Short YouTube clip from Real Estate Team OS (episode clip titled "Growing pains - when to hire 💸") offering advice on when to hire: founders should monitor where 'the pain' or bottlenecks are, prioritize the highest-impact area to focus on, and defer less-pressing areas until later. The clip ends with a pointer to episode 40 featuring Dan Corkill of Follow Up Boss for more detail.
As a team leader or an ops leader, you're constantly wondering which position to hire next and whether now is the right time to do it. Here's some advice from one entrepreneur to another.
When we're getting started, we just really, like, waited to see where the pain was, you know, like, oh, like, great, I'm spending all day, like, you know, setting up customers, and it's like, okay, that's a valuable activity, but there's a lot of other things I need to be doing. I do think that's one of the jobs of, like, the business owner and entrepreneur is like, where do you focus in the business right now? So it's like things are running and there's no way, like, really any probably, like department or area is running at like 100% as amazing as it can be. So you're kind of spinning these plates. And I think it is a bit of a choice, like, where do you focus? But I think mostly where the pain is. If something's going, okay, maybe leave that alone for now and like, focus for this thing. That could be a lot better.
