Ep 36: How to Hire Your First (or Next) Employee

The Aligned Female Entrepreneur

In today's episode, we are talking about how to hire your first or next employee.________________

I heard that going from zero employees to one is just as difficult as going from 1 to 20.

I find this to be true.

I had so much resistance around hiring somebody in my business.

• Would I have enough money to pay them?
• What if they think I'm a fraud once they see how messy my business is behind the scenes?
• What if I don't know what to say, or what to have them do?
• What if I don't know where all my passwords are?
• What if I'm not established enough?
• Who do I think I am to have an assistant or a team? I'm just getting started...

But I can tell you that the year I hired my first employee was the same year that my business TRIPLED.

In our hustle culture, it sounds really convincing when the ego tells us that we can “do it all ourselves.”

That we are the only ones who can do our business and the way that we do it that we're the best, most qualified or the only ones who can ensure our success.

But the truth is, it's when you are able to grow your business beyond yourself, when you're held accountable to someone or to something bigger than how you're feeling that day, when you push yourself to organize yourself enough to teach somebody how it's done. You're able to expand your capacity tenfold.
