In the old days, I would ask all the right questions, have someone write pseudo code on a whiteboard or computer, read resumes, talk to their references, etc. What I found was that I would still choose people that
When it comes to potential clients, there are two situations in building a service-based business: No leads or very few client leads: for you, getting a new client lead is a celebration, because you have barely enough work to scrape by and pay the bills. Since your business isn’t slammed with work, you have no fear of wasting your time by talking to unqualified leads, you’re just happy someone contacted you.Too many leads: your business is busy
What is a 1099 employee? During the life of most small businesses, every owner might need help producing the deliverables and enlist persons outside their immediate family for help.

We started by outlining the qualities of a
The word “handbook” might bring back memories of a little book your high school issued that covered things like the student dress code and grade point averages. Or maybe you remember your Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts handbook, which had everything from how to wear your uniform to how to start a campfire. But you’re a small business owner, right? You and eight or ten employees you know by name. So why does your small
