The Hardest Hire Is The One You Keep Avoiding

19 July 2026 4 min read

There is a chair in your business that has been empty for two years. You have interviewed for it. You have almost hired for it. You have decided you can "just do it yourself for now."

Why you keep postponing

Because filling that chair means letting go of the identity of being the person who does it.

And that identity is the one thing that got you here.

What actually happens on the other side

The moment you hire that person, you get your calendar back. You get your evenings back. You get the version of yourself that started this business back.

You are not losing control. You are finally taking it.

If this hit home

Then you are the person this room was built for. Let's keep the conversation going.
