#118: Why your first hire can feel harder than childbirth (and yes I've done both more than once)

I know it sounds dramatic… but I've given birth more than once, and I still stand by this take. 😅 Your first hire can feel absolutely terrifying. The pressure. The responsibility. The "what if I mess this up and ruin everything?" spiral at 2 a.m. In this episode, I'm breaking down why hiring your first employee feels so emotional, so heavy, and so personal, and why nothing is actually wrong with you if it feels harder than you expected. If you're hovering in that "I know I need help but I'm scared to pull the trigger" phase, this conversation will make you feel seen, understood, and way more confident about your next step.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ
