Over the last few weeks we've been talking about some of the challenges of growing your business and that generated some questions about where you should start, if you need to hire support. We talk about this all the time in the Starship, so I wanted to share what I tell my clients. In this episode, we'll walk through your options, the exact support I get in my business, and the 7 steps to hiring your first help.
