Hi Heather, thanks for the comment and question. I think the need to hire your first employee is different for everyone and can vary greatly depending on the industry you're in and your overall goals. A corner coffee shop has a much greater need to hire employees than a work-from-home web designer.

What I wanted to do with this article was to show business owners that there are other options besides hiring that can still lead to sustained growth for your business.

Personally, for me, I am perfectly happy staying a one-man-shop for the foreseeable future. I do bring on part-time help for certain things, which I talk about in the article. But overall I'd rather not have to hire full time staff if I can help it.

Hi Matthew,

I think many entrepreneurs can relate to the need for caution when hiring. My questing is when and under what conditions do you think you might consider a hire? Do you think there is any situation in which you would consider bringing on an employee -- even part-time? Thanks for contributing.
