Who Was Your First Hire?
I’ll never forget mine! My first hire was a foreman. I needed someone who could run the job while I focused on running and growing the business. That was the moment it stopped being just me and started becoming something bigger. Scary? Of course. Exciting? Absolutely.
That first hire teaches you the hard stuff. How to train. How to lead. How to TRUST someone with your name and your clients. You don’t always get it right, but that’s how you grow.
What I learned:
- Hire sooner than you think you’re ready
- Character beats skill every time
- Being a boss is a completely different trade than doing the work
So let me ask you… who was your first hire, and what did they teach you?
