Millionaire University Need to Free Up More Time? How You Can Hire Earlier Than You Think! | Eric Dingler
#756 Hiring your first team members doesn’t have to feel scary — or expensive! In this episode, host Brien Gearin welcomes back Eric Dingler, founder of In Transit Studios, to break down one of the biggest growth milestones for any entrepreneur: making your first few hires. Eric shares exactly how to know when you’re ready (hint: it’s earlier than you think), what roles to hire first (often admin around revenue, not “sales”), and where to find great talent — plus the three hiring paths he recommends (direct hire, supported hire, and “gap” hiring). They also dive into building SOPs as you go, the four traits Eric interviews for (character, chemistry, calling, competency), and his “10/10/80” framework to make sure hiring actually increases revenue instead of just adding payroll!
What we discuss with Eric:
+ When you’re actually ready to hire
+ Starting with 10 hours/week
+ First hires ≠ sales roles
+ Admin vs. revenue work
+ Where to find great hires
+ Upwork vs. agencies
+ Building SOPs while flying
+ Hiring for character first
+ The 10/10/80 framework
Thank you, Eric!
