Scared to hire? Overcome your fear of hiring

I love hiring.

I have a formal background in hiring and team-building thanks to my Master’s Degree in Organizational and Human Resource Development and 4 years of corporate Human Resources and Recruiting experience.

And I have years of experience in hiring virtual team members for online business owners:

  • I've been hiring contractors for my own business since 2016

  • I've helped my clients hire new contractors and employees for their online business

  • I've supported my entrepreneur friends through figuring out who they need to hire, how to find the best candidates, how to onboard their team members, and how to be better managers and leaders

  • I worked as the Chief Operating Officer for my friend Mariah Coz and helped her build out her team of full-time employees

  • and now I coach my community and clients through hiring as well

What I've discovered is that it doesn't matter how successful your online business is... a lot of business owners still have the same fears and doubts when it comes to hiring.

I did a guest training in Mariah Coz's Accelerator program recently and multiple successful course creators all used the same phrase when it came to hiring...

"I am scared."

While the source of their fear was different for each individual, they all felt fear around hiring.

That's why I'm sharing how you can overcome your fear of hiring!

Have you ever felt afraid to hire?

  • Afraid to hire the wrong person?

  • Afraid to make a mistake?

  • Afraid you're not ready to hire?

  • Afraid your business is too messy to hire?

  • Afraid there's not enough work for someone to do?

  • Afraid you'll repeat a hiring mistake you made in the past?

  • Afraid you'll spend more time training than getting results from your new hire?

All of these fears are normal... but don't let them hold you back!

Because you can overcome these fears quickly.
