Running your own business shouldn’t feel like a never-ending marathon. If you’re clocking 60-hour weeks and dreaming about hiring your first employee just to claw back some sanity, this episode is for you. Hi, I'm Mike Fox, host of this podcast, "Lone Wolf Unleashed." In this episode I'm tackling the not-so-glamorous reality of delegation—why just deciding “I’ll get someone in to handle my marketing” won’t cut it, and why human beings bring as much risk as reward. Forget wishful thinking: you’ll learn why setting up solid processes, documenting your tasks (with templates to shave off real hours), and mapping out a hiring strategy are essential before posting a job ad or starting interviews.Timestamped summary:00:00 Setting up a hiring process04:57 Delegating tasks in your business09:46 Crafting interview questions and contracts13:21 Delegating your first hireMentioned in this episode:This podcast is part of the Podknows Podcasting ICN NetworkYou might also like...Check out the "Websites Made Simple" podcast with Holly Christie at https://websitesmadesimple.co.uk/
