EP 268: 3 Signs It’s Time to Hire

If you’re reading this there’s likely one thing you know for sure, it’s that you’re burning the candle at both ends, or you’re awfully close to it. 

But the one thing you may not know is whether now is a good time to hire and bring on help so you can ease the load you’re carrying in your business. 

I get it, hiring in your spa can often feel like walking a tightrope as you need to strike a careful balance to ensure that you’re in the right place to bring on a new hire while also not waiting until it’s so late in the game that hiring feels more like a burden than a relief. 

While my overall goal for all my Spa Marketing Made Easy listeners is to help you get your dream team on board sooner rather than later, in this episode, I want to help you pinpoint your timing so that you can grow with the smoothest trajectory possible. 

And before you listen, a quick reminder… 

You’re right on time and exactly in the right place for your unique journey. 

All that we can do as business owners is make decisions that affect our present and set us up for the future success we desire. Looking to the past is helpful for lessons learned, but not beating ourselves up over the “could of, should of, would ofs.”

Seek to make the decisions and take the steps now as if you were already the Spa CEO you envision yourself becoming and growing into, and you’ll find that your timing will work itself out exactly as it’s supposed to. 

Now, let’s listen in as we talk about how to identify those tell-tale signs that it’s time to hire and make the decisions that will help you grow to the next level with the right support by your side. 

In this episode, I discuss: 

•  The first and more important thing you need to get clear on before embarking on building your team
• Three clear-cut signs that it’s time to bring on help into your business 
• The financial breakdown of what’s possible when you begin to build out your team vs. what you can earn as a solo
• My tips for Spa CEOs who are looking to bring on more admin support and my go-to exercise for determining what you can get off your plate 
• How to think big-picture and long-term to see how hiring plays into your bigger vision
