"Your financials are trying to tell you a story. It's your job as a business owner to listen to that story." - Danielle Hayden.
When it comes to trying to decide if it's the right time to hire a team member, do you know if you're in the right financial place? This is a question that stops many business owners from hiring. And that's not because the answer is no. It's because they assume the answer is no and never spend the time to uncover the real answer.
In this episode of the Growing Your Team podcast, Danielle Hayden shares how knowing your numbers will help you make the right hiring decisions in your small business.
