Nathan Hirsch is the Co-founder of EcomBalance, a monthly bookkeeping service helping e-commerce businesses manage their bookkeeping and finances. Nathan began his entrepreneurial journey in 2009 by selling products on Amazon and is best known for his involvement in co-founding Freeeup in 2015. With an initial investment of $5,000, Nathan helped scale the business to $12 million in yearly revenue before selling it in 2019. Nathan is also the Co-founder of AccountsBalance, EcomBalance's partner company, and the Co-founder of Outsource School, where he teaches business owners proven hiring methods for finding top-tier virtual assistants. In this episode… Finances are the driving force behind any company and indicate operational strengths and weaknesses. Most e-commerce business owners are ill-equipped to read and decipher financial statements, yet they shoulder bookkeeping responsibilities. Taking ownership of financials without accounting knowledge is a risk most entrepreneurs can't afford. Although hiring a bookkeeper is an additional monthly payment, business owners are relieved from the stress of balancing accounts. Bookkeeping requires understanding accounting principles and allocating time to read and record accurate financial details. Most e-commerce executives can't commit to recording expenditures amidst their leadership responsibilities. Nathan Hirsch testifies business owners who take financial responsibility are likely to spend more money fixing their mistakes than if they had hired a professional. He implores entrepreneurs to hire a bookkeeper, and, at the very least, review income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow monthly to recognize company trends.  On this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris welcomes Nathan Hirsch, Co-founder of EcomBalance, to discuss the pertinence of accurate bookkeeping for e-commerce businesses. Nathan shares common mistakes business owners make when balancing their books, how segmenting books can accelerate business growth, and the three financial reports owners must compare monthly. He also provides resources for hiring vetted CPAs and CFOs to transcribe budget data.

In-demand business functions and industries such as IT services, software development, finance and accounting, customer support, and data entry have sparked a need for outsourcing virtual talent. Additionally, there are a multitude of benefits to using this type of service, including cost-effectiveness, scalability and flexibility, time zone advantages, and access to specialized skills. As with any type of business, outsourcing comes with many challenges. Nathan Hirsch, a longtime entrepreneur, experienced years of hiring trial and error. The lessons he learned along the way led him to scale businesses beyond seven figures using only virtual assistants. Eager to share these methods as an online educational resource for other business owners led him to co-found the Outsource School.

Nathan Hirsch runs a bunch of companies. In college he bought and sold textbooks until the school hit him with a cease and desist order.  Then he became a drop-shipper and sold millions of dollars of baby products.

Galen welcomes Nathan Hirsch to talk about hiring the right people for the job. He is an expert in hiring and has spoken at industry events about scaling with remote talent. One of the challenges with hiring remote workers is their reliability and accountability, but with Nathan's proven success and experiences and processes, hiring remote workers is made easy. Who's The Guest? Nathan Hirsch is the founder of FreeUp, a rapidly growing freelance marketplace catering to eCommerce and marketing businesses. Prior to starting FreeUp in 2015, Nathan sold over $25 million on Amazon. He is an expert in hiring and has been interviewed in over 200 business podcasts. Nate regularly speaks at industry events about scaling with remote talent and is a recognized figure within the industry. His client's number one problem is poor experiences hiring from other freelance marketplaces and not being able to find reliable talent online. They use other platforms to post jobs only to run into an overwhelming number of applicants that haven't been vetted leading to high rates of turnover and frustration. He solves this problem for them by pre-vetting all talent before allowing only the top 1% into the network, providing around-the-clock customer support, and only introducing them to 1 qualified candidate at a time. FreeUp's core mission is to make hiring online simpler for both business owners and freelancers. Simpler for business owners to find, hire, and pay reliable talent online. And simpler for freelancers to find and start working with new clients online. Nathan Hirsch also founded Ecombalance.com, a monthly bookkeeping service for E-commerce sellers/agencies, and OutsourceSchool.com where he teaches his hiring processes.

Or more accurately… The power of outsourcing The need for outsourcing if a business is to scale And the difficulty of doing outsourcing the right way Seeing many businesses struggle to scale with poor staffing hires and the limitations of some of the existing freelance platforms… ...Nathan jumped into the world of outsourcing. FreeUp was born. Millions were made. I’m going to be honest… Many times, whilst doing these podcast interviews, I’ve wanted to reach for a pen and paper and selfishly take some notes for my own business.

