Build Systems or Hire? What to do first.

It’s a question as old as business itself…

‘What comes first, the system or the new hire?’

Often business owners get torn between the two. So much so that they can’t make a decision. Which means they carry on with no systems and no new employees.

In the meantime they get more and more busy. And even more stressed.

That’s why in today’s podcast Tony and Phil dive head first into this problem.

There is a correct answer to our business problem.

Join them and settle the question once and for all.

 ‘What comes first, the system or the new hire?’

After listening in you can stop getting torn between the two choices. And start making strides forward with your business.

Let’s get into it!
