You’re Hiring in the Wrong Order (Here’s Who to Hire First)

Description

Most business owners hire in the wrong order.

The instinct is to hire more people to sell, market, or deliver your service. But what if that’s actually slowing your business down?

In this solo episode, Emma explains why the smartest first hire isn’t someone who generates revenue directly, it’s the person who removes you as the bottleneck.

She shares the three questions every business owner should ask before making their next hire, how to calculate the true value of your time, and why buying back your time creates more growth than simply adding more people.

If you’re feeling busy but your business still relies on you for everything, this episode will help you rethink your next hire and start building a business that can truly scale.
