Hiring the right team member can transform your business, but hiring the wrong one? It can drain your time, money, and sanity.
In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m sharing real stories from my own hiring journey, the flops, the fixes, and the eye-opening lessons that helped me build a team that actually supports me. From cheap hires to knee-jerk decisions, interns to untrained assistants, you’ll hear what not to do, and exactly how to prepare for your next great hire.
If you're looking to grow your team the right way, this episode is packed with lessons learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why “cheap” help usually costs more in the long run
- The hidden cost of hiring out of desperation
- What tasks to delegate first (and what to keep)
- Why interns and generalists can drag you backward
- The systems that keep a team running smoothly
