4. Scale Team With Revenue
Never hire based on what you think you’ll make. Hire based on what you’re already making. Use this rule: VA when you hit consistent daily orders Customer support when you’re answering emails daily Editor when ads are profitable Private supplier when volume increases Your business should pay for every hire. If payroll feels stressful, you hired too early.
