The $100 MBA Show MBA1570 Q&A Wednesday: Who should be my first hire?
Solo no mo’.
It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener who’s finally making enough revenue to double the size of their one-person team. The only problem? This soon-to-be-former solopreneur isn’t sure what position to fill.
What’s the priority?
Your first hire is a big investment (and commitment). It’s crucial to find someone that doesn’t just do a job, but maximizes the ROI of their salary — and frees you up to do more. So who can get the most off your plate? A marketer? Salesperson? Developer?
We know what our answer is.
Hear who we think a small business owner should hire first, in almost every case. There’s one position that — regardless of industry — usually has the biggest impact on an entrepreneur’s ability to keep the company growing.
Find out who it is, for our money anyway. Click Play!
