Before I introduce you to today’s guest and why what he does is something you’ll want to pay attention to if you want to replace your day job income before you quit, I want to share why I think what he does is so important. So if you’ve listened to this podcast for any amount of time, you know that my story in a nutshell is that at 35 years old, I found myself sitting in my beige, windowless office at my day job basically having a panic attack about having to do that same day over and over and over again for the rest of my life, feeling super guilty for not being appreciative of living out the American dream of good grades in high school, graduating from college and working my way up the corporate ladder to a job with great salary and benefits. So I decided to start my own freelance web design business as a side hustle, quickly burnt myself out because I wasn’t charging enough and there was no way I’d have enough free time outside my day job to replace my income (and there way no way I was gonna leave my salary behind). So I pivoted to teaching entrepreneurs how to DIY and earning revenue from affiliate marketing, and then people starting asked me to build their websites for them… And with some help from my business coach I decided to say yes, and then over the next three of years I side hustled, earning my money from a mix of affiliates, courses and 1:1 web design services, started making enough money every month to replace my salary and cover business expenses and taxes, and I was able to quit my day job without taking a pay cut. What I don’t talk about too often is that I didn’t do it all on my own. About one year in, I finally hired a virtual assistant. About 6 months in, I’d tried to hire one… I’d been listening to all these online business podcasts that talked about outsourcing, and how fantastic and amazing it is to hire VA’s from the Phillipines because the cost of living is so low there compared to the US that at the time you could pay $250 a week for a 40/hour a week virtual assistant. So I tried that, and it just wasn’t a good fit for me - for several reasons, all of which are my fault, by the way. One, I had to be way more organized than I was to be able to outsource to people and at the time, I was totally winging it and putting out fires every single day. Two, there’s a significant time difference between the Phillipines + where I live and so it took longer to get things turned around once I delegated it when I was worked to when they saw it when they were working, asked me questions that I’d answer when I was working and they’d see the answer when they were working and now two days have gone by and they haven’t even started… so I’d end up just doing it myself. And there were a few communication issues, again, on my end because I’m super wordy talk too fast. And I didn’t have 40 hours of work to give them, but they were looking for something full time for one person. So that whole thing did not work out for me… And then I was introduced to a company that unfortunately is now closed, but it was basically a boutique VA agency for female entrepreneurs, based in the US. I was assigned an account manager, I would give her the tasks + instructions and she made sure the person on their team with that expertise knew what to do and got the work done. I paid $600 for 15 hours a MONTH (as compared to $600 for 40 hours a week) but it was well worth it to me. My business could afford the expense because I wasn’t even paying myself a paycheck at all - at the time I was investing everything I made back into the business.  They were able to manage my inbox and my facebook groups while I was at work, post and format my blog posts, set my weekly newsletter and they even were around at the beginning of Pep Talks for Side Hustlers and published the podcast for me. So when I quit my day job and I actually started paying myself a paycheck, I went looking for ways to reduce my expenses, and they raised their prices, and I could no longer justify to pay that much for 15 hours a month and I took back all the work into my business myself, and then the person who I was contracting with as a project manager on my web design projects wanted more hours so I gave the work to her, and that’s what we still do today and all is right with the world. What I want you to know is that I didn’t do it alone then, and I’m not doing it alone now. So if you’re listening to this and you’re thinking, yeah, the whole outsourcing to another country thing doesn’t sound right for me, and the whole paying $600 for 15 hours a month thing also doesn’t sound right to me, and I’m not sure I need a dedicated team member right now - but I know that if I’m really gonna grow I need to get these things off my plate, but how do I find the right person - then I’m super excited to introduce you to today’s guest, Nathan Hirsch of Freeeup.com* - where you can hire affordable, pre-vetted freelancers with no signup fees, no minimums so that you can get more done faster. Nathan is a 30-year-old serial entrepreneur who built his first company to over twenty million in sales using virtual assistants and freelancers. He created FreeeUp.com* to address the frustrations he had with finding the right freelancers to help him grow his business. Today we’re talking about: How Nathan competed with the college bookstore as a side hustle. How he used virtual assistants and freelancers to grow his Amazon store to over 20 million in sales. What his hiring experience was like when he was first hiring employees as a new entrepreneur. Nathan’s “Top 1%” philosophy The number one thing you must commit to for a great hiring experience. How to get ready for your first hire. The three types of hires and how to choose the right one for you. Why Nathan chooses to grow his business organically, without relying on paid ads, and how he does it. Nathan’s advice for someone who is struggling to grow their business The one belief Nathan had to change about himself to get where he is today. My favorite quotes from Nathan: “Instead of trying to turn every weakness into a strength, I hire an expert who already has success with it, already has systems for it, to come in and execute it. ” “Figure out what type of people you are working with and work with them the right way.” “Focus on low risk, high reward situations.” Resources mentioned in this episode: Freeeup.com* Bio: Nathan Hirsch is a 30-year-old serial entrepreneur and expert in remote hiring and eCommerce.

