Hiring someone can make your business more joyful, more profitable, more easy to run. And sometimes it can soak your profit without creating any extra revenue. And the advice so often is to hire before you're ready - but what does that even mean? How do you know when you're almost ready (and therefore ready)?! This episode looks at six signs you might need to hire someone and three reasons why you should hold off.
Key Points:
- Something essential is slipping (2:12)
- A defined set of responsibilities have evolved (3:08)
- You hate it or can't do it (4:39)
- You're overwhelmed (6:06)
- You're turning away or not going after new business (7:22)
- Your long-term plan does not involve day-to-day management (8:48)
- 3 Reasons not to hire (10:08)

8 Trends to Use for an Amazing 2023
A look ahead at 2023 - the trends and ideas that you need to consider when it comes to creating your reputation and your content. Although, to be honest, I don't consider all of these to be "trends" that will pass, many of these concepts should be mainstays of your business practise, no matter how big or small you are. Each concept is followed by steps you can take to incorporate the concept with a minimum of fuss.
Key Points:
- Keep it Short and Simple (2:38)
- Use Audio and Video (3:56)
- Privacy: This is not a trend! (5:40)
- Artificial Intelligence: Algorithms, Notion, Chatbots (6:50)
- Influencers (10:37)
- Personalization (12:21)
- Exclusivity (14:06)
- Accessibility (16:47)
- Bonus: Consistency (18:50)

Key Points:
- What is Content? (2:30)
- What is a Reputation? (4:14)
- How do you use Content to Create and Manage Your Reputation? (5:47)
