In this episode of the Growing Your Team podcast, we’re talking about not hiring.
Wait! Hold up a minute! Are we really talking about not hiring on a podcast designed to help small businesses find and manage their ideal team members?
Yes, we are.
Why? Because sometimes hiring is not the right move – even though you feel overwhelmed. 
Brandi Mowles is an expert on growing online service-based businesses to 10K without hiring, and today she’s sharing her tips on how you can do the same.

(8:35) Why it’s smart to give up on vanity metrics and move your focus to revenue-driven metrics. (10:54) It’s all about the money!
