One of the biggest decisions you will have to make for your business is whether you would like to be a solopreneur or have a team. Believe it or not, you may make more income as a one-person show. A big misconception is that hiring a team removes the work. In actuality, when you hire someone, you are simply changing the work. As the leader, you are still in charge of overseeing what each member of your team is doing, providing feedback, and managing the entire process. I've had the privilege of building up my own business and I've learned a few things along the way. Today, I'm going to share with you the things that I believe you should consider when you're hiring, how to grow a team with internal + external hires, how to find new talent, what my own personal interview process is, what skills you need to effectively work with a team, and the value of leadership.
