The Voice of Small Business: First Staff

Having staff is part of the natural growth of a business. Read stories about businesses with 1 staff, and those with an international team. Those who have staff try to take from the business and those who have appointed CEOs. Businesses that are online only and those with vast physical operations.

In this book, we interview 10 entreprenuers and ask them all about their lessons and successes in regard to working with staff in their businesses. They answer the following questions:

When did you decide it was time to take on your first staff?

What lessons did you learn about looking after staff after you started taking on staff in your business?

How many staff do you have now since your first staff member? And how big do you want to grow your team?

Can you provide a word of wisdom for somebody thinking about putting on their first staff member?

We hope you learn from the experiences of these entrepreneurs, and be inspired by their stories.
