Ever been told you need to hire help ASAP? Same. And while that's usually good advice, nobody warns you about what happens when the person you hired is actually making everything worse.

I'm talking about this one today because a friend of mine just went through it. She spent months dealing with a VA who was unreliable, couldn't keep up with recurring tasks, and somehow never connected the dots no matter how many conversations they had. It was costing her more time to manage this person than it would've taken to just do the work herself.

And the mental load? That was the real killer. So we're getting into what it looks like when your "help" is actually holding you back, how to know when it's time to cut someone loose, and how to think about hiring the right way so you're not just filling a seat.

The sneaky way bad hires eat up more of your time than doing it yourself ever would
Why the mental load of managing the wrong person might be costing you more than their salary
The real story behind my friend's VA situation (and the moment everything changed)
What happened when I hired a full-time VA and why it backfired
The difference between needing help and needing the right help
A hiring mistake that has nothing to do with someone being bad at their job
Why right now is the perfect time to get intentional about who's on your team before Q4
