Over the course of nearly two decades running my pet business, I hired over 250 people. When I sold my business in its 18th year, I had 35 staff members and 4 managers. In other words, I know a lot about hiring!
Now is your chance to take all the stress and overwhelm out of hiring staff in your own pet business. Whether you’re looking to hire your first staff members or make the transition from contractors to employees, everything you need to succeed on your hiring journey is in this audiobook.
If I can go from working 14-hour days to working only 2 – 3 days a week and traveling for months at a time while my pet business practically ran itself, I know it’s possible for you, too. Even if you simply want to take a weekend off once a month, hiring great people is the first step on your path to more time and financial freedom.
This audiobook will get you there!
