48 | Hiring Too Early vs. Too Late — How to Actually Know
Everyone knows they need systems and structure. It's usually the one thing they think they can keep pushing into the future — until they realize they can't, not if they want real traction or real growth. Hiring runs into the exact same trap.
This week: a quick update on a shift in my own marketing — moving from trying to be everywhere myself into contributing to bundles and summits (and a spring bundle of my own I'm genuinely excited about) — and then the real topic: why most small business owners hire too early, what hiring too late costs instead, and the actual signal that tells you which window you're in.
In this episode:
Why I'm shifting my own marketing toward bundles and summits, and my own event coming next spring
A heads-up that this show is moving into seasons too — expect the occasional skip week or guest episode, especially during Q4
Why most small business owners hire too early — and what that actually looks like
The opposite failure: hiring too late, and what it costs
The real signal for knowing when you're actually ready (hint: it's not how busy you feel)
