Today, we've got a question from Bart, a seasoned reseller from Minneapolis who's ready to take their business to the next level by hiring an assistant. With a couple of years of experience under their belt, Bart is looking to expand their operation and free up time for more strategic tasks by delegating administrative work and client communication.

In this episode, we'll dive into the key steps Bart can take to ensure a smooth hiring process, from crafting a compelling job description to setting up the necessary legal and financial frameworks. We'll also discuss best practices for onboarding and training a new assistant to set them up for success in Bart’s reselling business. Get ready to learn how to scale your side hustle the right way!
