Myth: Hiring will only dig into my profits and make me spend more time managing someone.

Fact: If you're doing everything right, you can't make more money by yourself. You can't shut off the phones while you're out meeting a client. You can't send invoices while you're baking cupcakes for your son's class.  You have the power to hire someone who is trainable, independent, and a self-starter.  By spending a little time understanding why, who and how to hire, you'll find someone who's passionate about your mission and invested in your company's success!
