When a business owner takes some time to think about his or her business, a harsh reality often presents itself: The business just doesn't have the horses to jump the Barrier. There isn't enough time and/or talent to produce enough more and/or to sell enough more to get to the next level. Which leaves three options:
1. Throw in the towel
2. Keep hanging on
3. Make an entrepreneurial hire
Starting a business is an act of faith. Making a key entrepreneurial hire is a second, more profound, act of faith. You can't afford another salary. The consequences of a bad hire are likely disastrous. And yet, it's quite possibly the only way forward.
What are you going to do?
