The reality is that when starting a small business venture you are usually everything; that is, you are the marketing manager, accountant, human resource manager, chief financial officer just to mention a few duties. This definitely is not advisable since you cannot be gifted in all these areas of business management. With time you will recognize that you are getting overworked and some of the tasks are not working out as expected or you are not meeting deadlines.
It therefore goes without saying that you will need to come up with a plan to employ qualified staff as the business grows. Have a good transition plan to ensure that the running of the business is not affected as other people you employ take up these duties.
To ensure a smooth transition you must understand the tasks that require attention. Before hiring get to know the job descriptions yourself. You cannot hire or outsource unless you understand what the tasks entail.
As you hire recognize it should be proportional to the growth of your business. Do not overspend in paying salaries or commissions. Since you will need to plough back some of your profits to other vital aspects of your business like marketing and advertising.
Realize you can't be an expert in everything hence you will need to work with others who are more experienced in others fields to ensure your business succeeds. To become an effective business person you must be ready to move from you comfort zone and trust others to manage the others aspect of your business that you not so good in.
