Hiring your first employee is a major milestone, one that can accelerate your growth or quietly derail your momentum. While founders often focus on the obvious goal of offloading work to someone else, the real challenge lies in what you don’t see coming or the amount of time required from you as a new employer. So...how do you avoid that trap and scale with intention?

This webinar offers insight from both the employer and employee perspectives, revealing the critical — and often overlooked — aspects of hiring your first team member and how your level of preparation (or lack thereof) directly impacts them. It also provides a practical framework for founders just starting their business that will help build a solid foundation early and avoid disruptive changes down the road.
