Entrepreneur Tips: Hiring Your First Employee

Excerpt from Tresta Inc.

We recently tuned into an episode of Brave + Boss, hosted by Kristi Soomer, and she offered some great advice on just this topic. Soomer started her ethical fashion brand, Encircled, out of her own condo. She was a solopreneur for a good stretch, but eventually found that in order to optimize growth, she needed to optimize her own use of time. She didn’t even pay herself for the first two and a half years of her business, and her only regret during that time is that she took so long to start hiring.
