IBGR - RESULTS Radio Network. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow or exit a business. Come grow with us.

Introduction
At one juncture when your startup has started to grow you will need to hire talent and staff. Now some startups with funding and a larger budget start with a few employees and then from there they grow, but many new startups are run by solopreneurs, but there comes a time when you alone cannot do everything and you shouldn’t as I have said before you need to come out of starting to work in your business to start working on your business. 

At this time it becomes very important to hire the right talent who can catapult your startup to another level or levels, but then many times it is really hard for a solopreneur to hire as they are so used to doing everything by themselves or in a small team. But understand to grow you will need to hire and get a team of like minded people with varied talents.
