It would be SOO nice to have employees, but I don't feel financially comfortable yet to do so. Contract labor is always very cost effective - even if you pay more per hour - it often times costs you less in the long run. But, with the way things are going - in the next 2-3 months I will be forced to hire full time staff. I am currently that business owner with several contractors.

When a startup owner takes money out of the company, the guilt of 'what I could have done with that' sets in. But if we as a business owner are too (literally & figuratively) hungry to think straight about our plan, we’ll miss valuable opportunities. There is a middle path where a harmony can exist in both pro and perso lives. Great advice.

I have done some of the mistakes you talk about above, and it feels like hell when you know you could've done something better. Thanks for sharing this. Iaax Page This post is excellent.

The timeline suggestions i.e. 6 months payroll + 90 days of sales pipelines are critical yet concise enough I think for startups to focus on. It's easy to get mentally swamped on next steps when aiming for growth; so the clarity in those two points appeals a lot. Hoping you're well... Aaron and Steve — Great piece.

That was certainly a great article to read and keep in mind as I start looking that direction as graduation gets closer for me. Even as a consultant these are issues worth considering.
