Look most business owners make the wrong choice in these situations. Be careful, quick decisions often end in regret.

There's one point I'm curious about. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.

I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

It's rare to find an explanation this clear.

Let me write how it's done in practice. Everyone rushing into staff or contractor gets stuck at the same point.

Let me summarize the topic since several different answers were given. A small market isn't bad; working cheaply in a small market is.

When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too not just the best.

I agree, and I'd like to emphasize that. Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

If you post the result here, it will help others too.

let me speak from the other side; I'm on the supplier side but everyone rushing into sttaff or contractor gets stuck at the same point.

hope this helps.

Let me write how it's done in practice. When making a decision also write down the cost of reversal.

The biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say. Good luck with that.

I'm a small business, let me explain from my side. Calculate how many months you can survive without revenue, then halve that number.

Good luck with that.

Let me share my experience. Mistakes made on the staff or contractor side are usually reversible but expensive.

Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.

Let me share my experience. Finding a new customer is more expensive than keeping an existing one.

Hope this helps.
