To Hire or Not to Hire? (With Mike Michalowicz)

One of the worst decisions I made early on in my business?    Following this advice from a well-respected marketing guru:   "Don't hire anyone. Employees will make your life hell."   I trusted this person, so listening to them felt like the smart play.   And while it did keep things simple in some respects, it also kept my business small – and way more stressful than it needed to be.   When I eventually figured out that this was terrible advice (which took way longer than I'd like to admit), my business skyrocketed… and I started having a lot more fun in it too.   Of course, there's more nuance to this than just "hire a bunch of people."   Which is why I invited Mike Michalowicz – who literally wrote the book on building unstoppable teams – for this episode of Dare to Launch.   Whether you want to do more with your existing team, are thinking about hiring your first virtual assistant, or feel resistant to hiring anyone at all, there's a lot of gold in this conversation.   We also get into the best way to attract the right people to your company…   … why you should avoid job titles (and what to do instead)...   … and more!   Check it out now.   - - -  Dare to Launch Free Bonuses found at:  https://getyoulaunched.com  Want to launch or grow your business – faster?
