Every business owner makes a mistake at some point in their entrepreneurial journey. Sometimes, these mistakes are small and easy to fix, but sometimes they can be very costly. One of the most common – and most expensive – mistakes that many new entrepreneurs make is hiring the wrong person on their team.
I am an experienced businesswoman and I have been running businesses since 2004. So, I have extensive experience with hiring the right people.
But, I am also human. Sometimes, I make mistakes.
In this episode, I share how making a mistake by hiring the wrong person cost me $50,000 and took a year to fix. I explain how messy books eventually led to sounding an alarm to my local tax authorities, how I finally realized I hired the wrong bookkeeper for my business, and the steps I took to fix the problem. I also explain the importance of basing your hiring decisions on the person’s qualifications and skill instead of your budget.
