Hiring Your First Employee as an Entrepreneur

You're an entrepreneur. You just started a business, and you're asking the question everybody struggles with. "Who do I hire first as my first employee?" Do I hire somebody in sales, marketing, operations, accounting, finance, product development, legal? Who do I hire first? Answering that question when hiring your first employee is a very simple answer that I get into in this video.

Valuetainment- The best channel for new, startup and established entrepreneurs.

Schedule: New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday on a broad array of entrepreneurial topics.

Steve Jobs couldn't actually code. He was good at electronics but not as good as he was at Sales, Marketing, branding and design. However Wozniak was the opposite; an INSANE engineer in electronics and coding however was super introverted and wanted to give the Apple 1 away for free (and did at first). The two complemented each other perfectly. Great video Pat

I dont want to be a millionaire..I have to be!

[DaveTalksBusiness]

This is awesome! One piece of advice I would add is the incredible importance of having having written copy for your processes. To new business owners, your company is what you write. When it comes time to onboard staff you will have the tasks you want to delegate on hand, in writing and ready to go for your job description!

Dam, I swear that these videos come out exactly when I need. I am literally in the process of picking my first partner/employee and i've been debating. The part about picking someone who is like you is so right. I realize I was not moving forward because It was "fun" to think about someone with my same skills along side but at the end of the day, I need to focus on fixing the weaknesses. TY!

Forget theories! I'm learning from Valuetainment!!!

Not a lot of people watch this 4 years later I’m sure but what id like to say is we are truly blessed and lucky to have this man. We have seen him apply his own discoveries that he has taught us over years and the proof is literally all there. He has duplicated his buisiness over and over again. One of my biggest role models❗️

[alyoshenka]

Mr. David, seems like you have perfectly felt every one of those situations. You clearly understand each and every category of your audience and you know exactly what to teach them in every episode. I appreciate your time, effort and consistency to continuously educate humanity with the most valuable information. God bless.

There's something about this channel that I can't explain, even though about 65% of the time the message conveyed is that which am already acquainted with, there is just something, some passion, I can't explain it....All I know is that it keeps bringing me back and everyday am always learning and taking notes. Keep it up because one day, you and I are gonna meet at a whole new different level. And by the way am following from Kenya.

Appreciate the advice Patrick, it is incredible that this is available free of charge. My favorite part was when you were talking about hiring someone that has your opposing strength. I never thought about it that way! Thank you!

[raunakshetty]

I needed this so much... I just got 2weeks to hire ppl on board before I sail.. and you popped up at right time... bless you, guys... big fan..all time

[armanebadi]

The hell!! Was the best piece of advice I’ve ever heard!! Seems obvious but once you realize how many times you made the mistake of partnering with the wrong person you’ll find this advice extremely powerful!! Way to go Patrick. Thanks ✌️

The last line sums it all up. It's great to have people like us around but that's better suited for a friendship and not business. Major self-reflection is coming from this video but much needed information that I will be implementing. Keep the value coming!

[hanryfloreschan]

Thank you Lord I took engineering. Because now I'm learning business thru valuetainment and did not waste money on business schools lol!

[Studiofaeltube]

[EntrepreneurDrive]

I came back to watch this one a 2nd time. I think my opposing strength/partner is sales. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for how to start building my team.

[crevthabeing]

The ending had me rolling on the floor, awesome video! I'm Sales & Product Development. My weakness is Marketing, Accounting, and Admin. S/o to everyone in the comments hope to see you at the Top!
