238: How to Prepare Your Business for Hiring Before You Actually Need Help

As a Black entrepreneur, you wear many hats. You’re the CEO, the marketer, the customer service rep, the accountant, and everything in between. But at some point, doing everything yourself will slow your business down, limit your growth, and lead to burnout. The truth is, many entrepreneurs wait too long to hire help, and by the time they do, they’re drowning in work with no clear process to onboard someone effectively. That’s why preparing for hiring before you actually need help is critical.

We understand that hiring can feel overwhelming. You might wonder where to start, what tasks to delegate, or how to find the right person. But the key to making hiring smooth and stress-free is having systems in place beforehand. In this episode, we’re breaking down exactly what you need to document, which tasks you should offload first, and how to set your business up so that when the time comes, bringing someone on feels seamless instead of chaotic.
