The first employee
When should you have your first employee?
Although it seems like a trivial question, many people hurry to hire their first employee because they want to give themselves more free time.
Do not rush!
Instead of thinking about your free time, you better think about a powerful strategy that will allow you to do this.
Tips for hiring
- Do not mix friendship and family with business.
In most cases, bonds can affect your business judgment.
- Listen to your instinct!
A connection, a vibe, and an attitude mean more than skills. I tell you from my own experience that the people I hired based on instinct were better than those chosen only based on skills.
- Don't hire anyone out of pity!
Be as professional as possible in this chapter. You have a lot of alternatives through which you can help people from your earnings.
- Hire late - Fire soon!
The trial period is substantial to get to know the employee better. The longer the trial period, the more quality employees you get.
- Short contract
For example, in Germany, many companies create contracts for only six months. This strategy helps you see the employee's intentions.
Remember!
Your goal is your business, not the employee!
