Episode 106: Training and onboarding my first hire


This is the third episode in my series about how I hired my first employee – an assistant who is now replying to the bulk of my e-mail, saving me over an hour a day. Today I’ll talk about what I did in the two weeks leading up to her start date, what we discussed on the training call, how her first day went, and how having an assistant has affected my own work. I also describe why I’m glad I waited so long to hire, and a number of key takeaways from the hiring process.
