You're stretched thin and the thought becomes impossible to ignore: I need to hire help.

Before you post that job description, ask yourself one question: if you handed your business to someone else tomorrow, could they run it?

If the answer is no, that's not a staffing problem. It's a documentation and design problem.

Maybe something broke down. Maybe nothing broke at all, and you just know there's a cleaner way to operate.

Either way, you went looking for a fix in the form of a new tool. And it helped. Until it didn't.

The software was never the problem.

Running your business feels harder as it grows? It’s a symptom, not a personal failure. Learn why systems, not effort, become the bottleneck in early growth.
