How to Hire a Marketing Employee for Small Businesses?
MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA SCALINGI'm planning to hire a full-time, marketing employee. I'm thinking of sharing my thought process, with the hope that the thread becomes a living guide to others so we can learn from each other and everyone gets to learn from any mistakes I make.

HOT! CHATInternal work has been the biggest thing. The more I work on becoming a better person, then more I can sympathize with them and work on getting us on the same team. There's also specific advice like hire as slow as you need to because you'll regret rushing to hire somebody and they turn out to...- machinistguy

Is Passive Income Less Attainable Than Before?
QUESTIONI've always been fascinated by books as a business. Most authors are artist-dreamer types who are all about themselves and not the customer.

HOT! CHATWhat about an employee who's both? My operations manager is so phenomenal in so many ways until it gets to the part where he isn't lol. I do blame myself. I think I trained him to pass the big problems to me instead of showing him how to handle them himself. He's just not naturally wired to...- machinistguy

HOT! CHATAlmost there! Definitely feel like I'm on the edge of the "Fastlane". Maybe by the end of the year. I'm already planning to take a couple weeks mostly off at the end of September... but then it's back to the frying pan.- machinistguy

HOT! CHATYeah, I figured. Business sometimes feels like a ball and chain when you have to spend a whole day managing adults. Can't imagine how being an employee feels like. That's exactly how I feel. I'm having to slowly focus more and more on leadership rather than doing the work. Feels like...- machinistguy

HOT! CHATI really can't decide if I love or hate having employees. Sometimes I wish I picked an online business I can do from anywhere that's easier to scale and want to sell this thing and get as far away from it as possible. Sometimes I'm glad I went the route I did. Guess the grass is always...- machinistguy

HOT! CHATLol, I believe it. I remember going over medical studies in my statistics class in college and thinking "wow, this is all BS. The test and math and are both unnecessarily complex with the obvious intent to obfuscate and designed in such a way that the results can made to prove any point you...- machinistguy

HOT! CHATAs a Catholic, it's pretty standard "devil is the prince of this world" stuff. Rejecting the world is entirely valid; it's why people become monks and hermits.- machinistguy

HOT! CHATI found black mold behind my AC vents. Suddenly, health issues that "randomly" flared up as soon as the weather was less than ideal made sense. I now have multiple expensive dehumidifiers and air purifiers constantly running.- machinistguy
