My First Hire, VA or Contractor?

You don't have to do it all alone and the moment you stop trying to, everything changes.  In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my very first hire, a contractor named Ashley, who I found not through a job board, but through a relationship built on an audio app during the lockdown. I'm breaking down the real difference between hiring a VA and a contractor, what I got wrong, and the exact mindset shift you need around investing in people. You will never feel ready. Not for your first hire, not for your tenth. But readiness isn't the signal. The moment your time is being eaten up by tasks that don't require you, that's your sign. Take your notes and let's build the team that takes you there. Tune in this episode of the Sugar Mommy podcast: My First Hire, VA or Contractor? I'm Kareen Mills. I watched my mother struggle as an entrepreneur, so I made it my life's mission to help women and entrepreneurs just like her. I thought becoming a Bank VP was the answer, only to discover my mother's story was repeating in brilliant, hardworking, ambitious women. As a former Bank VP, I now use my insider knowledge in finance and business to help women become bankable, visible, and unforgettable.
