What Role Should You Hire First? | Episode 030

This is a question we struggled with for the first couple of years of our business. Initially, we thought we wanted our first hire to be someone that would be good at performing the services we weren't adept at ourselves. We figured this would help grow the business as we could sell those services and then offload the work to them.However, we soon realized that the best thing to do would be to hire someone that gave us our time back. But we f***ed that up too.In this episode, we reflect on who the right person to hire is for your very first employee (or maybe your first contractor or outsourced work).Picking the first role you fill is the most important thing you can do while growing your business to the point where you can exit the day-to-day and work on the business rather than in the business.----------------------------------Our recommended agency tools:everbrospodcast.com/recommended-tools/ (everbrospodcast.com/recommended-tools/)----------------------------------⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐As always, if you enjoyed this episode or this podcast in general and want to leave us a review or rating, head over to Apple and let us know what you like!
