Section 15

Team Building

Buy back time. Protect quality. Scale margin.

When to hire

Hire when you've turned down work 3 months in a row, or when a task is repeatedly the bottleneck.

Contractors

Start with vetted contractors per skill: writer, designer, ads, SEO. Pay per deliverable.

Virtual assistants

Buy back time on repeatable, low-judgment work first. SOP everything before delegating.

Specialists

When a service line crosses $10k MRR, hire a specialist to own it end-to-end.

Agency structure

Pods of 3-5 around outcomes: strategist + producer + 1-2 specialists per client cohort.