This podcast is for you if… ...you have dreams and aspirations of building a large digital business that will need staffing. OR if you already have a successful business and you’re looking to scale and manage more effectively. Nathan shows us how… ...we can recruit highly-skilled staff, from the global marketplace on a budget. And promote leaders from within.

Working with virtual assistants can be a great benefit to organizations of all sizes and industries, and especially useful for start-up companies and small businesses looking to grow. Using virtual assistants can take many burdens off of a business owner and can do it in an economical way. Often, business owners will take on the tasks and duties associated with all aspects of their business leaving them to become overwhelmed and over burdened, which can lead to burnout and the potential demise of their business. Hiring virtual assistants of varying specialties can help streamline the processes and procedures established for a business and provide the expertise a business may be missing.    In this episode of #WorkTrends, entrepreneur Nathan Hirsch, the co-founder of OutsourceSchool, describes the myriad benefits of hiring virtual assistants. He explains how to properly hire, onboard, train and manage virtual assistants to get the most from the skills they bring to an organization. He, also, shares advice on when the best times are to hire virtual assistants with specific skill sets during various business growth milestones.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Nathan Hirsch. Nathan is the go-to entrepreneur and expert in remote hiring and e-commerce. Nathan started FreeUp.com in 2015 with $5000 and scaled it to over $12 million per year, selling it in 2019. He then went on to co-found the Outsource School, a company that educates and provide resources to entrepreneurs to train and help them effectively build and scale their business through outsourcing. The platform combines all of the knowledge and tried and tested systems that Nathan and his co-founders have used to scale businesses to 8-figured and beyond entirely through outsourcing. Hearing that, I bet you can guess why I asked him to be on today. In the world of Covid and business in general, it literally pays to know how to outsource well for your business – and Nathan is the guy to teach us. www.OutsourceSchool.com www.OutsourceSchool.com/Misfit for a special offer Nathan’s parents were both teachers. He grew up thinking he would go to school, get a job, etc. But his parents made him get jobs every summer and he realized he hated having a boss. When he went to college, he saw it as a way to learn, but also as “4 years to create a business” that he could own and run after college. He started our by buying and selling textbooks, essentially competing with his school. Before he knew it, he had lines out the door and got a cease and desist letter from the college! He then pivoted and started selling on Amazon. He then branched out selling other items and ironically found a niche in baby products. Before he knew it, he had a multi-million dollar business selling baby products from his college dorm room and needed to start hiring because he was overwhelmed. He tried college kids and then outsourced VA’s, and through managing them learned how to put processes in place that he no teaches today to outsource. He found a lot of holes in the VA process and it took forever to find good ones, so he had an idea to create a company that did that for people, pre-vetting VA’s and taking all the guess work or out of it. That company was Freeup.com. In 4 years, it went from a $5000 investment to $12 mil in sales with everything outsourced and done with 35 VA’s. They sold it in 2019. At this point, people were approaching Nathan for his experience and knowledge, so he created Outsource School to give people what they need. What are the do’s and don’ts of growing a good e-commerce brand? Nathan didn’t create his own products – he found others and sold them and dropshipped Partnering is important to success in building an e-commerce company. Nowadays, it’s important not to be on Amazon. The fundamentals haven’t changed. Focus on customer service Focus on how you can diversify and not have all your eggs in one basket. Focus on partnering to fill your gaps Why do you think outsourcing is the best way to scale a business? The world has changed. You don’t need to be located any specific place, you don’t need office space, etc. The barriers and costs to entry are low because of the free tools out there and internet. And in today’s world, just about anything you need in a business is available at your fingertips with skilled VA’s. Accounting, graphic design, website design and management, customer service, etc. can all be outsourced. You can scale and grow with part time VA’s up to full time as you go. It makes it much easier to build a business. Take us through how your build a business using outsourcing…what are the steps? 