He regularly appears on leading podcasts, such as Entrepreneur on Fire, and speaks at live events about online hiring tactics. Nathan built his first company (Amazon business) to over twenty million in sales using virtual assistants and freelancers.  “I always wanted a faster way to find talent, I hated browsing through 50 applicants every-time I posted a job on the other marketplaces. I built FreeeUp to address the frustrations I had. FreeeUp receives thousands of freelancer applicants each week to join the marketplace. We interview and vet them, take the top 1% (based on skill, attitude and communication), and make them available to our clients quickly whenever they need them.” Connect with Nathan: Website: freeeup.com Facebook: Outsourcing Masters Facebook Group Podcast: Outsourcing and Scaling with Nathan Hirsch Nathan on The Entrepreneur On Fire Podcast: https://www.eofire.com/podcast/nathanhirsch/ Nathan on The Mixergy Podcast: https://mixergy.com/interviews/freeeup-with-nathan-hirsch/ Nathan on The Eventual Millionaire Podcast: https://eventualmillionaire.com/nathanhirsch/

From selling his college books on Amazon to a multiple million-dollar online empire, there is one trick to scaling a business that Nathan learned. He can’t do it all alone so hiring remote talent and virtual team members is key to accomplishing big business growth. Remote talent allows a business owner to access qualified resources from anywhere in the world, often for a fraction of the investment a traditional on-site employee would cost.

While we don’t specialize in tax, taxes play a huge role in planning.” –Rachel. -       “The major change with tax cut - 1. Lowered tax brackets 2. Increased standard deduction 3. Increased 401k contribution limits ” –Nathan       Resources Mentioned:   simplyfinance.com   Contact Information: Rachel Stewart Nathan Ollish, CFP

