Ryan Deiss on hiring when you're bootstrapped: bring on people who pay for themselves, not people who cost you money. If a hire isn't accretive, you'll need to let them go.
So where you are right now is the classic chicken and egg situation, where you're saying, I need another person and I can't afford them today. And that's called business. And I don't say that to diminish the question or to be pejorative in any sense. I say that so that you know that you're not doing anything wrong and you're not broken. This is just this is the stage, this is the season. And you're at a point now where you you're going to need to start hiring people before you need them, and you're going to have to ask those people to be accretive, meaning they should pay for themselves. And if they don't, you're probably going to need to release them to the market place, which, as someone who has experience in HR and career stuff, I think you know what I'm talking about.
