  • Who will do what? What other roles will you need as you grow? Play to your strengths
  • Infrastructure for scaling, email, phones, point of sale, credit cards, accounting, Google Workspace, website
  • Processes for scaling, document them in a way that you can easily train others
  • Hire to grow into manager role- protect the culture and get team buy-in. Look for people with high ceilings. Are they open to training? Are they stagnant?
  • Grow for the right reasons- creating the best opportunity for people to grow into more roles, impacting the community.
