E. 297: Think You Need a Team? Listen to This First.

Written By Pia Silva

At some point, you look at your workload and think: “I just need help.” 

Here’s the truth most people won’t tell you: Hiring employees doesn’t automatically give you more freedom or more profit. In fact, if you don’t fully understand the business model you’re stepping into, it can do the exact opposite.

No one business model is right for everyone and every business model has its benefits and drawbacks. I’ve seen way too many small business owners dip their toes into a bunch of different business models without really thinking through what it entails or why they’re doing it. 

Over the years, I’ve run my business following three different business models. So this month, I’m going to break those models down and get really candid about the pros and cons, to help you make an informed choice about a model that fits your business and your goals.

In this episode, I discuss the employee model.
