128: My $6K Hiring Mistake | Lessons I Learned the Hard Way So You Don’t Have to

Listen on Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Android | Google 

Last week, I talked about how I hear from clients all the time that they’re scared to build a team. They’re scared to hire the wrong person, hurt their relationship with clients as a result, and have to go through the firing process. Well, I just went through all of this myself, and I’m spilling the details in this episode. I’m talking about what led to the hire, why trusting your instincts will always serve you well, not letting mistakes in your business define you, and how this is impacting my team structure moving forward. My hope is that my story will show you that mistakes happen, but you have what it takes to bounce back stronger than ever.
