Hiring Mistake: Don't Hire Leaders Before Fixing Basic Admin!

Hiring Mistake Alert: Don’t Hire Leaders Before Fixing Basic Admin!

In DIOTALK EPISODE #220, the speaker breaks down one of the most common traps entrepreneurs fall into: hiring out of order.

Here’s the story: You’re hustling hard as a solopreneur—working 8, 10, even 15 hours a day. Business is booming, revenue is climbing, and burnout is knocking at the door. So what do most people do? They panic-hire. Instead of starting with admin support to handle the basics, they go straight for a salesperson or worse… a leader.

⚠️ The problem?

You have no systems in place.

You don’t know how to manage a leader yet.

That expensive hire is left thinking: “What do you want me to do? There’s nothing here.”

The result? 💸 A drained balance sheet, zero progress, and a frustrated team member.

👉 The lesson: Before you hire leaders, fix your foundation. Start with the small but crucial roles that handle admin and create systems. THEN bring in leaders who can thrive in that structure.