2 parts: The idea and MVP and outsourcing. Nathan’s first 2 hires are always a part-time bookkeeper and someone to get him out of his inbox and manage his email, appts., etc. T ake the MVP to market, get feedback and see if it has promise. You can then increase hours of the VA’s and add others in for other needs. “A MVP (minimum viable product) is important in any venture. Just because we sold a couple companies, doesn’t mean every idea is going to be good. So, you have to test the waters with low risk using an MVP.” At the 14 min mark, Nathan goes into detail about how they built Outsource School. To make your business better and grow, you need to get yourself out of the day to day so you can focus on the most important parts of growing and getting the business out there and making sure it has a market, creating brand awareness, networking, etc. Do that correctly and you’ll be in a good place after year one. What are the “got to” tasks or roles that should always be outsourced? Everything! There are 3 types of VA’s Followers: Non-US, $5-10 per hour and there to follower your processes and systems. Doers: Graphic designers, video editors, etc. Experts: High level. Think consultative and bring their own best practices, processes, etc. It’s important to know which type you need for a role. You will need all 3, but you need to know where to put them and hire them in at. At the 19:45 mark, Nathan talks about the SOP process (Standard Operating Procedure) and why it is so important to focus on. SOPs need to be broken down into 3 parts. Part 1: Why. Why is this task important? Why is it needed? What does success for it look like? Part 2: Step by Step. Put together the exact steps needed to do the job. Part 3: Do NOT Do List or Important Reminder List. Put all the important stuff at the bottom to make sure it is clear to them. Once you have the SOP, don’t focus on 1:1 training from day one. Give them the SOP and a video for the first week, pay them, and let them go. At the end of that week, test them. If they get 80% of it, then move forward with 1:1. This is a way to sift through VA’s to find the best one for the role. What’s the most important thing entrepreneurs need to get right from the beginning and why? If someone is newer to VA’s. It all starts with the interviewing and onboarding. Nathan uses the CARE method: Communication: They must be able to communicate to your standards. How fast do they respond? Do they communicate in a way you understand and do they understand you? Attitude: Is their attitude in line for what you want in the role. Red Flags: Be on the lookout for any red flags. Experience: Do they have the skill set and have proven it. Once you find someone, make sure you are on the same page for compensation. The onboarding method is called the SICC method in a 30 min meeting: Schedule: Are they good with the schedule that you need? Are there conflicts? Issues: Computer? Internet? Power? Communication: Will they communicate in the way you need to them to? Culture: Set the expectation of them having to be a culture fit and what that means. At the end, give them the opportunity to ask questions and back out. Anything else we should know on outsourcing? When starting – just focus on getting 5 hours per week back. Don’t try to outsource everything at once. What has surprised you most on your entrepreneur journey? Nathan gets rejected almost every day. He keeps putting himself out there and getting rejected all the time. You learn to focus on the successes and let the failures go and not affect you. Your ability to handle rejection well will help you grow a larger business. Nathan also shares a story of almost losing a whole business because they almost lost all the data for the company. Who do you go to for mentorship and why do you choose them? Look for people that have skills you are lacking that you cannot hire for. Create a relationship with them before asking for mentorship. You can even hire them as a coach and teach you their processes. Look for people with your same values. For Nathan, that is honoring your work, treating people with respect, and owning up when you make mistakes. ​ Best advice for an entrepreneur starting out today? Get your MVP out there. You don’t need hardly any money to start a business right now. Figure out if there is actually a market for your product and experiment to make sure it is worth your investment.   Best Quote: “A MVP (minimum viable product) is important in any venture. Just because we sold a couple companies, doesn’t mean every idea is going to be good. So, you have to test the waters with low risk using an MVP."   Nathan's Misfit 3: Reward those who have helped you achieve success. Honor your word and be super clear on what you can and cannot do. Figure out what your ideal day looks like to be your most productive and make sure you business is structured around that.   Show Sponsors: Assistagram:  www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com/Assistagram 5 Minute Journal: www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com/Journal

