Short advice segment from Lori Harder on hiring: recommends hiring freelancers or contractors first to reduce risk, bringing people in at lower commitment, allowing time to assess fit, and emphasizing that team synergy and culture—not a single hire—drive business change.
Freelancers are so important especially the first few years to like sign all these contracts to bring someone in full time it's a lot of risk Think about even in relationships you can't even really figure out who someone is or if you'll be compatible for I mean sometimes like a year it's the same with employees like you can't really feel if you're fully, fully a match until you begin working together Bring them in lower first and then let it play out like give it some time being new I fully understand feeling a bit desperate and like you need these people and oh my gosh they're going to be the person to change everything no you have to let that go no one's going to come in and completely transform your business like that just it doesn't happen it's synergistic like everyone has to flow and get along and the culture like it's not one person's going to change everything Yes.
