Someone sent me an article about how to run a web design business remotely. And the person who wrote the article shared 6 key things to keep in mind if you think that’s something you’d like to do. Of course, those kinds of things are pretty much true for other business categories. And I thought one of the bullet points was particularly relevant to what I’ll be talking about in next month’s UNversity lesson.
And this is one of the key things to know when you expand.
You might think you’ll never want to own and run a business that’s too big for you handle all alone. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I know a couple of people who do VERY well for themselves with that business model. But, just in case you think you might like to grow something way bigger, you’ll have to hire people eventually.
And that’s one of those key things so many business owners don’t do so well. Here’s a snippet, from that article I read, that includes some helpful tips.
“Find self-motivated people who are team players and can thrive in a remote work environment. And that requires the establishment of an effective remote hiring procedure. It’s crucial to implement a recruiting strategy that enables you to find and pick the best talent for your remote team. Because the success of any organization depends on having the right people in place.
Start by using internet resources like Flexjobs, Upwork, WeWorkRemotely, and AngelList Jobs to find suitable remote employees. And those are people with the talents you need. Additionally, think about publicizing your remote job positions on well-known job search websites like Indeed. And professional networking websites like LinkedIn.
Before you choose a candidate for a remote role, it’s crucial to carefully investigate their work history. Carefully investigate their prior positions and duties. And pay attention to the endorsements, assessments, and rankings made by their most recent customers or employers.”
Those are some very good pointers.
But even after you do ALL that, you can still hire someone and have problems. Because then you gotta train them. Maybe you don’t have to train them for the skills you hired them to use. But they’ll still need to know how to get around in your business. And they’ll need to know what’s required. And a variety of other key points.
There are ways to get that done that don’t make the best use of your time. Or your newbie’s time. And there are ways that can save you a ton of time and headaches.
And making the best use of your time is one of my super powers. Matter of fact, I’ve used my super powers to help business owners and entrepreneurs build 6 and 7 figures businesses. Lots of them. And one of the ways I do that is to help them with their hiring and firing procedures.
That’s the subject of next month’s UNversity lesson.
