From Solo to Supported: Smart Hiring for Small Businesses

Hosted by GoTribe | Led by Liz Redway, Redway HR

Hiring help should feel like a relief, but for many freelancers and small business owners, it quickly becomes a source of stress, guilt, or confusion.

In this powerful session, we’ll break down the practical strategies behind growing a team without losing your mind (or your profit margins). Whether you're exploring outsourcing for the first time or thinking about bringing someone in-house, we’ll cover what to consider, common mistakes to avoid, and how to keep your business values at the centre of your decisions.

Expect real talk, shared experiences, and actionable takeaways to help you build support around you without creating more work for yourself.

Perfect for: solopreneurs, side hustlers, and micro business owners ready to grow on their terms.
