Am I buying back my time, or just adding complexity?

Ask this question before your next hire...

Hiring too early doesn't free you up.   It buries you deeper.   Every founder hits that point where they feel overwhelmed and think:   "I just need to hire someone."   But here's the truth nobody tells you…   Hiring without a system doesn't solve your problems.   It multiplies them.   You don't just add payroll, you add opinions, meetings, and complexity.   You add a new person whose success now depends on you.   You think you're buying freedom.   What you're actually doing is outsourcing chaos.   I learned this the hard way.   We scaled fast, built a team, celebrated "growth"...   ...and then I found myself busier, more frustrated, and further from the work I loved than ever before.   Until I stopped treating hiring like a fix-all and started treating it like an extension of a system.   That's when we started making hires that actually created margin…   Not more meetings.   So before you post that next job description, ask yourself:   "Do I have the system in place to support this hire… or am I just desperate for relief?"   Because if you don't have a system, what you're building isn't a business…   It's a house of cards.   Before you hire your next employee, make sure your business won't break under the weight.   Grab the free hiring scorecard that shows how we hire top talent who drive our companies forward without adding complexity: https://scalable.co/tools/hiring-scorecard/    - Ryan The Scalable Company, 4330 Gaines Ranch Loop, Suite 120, Austin, TX 78748, +1 (737) 208-1716 Unsubscribe Manage preferences
