Ep 16 - Why (and How) to Hire Someone ASAP

<p>If you are a entrepreneur and thinking to yourself… I really want to expand, and I probably know I should hire someone, but I can’t seem to pull the trigger - this episode is for you. Here are my TOP FIVE tips on hiring someone ASAP to really expand your business!</p> <p><u><strong>Tip 1: Analyze your time. What brings you joy and/or is high vibe?</strong></u></p> <ul> <li>Step 1 - Spend the next two weeks writing down all of the things you ACTUALLY did. You can log it in your calendar, like I do!</li> <li>Step 2 - Write, in your journal, how you felt after each activity. Did you feel invigorated? Motivated? Or did a specific task create stress and anxiety in your life? What made you feel like you were in a really high vibrational state?</li> </ul> <p><strong>Whatever doesn’t feel high vibe, I give you permission to actually delegate it.</strong></p> <p>But of course, be honest with yourself. There’s a difference between low vibe work, and work that is high vibe, but might make you uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable but GROWING isn’t low vibe. If you’re uncomfortable, like you have that nervous energy, and you do something and feel great afterward, that’s high vibe. So while I give you permission to delegate ANYTHING you want, make sure you know what’s high vibe and what’s low vibe</p> <p><u><strong>Tip 2: Before hiring someone, be clear on your to dos</strong></u></p> <ul> <li>Before you hire someone (and as part of the first part of this exercise) -- you need to be crystal clear on what your highest value add activities. What are the few things you do exceptionally well? Where does your skillset lie? What talents, knowledge, or ideas do you have?</li> </ul> <p><u><strong>Tip 3: Calculate your hourly rate:</strong></u></p> <ul> <li>How many weeks per year do you want to work? 50 weeks? 44 weeks?</li> <li>For me, I want to work 10 months (basically take 2 months off), and I work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day (but you can cut this back to whatever you want)</li> <li>44 weeks X 40 hours per week = 1,760