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, I welcome a new and improved Dean Holland. He hasn’t actually changed a thing, but I’m trying to spice things up a bit. And Dean and I together welcome Nathan Hirsch. Nathan started his first eCommerce business out of his college dorm room and has sold over $30 million online, and is now the co-founder and CEO of FreeeUp.com, a marketplace that connects businesses with pre-vetted freelancers in eCommerce, digital marketing, and much more. We talk with Nathan about how he started FreeeUp, the pitfalls of hiring freelancers, and how his first business nearly put his college bookstore out of business. From cease and desist to rise and persist Nathan told us a great story on this week’s Just the Tips of how, when he was in college, he began selling books out of his dorm room and the trunk of his car, until the school sent him a cease and desist letter. But by then he had set his eyes on bigger pies, and he began selling products on Amazon. He tried to move beyond books, but no matter what he tried to sell, he kept failing, until at the age of 20, he sold the one thing that all 20-year-old, male college students think about: baby products. But it all took off for him, and taught him hard lessons about selling online. The number-one problem for entrepreneurs: That first hire When Nathan was in college as a business major, he remembers one talk by the woman who led his school’s entrepreneurship program. While all of the business professors were telling him to take economics or finance, she just got onstage and said, “If you want true financial freedom, be an entrepreneur.” And from there he was hooked. But I had to ask him, what was the one lesson he’s really learned out in the field that they never taught him in college. And sure enough: It was hiring. Luckily, there’s no one better to talk to about hiring than Nathan, and that’s why we got him on this week’s Just the Tips. How Nathan made his best and worst hire Nathan told us about how when he first started his business, the only people he knew he could hire were college students; not exactly the most reliable pool of workers. His first hire was a buddy in his business law class, and that ended up being his best hire ever. But it also gave him the false impression that hiring was easy. So he then made bad hire after bad hire, not really understanding what was going wrong. It took him years to figure it out, and that process is what led to FreeeUp.com. FreeeUp and solving the problem of freelancers FreeeUp receives hundreds of freelancer applicants each week to join its marketplace. Nathan’s team interviews and vets them, and takes the top 1% (based on skill, attitude and communication), and makes them available to their clients quickly whenever they need them. It’s a little different than, say, Fiverr, which is an open market. FreeeUp, because it was built by entrepreneurs, is build to solve entrepreneurs’ problems. They have 24/7 support and have a no-turnover guarantee covering replacement costs if the freelancer ever quits. Nathan really has hiring down to a science, and he gives us a ton of great advice on how entrepreneurs can improve their own hiring.

Nathan Segal, artist, writer and Host of the podcast The Thought Hackers shares how he used proven NLP techniques and an amazing coach to heal his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). For decades Nathan, he was troubled by the pain of abuse that went back to his childhood and traumatic events in his adult life. Despite his strong spiritual practices and achieving many milestones, his mental suffering remained. In 2016, a chance encounter with life coach Hamish completely dissolved his PTSD and all the symptoms vanished. In the wake of this transformation, he is now an advocate, speaker and coach for those seeking complete relief from PTSD.

One of the most common challenges agencies of all sizes are facing right now is the finding the right people to add to the team. Client budgets and programs are growing, new business is getting a little easier and so everything should be rosey. But when you don’t have the right team to get the work done – it’s frustrating and frightening. 10-15 years ago the prevailing attitude was that agencies needed everyone under one roof. After all the work is so collaborative. But when the recession hit and people had to reduce fixed expenses to survive, many agencies who swore they would never use freelancers or hire someone virtual crossed over and did just that. That’s why I was so interested in talking to Nathan Hirsch, the co-founder and CEO of FreeeUp.com, the hands-on hiring marketplace connecting hundreds of online business owners with reliable, pre-vetted remote workers. Nathan can also be found on leading podcasts, such as Entrepreneur on Fire and Eventual Millionaire, speaking about online hiring tactics. If you listen with an open mind and a willingness to consider something different – I think you might get some interesting ideas about your own talent pool.   What you’ll learn about in this episode: Remote workers give business owners an opportunity to level up their talent at a cheaper cost than traditional employees The advantages freelancers bring to agencies The idea of creating your own marketplace with your freelance pool so they compete with each other and always deliver their best work How the freelance business is changing and freelancers have their own team working for them Why Nathan believes you should pay freelancers on an hourly model How Nathan’s company Freeeup helps its freelancers work with agencies so everyone wins Minimizing risk when working with freelancers and what Freeeup does to make its freelancers less risky than other freelancers Structuring interviews to weed out the wrong freelancers before you start working together Tools to work more effectively with freelancers and virtual employees The pros and cons of having your employees work remotely Creating a feeling of collaboration and teamwork when your team doesn’t see each other regularly Why allowing an in-office employee to go virtual rarely ever works The importance of diversifying when you’re hiring Ways to contact Nathan Hirsch: Website: freeeup.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/freeeupcom Twitter: @freeeup Instagram: @freeeup_ Email: nathan@freeeup.com We’re proud to announce that Hubspot is now the presenting sponsor of the Build A Better Agency podcast!
