Can you even afford to hire a new employee?

For many small business owners, that seems like an overwhelming question. Employees often seem unaffordable, even when your business really needs the help.

The problem often isn't that hiring help isn't possible, but rather that, as a small-business owner, we're misjudging the affordability of hiring help. It's often your hiring mindset that's standing in the way of the support you need.

In this episode of the Growing Your Team podcast, you'll learn how one slight shift in your mindset can make hiring employees affordable.

Is your company sellable? Is your team ready for the sale of your company?

Selling your business is more than a financial decision. It's a strategic transformation that starts long before you list it. Whether you plan to sell soon or years from now, taking steps today to prepare your company and your team will yield the highest return when the time comes.

In this episode, Jamie Van Cuyk sits down with Dr. Ruth Mannschreck to discuss why business owners should focus on making their business sellable even before they're ready to sell, and how to prepare their team. Hence, they feel supported by a future sale and by the key steps that ensure you get the highest value for the business you've built.

Quote From Today's Episode

"If you are like everyone else in your industry, you are a commodity you don't want to be in that category, so that when a buyer looks at your business, you want them to think boutique, not commodity. - Dr. Ruth Mannschreck
