Ready to stop doing everything yourself without breaking the business… or your brain?
In this episode, Aly G and Leethal Lee work through the real leap from first contractor to first employee, drawing on our lived experiences, the wins, the wobbles, and the “why did we think this was a good idea?” moments. We unpack the mindset shift, the money maths, and the legal guardrails that keep you safe while you scale.
We start with the work, not the headcount. Map your tasks. Price your time. Decide what to eliminate, automate and delegate before you add another human to payroll. Then we break down contractor versus employee through the lenses that matter, cost, control, continuity and compliance, plus the warning signs your arrangement is drifting into employee territory.
From contracts and awards to STP, payday super and payroll software, we cover the dry stuff that saves you later, with a few honest truths about the emotional side of hiring and firing too.
And yes we have a blog on this one .... here tis.
If you’re standing at the edge of your first hire and want clarity, confidence and a little courage, this one’s for you.
💥Bold moves. Big wins. Leading the way.
