I've been running my digital marketing agency solo for about two years now and consistently hitting capacity with my current client load. The workload is becoming overwhelming working 60+ hour weeks, but I'm nervous about the financial commitment of bringing someone on. My revenue is stable but not skyrocketing, and I keep going back and forth between "hire when you can afford it" versus "hire to grow." How did you know you were truly ready for that first hire? What metrics did you look at beyond just revenue? Were there any specific signs that made it clear it was time to stop being a solo operation and build a team?
