Should You Even Hire? | FlowForge Academy

Transcript

Erik: Should you hire? Let's ask AI the hard questions first.

Voiceover: We paste in the plumber's numbers — revenue, hours lost, and the tasks piling up. Back comes a recommended order: automate first, add a helper, then hire only when the numbers hold up. Don't skip straight to a full hire — work through that order first.

Erik: Five honest answers, then you'll know if hiring is right.

Key Points

Don't hire because you're tired — hire because someone else doing the work costs less than your time
Work through the order first: automate and tighten operations, then add a part-time helper, then hire full-time only once the numbers hold up
Being booked solid can mean strong demand — or it can mean you're underpriced. Check pricing before you hire
Employment law is local and real — AI gets you most of the way there, a professional gets you the rest
This isn't legal or financial advice — check your local rules and talk to a real advisor before you commit to payroll
