Summary
Running your own business shouldn’t feel like a never-ending marathon. If you’re clocking 60-hour weeks and dreaming about hiring your first employee just to claw back some sanity, this episode is for you. Hi, I'm Mike Fox, host of this podcast, " Lone Wolf Unleashed ." In this episode I'm tackling the not-so-glamorous reality of delegation—why just deciding “I’ll get someone in to handle my marketing” won’t cut it, and why human beings bring as much risk as reward. Forget wishful thinking: you’ll learn why setting up solid processes, documenting your tasks (with templates to shave off real hours), and mapping out a hiring strategy are essential before posting a job ad or starting interviews.
