How I hire new people (use this)

Most of yesterday, I was working with a new client.

I’m bringing in a new team member to help with part of the fulfillment too.

She’s a content creator who specializes in their niche.

There have been a few hiccups so far.

Otherwise, it’s smooth sailing for a new retainer.

Even with the work not being exactly how we want it right out of the gate, it’s still better than what I could do alone.

It’s a good reminder that we can’t be pros at everything.

The ability to quickly hire, train, and get new people into your workflow is essential as a business owner.

I like to hire people with the intention that they are pros.

I’ll let them make mistakes for a while.

Observe them while they are getting their footing.

Then nudge them in the right direction slowly in that first week or two.

No insane pressure.

No fear-based management.

Even if they aren’t perfect, that freedom gives them confidence.

That confidence then translates into good work over time.

Hope you’re doing the same with your team.
