easy to fall into The Hiring Cycle of Stuck: you’re afraid to hire because it will cost money, but you can’t grow your business without hiring more team members.
Waiting too long can harm your business and impact your mental health.
Fortunately, you can escape that cycle and overcome the fears and doubts that are stopping you from hiring. Tune in for advice, encouragement, and practical tips. Read more about how to set a realistic hiring timeline here.
