Is It Time To Hire A Team Member?
How do you know when it is time to hire a team member? Some people think this is a super complicated question! But I am here to simplify it so that you will be certain wether or not you are ready!
A common reason this question is often so complex to business owners is that there are many laws and rules that come into play once you hire a team member the traditional way. It can effect how your business is registered, how you pay your taxes, and how much you pay for your business insurance and the insurance and benefits for your new team member. It means that in oder to pay your team member a living wage you will have to pay an incredible amount in addition for taxes/insurance/benefits.
On top of that you want to be sure you are ready to take someone on! You might be feeling overworked, overwhelmed and maybe even stuck. This is usually what happens when your business is starting to take off and become more work than one person can handle. Or you are struggling to progress because you need help taking on the technical aspects of your business and need more time to focus on the entire reason you started your business in the first place. Do you resinate with those feelings mentioned?
If your answer was yes then I can honestly say you are more than ready to hire a team member! You deserve to get your time back so that you can focus on whats most important.
