Your business is growing steadily. But you’re stressed because you can’t handle the workload… and you’re hesitant to hire someone. My guest this week, Freeeup.com founder Nathan Hirsch, specializes in helping entrepreneurs find the right team to take their company to the next level. Nathan is also the founder of Ecombalance.com which is a monthly bookkeeping service for Ecommerce Sellers/agencies and OutsourceSchool.com where he teaches his hiring processes.