In this episode, Roland talks with Nathan Hirsch, the founder of (recently sold) FreeUp, and (the newly launched) Outsource School. They discuss his story, why he wouldn’t do a Drop-Shipping business now, his new Venture with Outsource School, and how he scaled FreeUp from a $5,000 investment to 12 million last year. “The entire time we acted like the sale wasn’t going to go through. That they were going to pull out at any given time because we didn’t want to get to the end, have them pull out, and have neglected the business for three months. So, it’s tough to do, but we ended up having our best month the month that we were acquired”. Nathan Hirsch  11 years ago, Nathan Hirsch started his first company, Portlight, in his college dorm room, selling textbooks on Amazon. Since then, Nathan has bootstrapped two multimillion-dollar businesses.  If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe on ApplePodcasts, write a review, and share this episode with your business-minded friends.

D & J sit down with Nathan Hirsch from OutsourceSchool to talk all things VAs, and Nathan makes quite a convincing case for building an outsourced team.

In today’s episode, I am interviewing Nathan Hirsch about remote work; the challenges faced when working remotely, managing a remote team, and the tools used to do so.  Nathan is the co-founder of FreeeUp - a marketplace that connects business owners with the very best virtual assistants.  Nathan is also an entrepreneur, currently working on Outsourceschool.com, which is a course that will help business owners and entrepreneurs interview, hire, and train virtual assistants.  What would you say is the biggest challenge most companies are facing because they’ve had to go remote? 04:29 Nathan says he looks at it in two parts; boundaries and communication.  It’s important to realize that there are boundaries when working from home. It’s not acceptable to contact an employee or employer late at night or over weekends about something that could have waited until morning or Monday.  The second point is communication; you need to sit down with your team and establish what channels of communication will be used, and how you will use them.  He explains their way of communication; they use emails during business hours, and he expects a response within those hours. But if something is urgent, emails won't be effective. They use Slack as the day to day communication channel.  They use slack for updates during the day, meetings, and basic communication. They use Whatsapp and Viber for emergencies; when you really need help and there is no other way of reaching the other person.  What expectations have you set for employees, for them to be completely present? (11:25) Nathan says for him, a quiet working environment is important.  It comes down to being productive; he doesn’t care whether you’re sitting at a desk or on your couch, he just doesn’t want his employees to be distracted, especially during meetings and phone calls.  There are companies that will come and check on your workspace at home, and it is their right to do so. Some companies are more serious than others, probably depending on where they are on the spectrum; whether they’re a corporate or a startup company.  One thing they’ve noticed from virtual assistants, especially in the Philippines, is that you can’t take care of 4 children and still be productive.  If you are working from home, you need someone to handle distractions, whether it be children or any other responsibilities, and you need to make that clear from the beginning.  As an extrovert, how do you handle being alone all day? 16:11 Nathan says he actually considers himself an introvert, only because he doesn’t necessarily gain energy from big crowds. He usually needs to rest and recoup after interacting with a lot of people.  His dogs made the transition very easy for him. Also, he has a business partner he enjoys working with, even though they both work remotely. He says his fiance is also home with him.  However, when he was home alone, he was very strict on structure and routine; he worked from 7 AM to 9 AM, then went to the gym for an hour, came back and worked on podcasts or webinars. By the time that’s done he can wrap up his day, maybe finish off a project or have a meeting with his team.  Working from home is not for everyone, but if you are up for the challenge you need to set a routine to keep your sanity.  If someone was concerned about having important conversations, like having to fire a person, while not being in the same room as the other person, what would you tell them? (21:28) Nathan says one of the things they teach in their course, is the correct way of letting an employee go. keep in mind that he is only referring to VA’s; if he were to break up a personal relationship he would take a whole different approach.  When there is a situation like this with VA’s in the Philippines, he simply sends them a message. Before doing so, he gets into the right mentality; being upfront and professional, but still nice.  He tells himself that regardless of the direction the conversation will go in, he sticks to his point. He handles the situation professionally but does so over Viber or Whatsapp as he removes this employee from the other channels.  His recommendation would be to stick to the facts; be clear and direct, and let them know that the decision is final. Be a professional person and move on. What tools have you used? What systems and boundaries do you have in place for working with a remote team? (26:14) Nathan says they keep it very basic with Google docs and DropBox, and they are currently using Vimeo to film a course.  You can give certain people access to view files while giving another person access to edit it.  He is big on building trust and relationships, so he has given people access to credit cards and banking details. According to him, there is not much you can do with those details anyway; if you steal his credit card, he can file a charge, get the card, and the money-back and fire that person.  The average virtual assistant is much more interested in building a relationship with you than they are with stealing or jeopardizing your information.  He adds that you should definitely make use of something like LastPass, but in time you will have to build trust and grant access within reason.  Connect with Nathan on LinkedIn See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
