When you run your own services biz, hiring someone can seem like a big (and scary!) step, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you need a VA to get you out of your inbox or a billing subcontractor to ease the load of your client work, the principles of hiring and building a kickass team are the same. That’s why if you’ve ever found yourself ruminating over whether or not it’s the “right” time to hire, this episode is just what you need.  

In this episode, I’m getting into the nitty-gritty of hiring with Mandi Holmes, owner of She Can Coterie. Mandi has helped over 100 biz owners get started with outsourcing, and she shares her journey from being a one-woman show to becoming a jack of all trades and building her very own support squad.
