Hi there, I'm Bella Vasta from Jump Consulting. You might know me from CBS, NBC, Fox, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, or maybe you've seen me speak on stage or read my book, The Four Dogs That Every Business Owner Needs. In any case, get ready because you're about to get your hashtag Bella Butt Kickin' in this next episode of Bella in Your Business. So what do you say? Let's get ready and jump. Welcome to another episode of Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta and today I'm going to continue on the hiring train, you guys. I've got a lot to say about this and it was actually inspired by one of you amazing people who reached out to me in a DM on Instagram. The big question was, how do I know when I'm ready to hire? They really wanted to know, right? And so I wanted to talk about this on the podcast. I love it when I get questions from you guys because it truly does tell me what you're thinking and what you need to know. So if you are in that position where you're wondering, when can I hire? What do I need to hire? When is the perfect time to hire? I’ve got news for you—there is no perfect answer. I'm so sorry, okay? But I am going to tell you some factors to consider, and that's something that you really have to think about. I think that a lot of us feel like it has to be the perfect storm. We actually have that problem with everything in life. People think that there has to be the perfect timing for things—the stars have to align, you have to have everything taken care of. And while that is true to an extent when it comes to hiring—you can’t just do it suddenly—you do need to do some things leading up to it. I believe a lot of it comes down to mindset. And here's why: you're going to fail a lot. You just are. The minute you can get over that failure and accept it is when things will really be beneficial for you. Because if you understand that you might not pick the right person, or you might end up asking the wrong question, or you might think you found the perfect person and then they quit three weeks later, you could see that as failure—or you could see it as a learning curve.
