Spring is a time to freshen up your hiring and onboarding processes so you can uplevel your future team!

Many small business owners wait to grow their teams because the thought of hiring and training new people is overwhelming. Honestly, I understand that fear. Writing a winning job ad, weeding through dozens (or hundreds) applicants, and hoping that you pick the right candidate is not something that most business owners want to spend hours doing. And once you find your new hire, how do you go about onboarding them successfully?

Are you a solopreneur (or newly just beyond the solopreneur phase) who is looking for ways to grow to the next level? You’re not alone – statistics show that approximately 41 million Americans are currently at this level. Some like where they are, and some are ready to uplevel; whether they will be successful depends on their planning, strategy, and systems.

In 2019, the Small Business Administration identified 50.7 million companies as “small businesses,” employing up to 499 people. 81% of those, however, were taking on running their businesses completely solo.
